Delhi: I need a drink. Specifically...

vinayverma · Mar 21st, 2008, 00:39

Dzibead, I've already looked into in it when I moved back to India, the problem is not in 'can you do it'?, the issue is, are you allowed to do it and what is the license fee to get this?
I'm still open to do it and have funds..but?

Two places to get good beer in Delhi:

1) Flavors, in Defence Colony, used to serve Paulaner Heffeweisen. When I left India last November, they didn't seem to have it in stock anymore, but maybe that was just temporary. You even get a slice of lemon.
2) At the 4th of July party at the US embassy, more fun that it sounds, you can find Sam Adams. Which makes me wonder if you can buy it at the embassy all the time.

Good luck!

Dear Beer lovers,

In Gurgaon: There is a local wine shop next to Signature Towers adjoining the highway. They keep Guinness, Carls Berg, Stella ... There is another wine shop near India Oil building toward AIIMS, it also keeps great stuff. I just moved back to Delhi from Gurgaon, so soon will find a place in Vasant Kunj which keeps great beers as summer there...

Happy drinking

I'm in Gurgaon every weekday for work. Tell me where I can find this magical mystical beer of which you speak...

Hey DB, good to see you...you have not been to nay of the meetups in a while !! I guess the last one you attended was when Steven was in town...!!

@ Dave : I guess vinay is talking about Haywards Black Stout..anyways I have no taste in beers, and cannot differentiate a good one from bad one...couple of times I had the Carlsberg only for the snob value...

Dave how about
PAULANER HEFE WEISSBIER
Kilkenney

Any of these up your alley?

I like the sound of both those. Now let me practice some of my fledgling Hindi: Kilkenney kaha hai?!?

puchoo · Mar 27th, 2008, 17:52

There is a resto bar in CP called Qba which serves both these, no idea about the prices though but well worth a visit i would imagine.. link to their site here

Let me know how it went...!

I knew about that one..but i was at this party recently and they produced this bottle which looked like it had a liter plus of beer...was not able to catch the host again so never managed to ask....maybe they had imported it..
