 This summer, Bengaluru's vibrant craft beer scene is celebrating the season’s favourite fruit, mango with two specially curated seasonal brews by Red Rhino Craft Brewery and BLR Brewing Co.

At Red Rhino, beer lovers can sip on the Mango Rosemary Ale, a tropical light malt that strikes a refreshing balance between juicy mango and aromatic rosemary. Clocking in at 8% ABV with a gentle 18 IBU, this ale is crisp and subtly bitter, offering just the right amount of sweetness. Priced at INR 375 for 500 ml, this brew is available only until stocks last at Red Rhino, Bengaluru.

Meanwhile, BLR Brewing Co. presents ‘Aam Ki Baat’, a Mango Saison that blends rich Alphonso mangoes with traditional Belgian Saison. With 5.3% ABV and 15 IBU, this beer offers a fruity, mildly spicy profile that’s both tropical and complex. Priced at INR 450 for 500 ml, it’s available throughout May across all BLR Brewing Co. outlets in Bengaluru.
