Mumbai-born craft beer and hospitality brand Berlin Brew Taproom is expanding its footprint with the opening of a new outlet at Kamala Mills this month, strengthening its presence across the city's dining and social landscape.
The new taproom marks another step in Berlin Brew's evolution into a scalable, multi-outlet hospitality business, with the brand working towards a long-term ambition of approximately 20 outlets.
Inspired by Berlin's beer culture but shaped by Mumbai's energy, Berlin Brew brings together small-batch craft beers, approachable food and social spaces designed around connection. Rather than replicate a traditional German beer hall, the brand interprets European brewing styles through Indian ingredients, flavours and hospitality.
At the heart of the experience is a rotating craft beer programme, with fresh batches brewed regularly across a range of styles. The selection includes Belgian Wit, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, IPA and Crème Noir Milk Stout.
The brewery also experiments with flavour-led offerings such as Alphonso Mead, Guava Cider, Coffee Orange Cider and gin and tonic-inspired pours. Indian ingredients including jowar, Alphonso mango and Gondhoraj lime bring a local dimension to the brewing programme while keeping the underlying beer styles central to the experience.
For guests looking to explore different styles, the Beer Tree offers six 150 ml pours as a tasting flight, allowing both first-time drinkers and seasoned craft beer enthusiasts to sample the range.
The food menu is designed to complement the beer-led experience, with dishes suited to sharing and socialising. German-inspired favourites such as bratwurst sausages, chicken schnitzel and pretzels are paired with Indian-influenced preparations, reflecting Berlin Brew's Mumbai-inspired approach to food.
Pairings also form an important part of the experience, with combinations such as Crème Noir Milk Stout with warm pretzels bringing together the flavours of the kitchen and taproom.
Across its existing locations, Berlin Brew has developed distinct formats suited to different neighbourhoods. The Times Square outlet in Saki Naka offers a lively after-work setting, while the Beer Garden off Veera Desai Road focuses on an open-air experience. The Beer Library adds another dimension through its book-lined setting.
The upcoming Kamala Mills outlet will extend Berlin Brew's presence into one of Mumbai's established dining and social destinations.
As the brand expands, Berlin Brew is focusing on building systems that support consistency across locations. Recipe standardisation, staff training, procurement, beer quality controls and outlet-level accountability form part of its approach to creating a repeatable hospitality model.
"Growth only matters if the guest experience survives it. Before we add more locations, we are strengthening recipes, training, procurement, quality checks and outlet-level accountability. Our long-term ambition is to build Berlin Brew towards 20 outlets, but we want each new opening to feel considered rather than copied," said Mr. Aniket Patil, Founder, Berlin Brew.
With Kamala Mills joining its growing Mumbai presence, Berlin Brew continues to build a hospitality platform centred on craft beer discovery, neighbourhood-specific experiences and a consistent approach to quality and value.
Berlin Brew Taproom is a Mumbai-based craft beer and hospitality brand inspired by Berlin's beer culture and interpreted through Mumbai's diverse flavours, energy and social spirit. The brand combines a rotating craft beer programme, approachable food and distinctive taproom experiences across its locations, with a long-term vision to build towards approximately 20 outlets.

As the Official Restaurant Partner for Avengers: Doomsday in India, Burger King has introduced a special menu that gives its signature flame-grilled offerings a superhero-inspired twist. Available from November 3, the collection features burgers, sides and a beverage, with burger prices starting at ₹199.

Inspired by the film's antagonist, Doctor Doom, the signature Whopper features a striking black glazed bun and a bold spicy garlic flavour. The brand says the distinctive bun colour is achieved using plant-derived natural food colour, aligning with its stated commitment to avoiding synthetic colours and artificial flavours in its menu.
The collection also draws inspiration from other Marvel characters, with a selection of premium burgers and sides named after familiar superheroes and villains.
The limited-edition collection includes:
Doomsday Whoppers: Doomsday Whopper Extra Crunch Veg and Doomsday Whopper Flame-Grilled Chicken
Premium Burgers: Loki Molten Cheese Burger, Cyclops Soft Paneer Burger and Magneto Crunchy Chicken Burger
Sides: Shuri Vibranium Fries, Falcon Fearless Chicken Wings, Magneto Boneless Chicken and Thor Thunder Nuggets
Beverage: Fantastic Fizz
The menu follows Burger King's signature dunking platform, with spicy garlic flavour cues and bold sauces featuring across the offerings.
The collaboration extends beyond the menu through special-edition packaging featuring Avengers: Doomsday-themed burger boxes and a Doctor Doom-inspired crown. The packaging draws on the film's visual identity, turning the meal into a themed experience for fans.
Select meals from the collection also come with opportunities to access Marvel-themed merchandise. The campaign begins with a limited-edition collectible tumbler, with further merchandise planned to be introduced in phases.
Burger King has also opened a pre-booking window through its app, featuring a limited-edition Doomsday Meal bundled with a collectible Avengers: Doomsday tumbler at a special price.
Speaking about the launch, Kapil Grover, Chief Marketing Officer, Burger King India, said the collaboration brings together the Marvel fandom and Burger King's signature Whopper experience. He added that the menu, themed packaging and merchandise are intended to extend the excitement of the film beyond the cinema.
The launch is supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign spanning digital promotions, in-restaurant activations, outdoor advertising and influencer partnerships. The strategy aims to engage both food enthusiasts and Marvel fans ahead of the film's release.
Guests can access the Avengers: Doomsday Collection through dine-in, takeaway and home delivery at Burger King restaurants across India. Orders are also available through the BK App and leading food delivery platforms.
With its character-inspired menu, distinctive black-bun Whopper and collectible merchandise, Burger King India is bringing the Marvel universe into its quick-service restaurant experience for a limited period.

Gurugram-based food brand The Masala Story has opened its first dine-in outlet on Golf Course Road, Sector 54, marking a new phase in its journey since its establishment in 2020. Known for its North Indian and Mughlai offerings through delivery and catering, the brand is now welcoming guests to a dedicated dining space while continuing its existing operations.
Spread across approximately 1,000 sq. ft., the new outlet has been designed as a small, intimate space with soft lighting and music. Its location in Sector 54 offers access to a mix of commercial offices, residential towers and an established food and café scene, allowing the brand to serve walk-in diners as well as nearby households.
At the heart of the brand's culinary operations is Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef of The Masala Story. Having previously worked as an academician, she pursued her interest in food through national and international culinary programmes. She now oversees the kitchen's day-to-day operations and personally develops the dishes and recipes featured on the menu.
The menu brings together several of the brand's signature preparations. Its Butter Chicken, named among Zomato's Top 10 in Gurgaon in 2025, is one of the highlights. Other offerings include slow-cooked Dal Makhani served in a clay handi, Paneer Lababdar, high-protein non-fried Paneer Cigar Rolls and Chicken Tikka.
The dessert selection includes the signature Gulab Jamun Nut, which presents the familiar flavours of gulab jamun in a doughnut shape, along with Phirni.
Speaking about the expansion, Vatsala Khanna, Founder and Head Chef, The Masala Story, said, “Our guests have trusted us with their meals at home, and this space lets us welcome them to our table for the first time. Every dish we serve carries a story written in spice, from our Butter Chicken to our slow-cooked Dal Makhani, and Golf Course Road, with its energy and love for good food, felt like the perfect place to share it.”
Beyond its dine-in and delivery operations, The Masala Story also caters to private and corporate gatherings. Its catering portfolio includes grazing tables, charcuterie and cheese boards, Mediterranean mezze, Mexican spreads, executive lunch combinations, and customised Jain, vegan and vegetarian menus.
With its first dine-in outlet, The Masala Story is expanding its presence in Gurugram while bringing its North Indian and Mughlai offerings to guests in a new setting.
