Bengaluru’s vibrant F&B scene has a new addition, Brau Galie, Asia’s first-ever glass microbrewery from Germany. Located in Koramangala, this trend-setting venue blends time-honored brewing methods with futuristic technology, creating an all-encompassing experience where craft beer, gourmet food, and live entertainment come together.

The name ‘Brau Galie’ itself reflects its essence - ‘Brau’ means Brew in German, and ‘Galie’ translates to Gallery, symbolizing the artistry of brewing. More than just a microbrewery, it’s an interactive space that thrives on the concept of ‘LIVE is LIVE,’ offering live brewing, a cocktail bar, an open kitchen, and live music - all under one roof.

What sets Brau Galie apart is its commitment to innovation and authenticity. The microbrewery operates with a state-of-the-art copper and glass brewing system, helmed by a German Brewmaster, ensuring an unmatched beer experience. The lineup features six signature brews, including three classic German varieties - Bavarian Hefe, Munich, and Dunkel Lager along with three contemporary global styles curated by Indian brewmasters. One of its standout offerings is the Raspberry Sour, a seasonal specialty that adds a refreshing twist to its collection.

The experience goes beyond beer, as Brau Galie’s culinary offerings are designed to complement its brews. The menu spans from tapas-style small plates to elaborate full-course meals, making it an ideal choice for both casual gatherings and grand celebrations. Whether choosing from an à la carte selection or opting for exclusive celebration packages, guests are promised a gastronomic delight.

The venue’s aesthetic appeal is equally impressive. Spanning multiple levels, it boasts a retractable rooftop that opens to Bengaluru’s skyline, along with a hand-painted three-story mural that serves as a visual treat. Designed for inclusivity, Brau Galie welcomes everyone with a relaxed dress code, a kid-friendly policy, and an ambiance free from overpowering music - encouraging meaningful conversations and connections.

“Guests are at the heart of everything we do at Brau Galie. Our vision is to create an extraordinary space where premium ambiance meets value for money. We aim to bring people together over great brews, gourmet cuisine, and immersive live entertainment. It’s a blend of tradition and innovation, and we’re excited to share it with Bengaluru,” says Mr. Sunil Naidu, Founder and Visionary behind Brau Galie.

As Bengaluru’s hospitality landscape continues to evolve, Brau Galie emerges as a must-visit destination. More than just a microbrewery, it’s a celebration of craft beer, culture, and community, setting a new benchmark in the city’s dining and nightlife scene.
