Beerlin has opened its doors in Gurugram, introducing itself as a people’s brewery rooted in community, comfort, and everyday experiences. Located at South Point Mall on Golf Course Road, the new brewpub overlooks the city skyline with the Aravalli hills forming a scenic backdrop, offering a setting that feels both urban and relaxed.

Envisioned as a modern neighbourhood brewpub, Beerlin is designed for regular, unhurried visits rather than occasion-led dining. The space encourages guests to drop in for a weekday pint, spend long afternoons, or settle into easy evenings with friends. The focus remains firmly on approachability, both in atmosphere and experience, making it a place guests can return to often.

At the heart of Beerlin is its in-house brewing programme, featuring freshly crafted beers that balance flavour with easy drinkability. The emphasis is on well-made, matured brews that are enjoyable across casual and extended sittings.

The design of the space adds to its appeal. Beerlin follows an Openhaus-style layout that blends indoor comfort with an open-to-sky outdoor setting. Natural light, warm materials, and a fluid layout allow the brewery to transition seamlessly through the day. Views of the Aravallis on one side and Gurugram’s skyline on the other create a distinctive visual contrast rarely seen along Golf Course Road.

Complementing the beers is a comfort-driven food menu built to pair effortlessly with the brews while standing strong on its own. The offerings include Indian mains and kebabs, global small plates, pizzas, pastas, Asian bowls, and classic bar favourites, striking a balance between familiarity and variety. The menu supports both casual grazing and full sit-down meals, reinforcing Beerlin’s all-day appeal.

Sharing his thoughts, Sandeep Pundir, Co-founder, Beerlin, said, “Beerlin was imagined as a modern neighbourhood brewpub—approachable, carefully crafted, and rooted in everyday life. We believe great craft beer takes time, with maturation and ingredient quality being essential. The space is designed to evolve through the day, whether for lively gatherings or calm moments overlooking Golf Course Road.”

With its emphasis on craft, community, and comfort, Beerlin positions itself as more than just a brewery. As Gurugram’s dining culture continues to evolve, Beerlin emerges as a people-first destination where good beer, good food, and easy conversations come together without pretense.

Naples is not just a city but a living ecosystem shaped by land, sea, fire, and everyday life. Its food culture is deeply tied to geography, people, and daily rhythms, and this connection forms the foundation of Natura di Napoli, Serious Slice’s latest Neapolitan pizza series. Drawing inspiration from the streets, markets, and kitchens of Naples, the series tells a story rooted in tradition, culture, and local ingredients.

Available exclusively at Serious Slice, Cunningham Road, Natura di Napoli breaks the city down into five defining influences: volcanic land, coastal sea, living markets, fire, and night. Each pizza reflects one of these elements, allowing diners to experience Naples layer by layer through flavour, texture, and technique. Rather than a standalone concept, the menu is designed as a continuous journey that unfolds one pizza at a time.

At the core of the series is Serious Slice’s 72-hour fermented dough, cooked in under 90 seconds in a high-heat oven. This minimal and deliberate approach stays true to traditional Neapolitan pizza-making, allowing the quality of ingredients and craftsmanship to take centre stage. What sets Natura di Napoli apart is its narrative format, where every pizza represents a distinct part of Neapolitan life.

“Naples is not a recipe, it’s an ecosystem,” says Atul Sunder of Serious Slice. “This menu is our way of listening to the city, its geography, its people, and its rhythm, and translating that into pizza without distortion.”

The menu features five pizzas, each symbolising a different force. Terra di Fuoco highlights Campania’s volcanic soil with San Marzano DOP tomatoes, fior di latte, smoked provola, basil, and olive oil. At the lighter end is Luna di Limone, made with Amalfi lemon cream, ricotta, honey, zucchini gialla, mozzarella, and tomato, offering a softer and more delicate experience.

“Neapolitan pizza is about knowing when to stop,” explains Anirudh Kheny. “If the dough is right and the ingredients are honest, the pizza speaks for itself.”

Guided by respect for origin and technical precision, Natura di Napoli is designed as a complete tasting story rather than a one-time concept. The series takes guests through Naples from land to sea, market to fire, and finally, night. Natura di Napoli will be available from January 21, 2026, onwards, exclusively at Serious Slice, Cunningham Road, Bengaluru.
