About Us
DRIFTERS BREWING COMPANY
Drifters Brewing Company was born out of the need to bring Eastern European handcrafted beers to the city. Our journey led us to name the venture Drifters Brewing Company which encapsulates everything the name stands for and more.
The processes used to create the beer are centuries old which have been passed down by the Czech through generations. There is lesser use of machinery and tasks, like picking barley husks manually among others. These are few things that go a long way in changing around the taste of the beers for the better.
When we were in the planning phase of our business we, along with our brew master, traveled across the country and visited all the major cities like Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai, Gurugram to understand the palate of Indian consumers and the kind of unparalleled quality we were required to bring in. We then selected malt and hops from the Czech Republic as per our research and designed recipes in a way that Indian consumers would appreciate it. We wanted to have the potential to expand within all of Maharashtra and, eventually, across India which is why we have an extensive variety of brews that we serve.
