Chennai's craft beer scene

Chennai has a small but serious microbrewery culture — proper brewers, in-house beers, small-batch experimentation. The list below is filtered to operations brewing on premises (not just selling craft beer from elsewhere) with at least 4–6 house beers on tap at any time.

Food and tasting flights

Most Chennai breweries offer tasting flights of 4 beers (typically ₹350–₹500) — the right starting point. Food is usually pub-style with attempts at beer pairings (some more credible than others). The list below flags the ones where the kitchen actually matches the beer.

When to go

Weekday evenings 6–10 PM are the brewer's-favourite hours — quieter, taproom often staffed by the brewer who'll talk you through the beers. Weekend afternoons fill up with larger groups; brewer access is minimal. Most have weekly new-tap days — ask when you book.
