Short Takes: Two new beers at Brewbot, and the return of Alfie

The Alfie is White Owl’s mango-infused ale

Mumbai’s White Owl generally does a good job of their beers, and one of the best this summer was Alfie, the mango-infused ale. And, if you feeling like some more of it, you are in for a pleasant surprise. White Owl would like you to know that they’ve got stock of the Alfie, and it will be available until Sunday, September 10.

Brewbot’s new beers include an apple cider and an India Pale Ale

Meanwhile, fans of Brewbot, in Andheri, Mumbai, can look forward to two new beers. The microbrewery has just launched its first apple cider. The Outcider is a nice, not-too-sweet drink, and there’s also a pleasantly hoppy Indian Pale Ale called the Mystery Pale Ale. G-01 & 101, Morya Landmark 1, Off New Link Road, Andheri West; P: 3969 8091
