When I
received a call inviting us to join the 5th Anniversary celebrations at
Byg Brewski, I readily accepted. Not only because I would have liked to be a
part of their celebration or because Byg Brewski highlighted Hennur on the map
of Bengaluru or because I live in the vicinity. It was because it is a fun place
to visit, their open to the sky ambiance and the grandeur you experience enthralls you. Their
friendly service crew also ensures you keep coming back for more. I firmly believe that this is a destination pub in Bengaluru and we, my wife and I, host our outstation
guests here with pride.

Matka Magic. |
We made our
way to the SYN bar on the upper deck and were welcomed by Arati who offered to and
help us get our first drinks of the evening. We consciously stayed away from
their well-crafted home brewed beers and stayed with whisky based cocktails.

Crown with edible gold dust |
We started with the award winning “Crown”, a whisky based cocktail with edible gold dust. Must have been good as there were several orders of this drink at our table.
I opted for the very popular “Matka Magic”, which is a whisky based cocktail with jalapeno, rosemary, passion fruit and cranberry juice. I personally enjoyed the lingering taste of the jalapeno spice as I sipped the drink through the evening.

Whisky Sour |
We followed this up with Old Fashioned, whose origin dates back to the early 1800’s. The drink is popularly made with Jim Beam, sugar, bitters and garnished with a peel of orange. The Whisky sour was also very popular at the table. It is generally made with whisky, lemon juice, sugar with the option of using egg white as well.
The Byg Brewski famed large ice-cubes stand out in the cocktails. The ice cubes are made with the same water that is used by the brewery for their crafted beers. That probably explains why the cubes are crystal clear. The cubes also have the markings of the Byg Bewrski logo on them.

It was a
fun evening with the weather gods being kind blessing us with awesome weather including a rain free
evening. Unfortunately, we had to live with the live music ban across the pubs and clubs in
the city.
