3. Brew-pub &Microbrewery
A brewpub combines the efforts of a microbrewery or craft brewery with the concept of a
traditional English pub or "public house." Brewmasters work within the confines of a pub-style
restaurant in order to provide customers with unique beers on tap. Restaurant owners provide
traditional beer or regional favorites to accompany the beer samplings.
It can be challenging to distinguish a true brewpub from a local microbrewery, but many times
the name of the establishment will provide clues. A typical brewpub might call itself "John
Barleycorn's" or "Hopper's Pub," or else it will advertise itself directly as "Maggie's Olde Towne
Brew Pub." Local microbreweries may also offer pub grub or a limited food menu, or they may
simply lease space to a separate restaurant operation.
Microbreweries are small producers of beer that serve local or regional markets, Brewpubs are
a natural progression of microbreweries. Selling only their own brewed beer, the first to open
in USA was in an Opera house in Yakima, Washington in 1982. The most famous brewpub and
microbrewery is Redhook Ale and was opened in an old trolley barn by a former Starbucks
executive and a winemaker.
4. • Since 2005 the initiative towards setting up India’s first
microbrewery/Brewpub was seen in different states,
thought the first state to come out with any policy was
Kerla but eventually the first microbrewery came up in
Pune, in 2007 named ‘Martin Judds Microbrewery’, and
the first Brewpub named ‘Howzzat’ in Gurgaon. At
present there are almost 13 brewpubs operational in
India, and new projects are always on discussion in new
cities like Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, Mumbai and Goa
etc. However Haryana & Maharashtra being the first two
states to develop a functional excise and licensing rules
for Microbreweries/Brewpubs, other states are also
catching up fast, however the excise since governed
individually by different states the policy could however
change from city to city.

8. Basic Brewing Process .
The brewing process according to the German Purity Law ( Deutsches
Reinheitsgebot ) from year 1516:
( Deviations from the German purity law are of course possible and
will be applied according to local requirements )
1. Water + Malt + Hops + Heating energy = Wort
In the Brew-House vessels pure brewing water and light / dark malt
are mixed together to give the mash. In several temperature steps
this mash is heated-up and finally lautered (filtered). The result is
sugar-containing “wort”, a sweet juice which is cooked together with
hops to give the necessary bitternes and aroma. This first part takes
approx. 7-8 hours.
2. Wort + Yeast + Cooling energy = Beer
In the fermenting tanks brewer´s yeast (top-or bottom-fermenting
depending on kind of beer ) is added to the cooled wort. Sugar is
converted into both alcohol and CO2 ( carbonic acid ). After the
ripening process at low temperatures and high pressure the typical
taste of beer is developed. Within approx. 2-3 weeks from the begin
of brewing the beer is ready to be served.
10. Kinds of beer
• However it is not possible to create 100% copies of existing
beers ( because of certain deviations like water, raw
materials, filtering, pasteurization etc. ).
• A pub brewery invites to create and produce its own unique
taste, adapted to the customer's wishes.
• Later you may develop you own beers.
• Storability of unfiltered beers at 6°C - several months. For
filtered beer somewhat less.
• Low alcohol beers are not really recommendable for a micro
brewery - the usual alcohol content of 4-5% is an additional
safety for good storability. Stronger beers can be easily
produced.
Alcohol-free beer cannot be produced in a small scale in a
feasible way - as per today's technical possibilities.
11. With the help of our recipes you may brew almost
any kind of beer you wish.
12. Excise, License, tax, duty & other legalExcise, License, tax, duty & other legal
requirementsrequirements
• Up till now only we have 7 Indian states with complete excise policy, but
Maharashtra, Haryana were the first ones in this field followed by WB,
Punjab, Karnataka, Goa and Uttrakhand.
– Excise policies deal with any kind of narcotics or intoxicants in
alcohol/liquor industry, for which they levy taxes on the production based
on fixed set of standards and guidelines. Generally this is done on per bulk
liter for packaged beer in cartons and for microbreweries where there is
no packaging involved, this taxes are put over the weekly or monthly
production and also depends on the ABV, which is fixed for a tax rate and
goes up with increase in ABV, but generally ABV in beers in
microbreweries is not allowed over 8%.
– A microbrewery/brewpub license is issued by the state excise
government, allowing the company to start operations in its
microbrewery for commercial use. The price for this license was similar to
the normal commercial large scale breweries which was over Rs. 10 lacs/
year, however due to recent developments it has gone to as much as Rs.
25,000/ year. But this figures may vary from state to state, because the
excise regulations are state regulated and not centralized.
– A separate bar license need to be applied for the pub in premises, and
needs to be applied separately so that it follows state regulations.
