Geist Spirit

Geist craft beer isn’t just a combination of ingredients. That glass of golden goodness that you hold is the end result of experienced beer brewing skills combined with fanatic attention to detail and quality. Our collective beer tasting and brewing experience from across the world empowers us with the knowledge and passion required to produce craft beer for our fellow countrymen and women.

We are the first craft beer brand in South India to receive a factory outlet licence to offer takeaway of fresh craft beer in 2L Geist Growlers from our flagship beer garden – Geist Brewing Co. OMR in Bangalore.

We are the first craft beer brand in South India to supply kegs of fresh craft beer to restaurants, bars, pubs, hotels & events across Bangalore & Hyderabad.

We are the first craft beer brand in South India to manufacture, package and distribute our fresh craft beer in 500 ML Geist Crowlers that are available for sale at retail partner locations across Bangalore.

At the end of the day, we love being able to sit down and drink a glass or two (or three) of good beer, and we do everything in our power to make that happen. We hate watered-down, sub-standard beer more than anything else in this world! From the first test batches brewed in 2005 in our little basement setup to the stuff that we brew today in our 10,000 sq. ft factory – our world domination weapon of choice has always been good beer. That’s why we’ve made significant investments in key areas of brewing & production to ensure that our beer remains fresh right until you take your first sip.

Yeast has a huge influence on taste. Understanding and managing yeast is key to producing great beers. Our yeast lab ensures that we keep all our house strains happy and smiling. Happy yeasts make great beer

We’re deeply committed to ensuring our beer remains fresh right until you take your first sip. Our beer is made, stored, transported and served at the optimum temperature via an end-to-end cold chain, so that you get the best craft beer experience, every single time. For us, Cold is Gold!

We are a (near) Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) brewery. 100% of the rainwater is harvested, effluents from the brewery are processed in an STP and converted into water that is used for cleaning dishes in the kitchen, providing water for our cooling tower & flushing our toilets.

All our malts come from international artisanal maltsters who are as passionate about their products as we are about our beer. They use heritage malting techniques and modern technology to provide us with the best, most consistent malts.
