The GRID
The Grid is one of Kolkata’s few microbreweries. They have a list of freshly brewed beers. They serve Hefeweizen, Porter, IPA and a Blonde Ale, and even let you sample them before you pick your poison for the night. We recommend Caldera, Stoutware, and Cider in terms of popularity. Because they receive fresh apple pulp directly from Himachal Pradesh, the cider is unique. This has to be a place to celebrate Oktoberfest 2025 in Kolkata.
