If you’re a beer dude or enthusiast and you are seriously into the freshly-brewed variety, you must have heard of or been to THE BREWERY, the biggest on-site microbrewery in the Philippines.
Launched in June last year, The Brewery has been producing beers of different flavors much to the delight of the local market. This hip and happening place also prides itself in its unique dining experience that beer consummates would readily welcome. The microbrewery is a permanent fixture housed on mezzanine floor, and shares a two-level space with a stage for performing bands, a fully-stocked bar and a dining area. Both floors has a mix of homey and industrial feel to it with images of microbrewery scale models on the walls and the actual microbrewery where beers are legendarily brewed.
Aside from beers, The Brewery boasts a delectable menu and live band performances to keep the mood rocking.
“We wanted to showcase the artistry of the beer brewing process and simultaneously be a major force in changing the local dining landscape. It’s a different kid of gastro pub experience,” says Raj Sadhwani, CEO of The Brewery.
Over The Tap!
Starting with four artisanal beers (Pilsner, IPA or Indian Pale Ale, Stout and Wheat) when it opened last year, The Brewery’s beer menu has expanded doze adding variety and excitement to one’s beer connoisseurs.
They now have other flavors using local ingredients (like tamarind and ginger) and others to spice up different seasons of the year. The list includes honey ale, ginger, Marzen (traditional Oktoberfest beer), Smokey Oakey, Santa’s Little Helper (Christmas Bock), Sampaloka, Jasmine Citra Lager, Brewmaster’s Gold, Uptown Ale and Fighting Irish.
In celebration of its 1st year, two new flavors were introduced – Epic IPA and Chokolate Boom. Described as a double IPA that’s out of this world, this beer is brewed with more malt and three kinds of hops (Cascade, Chinook and Williamette) giving this Indian Pale Ale a strong bitter character with citrus and floral hints. Its red copper color makes it a highlight for the eyes as well. 
Raj collaborates with Oliver Ellrotte, The Brewery’s resident beer maestro/brew master in concocting unique beer flavors. Born in Germany, Ellrotte has had extensive experience mastering the art and science of brewing beer in Germany, Thailand, Cambodia, India, China and in Eichof, Switzerland’s biggest brewery.
