With three microbreweries open in Mumbai, craft beer seems to be a trending spirit among city's tipplers. "Crafted beer is the new superstar. Once you discover artisanal beer, your culinary experience will transform into a whole new world of fantastic flavours," says Suketu Talekar, co-founder of microbrewery Doolally that will participate in two craft beer festivals taking place in the city this weekend.

The first one will be hosted at High Street Phoenix on Friday, while the second will be at Lower Parel's Aqaba, on Saturday. Aditya Parikh of Aqaba says, "The Craft Beer Festival is our way of getting people to drop by, relax on the lawns and enjoy natural, artisanal beers. It is also a platform to bring more awareness about craft beers to people at large." Keen to try the craft beer but don't know your lager from your ale? the guide presents a checklist before you take your first sip. Cheers!
