Brews, Community, and Nature: Welcome to the GCBC

On a very special day, I happened to go to a very secluded yet wonderful place in Bangalore. Say hello to the first of its kind, Garden City Beer Collective (GCBC), a new microbrewery that reflects the true essence of Bengaluru in almost every way. The entire establishment is an ode to Garden City, not only in terms of flavours, cuisine and cocktail programme, but also in a lung space reminiscent of old Bangalore before it evolved into the vibrant metropolis it is today. Located in Yelahanka on a beautiful 3 acres of land, GCBC aims to create bonds while keeping them natural and friendly, with the aim of bringing people together and exploring and celebrating big events and small joys in the lap of nature, all with equal enthusiasm. Why Garden City Beer Collective (GCBC)? A space that welcomes breweries into a conspiracy, an exploration of beer styles and a tribute to Garden City. The creators of this space took a page from nature and planted a large wild garden with many things growing. GCBC introduces India’s first sushi and dim sum garden and brewery to take root here. Like natural factors, GCBC is a garden of branching paths, where all paths lead to a good time.While the microbrewery is slated to open later this year, the mission of the GCBC  is to create a world-class community for craft beer enthusiasts and ultimately bring exciting collaborations, including newly minted international beer brands. Garden City Beer Collective was created with the ultimate goal of creating an experience for beer lovers where they can sample, taste and learn about beers from different parts of the world. My Cocktail: Gummy Bear Hadu: This place offers a huge variety of cocktails. But I picked something that was delicious and very refreshing. And it came in a coupe with a cherry in cherry! The drink was a grand mix of Gin, Hibiscus Tea, Lemongrass, Cherry Syrup, Grapefruit juice, Lime juice, Sweet Vermouth and Milk. Mocktails: Pina Colada: GCBC has something for everyone! You are not in a mood to have a cocktail, then Mocktail menu is right there. A mix of coconut milk, pineapple juice and lots of ice! The Food: Don’t worry, even the biggest appetites can be satisfied at GCBC. Their extensive menu includes both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, so whether you’re a die-hard vegan or just want a lighter meal, you won’t be left out. For starters, I checked out their delicious selection of starters and opted for the Vegetarian Chilli Corn and Malai Tandoori Paneer. Vegetarian Chilli Corn: The baby corn is fried and deep fried until crunchy on the outside to retain some of the crunchiness. Once cooked, it is tossed into the prepared sauce for a delicious topping. Overall, Chilli Baby Corn is a nice combination of sweet, salty and spicy with a satisfying crunch. Malai Tandoori Paneer: Malai Tandoori Paneer is an Indian vegetarian dish that combines the creamy richness of “malai” (cream) with the smoky flavor of tandoori food. It has fresh cubes of paneer cheese, a soft and fluffy cheese that perfectly absorbs flavors, marinated in a creamy sauce, often made from yogurt or cream, ginger and garlic. Thai Green Curry: I also ordered, Thai green curry! It is a vibrant and delicious dish simmered in fragrant green curry paste. This aromatic paste is usually made with a blend of herbs such as lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf and chili pepper, creating a complex flavour profile with a hint of heat. The curry itself is rich and creamy thanks to the coconut milk and often includes vegetables. It’s a nice balance of sweet, salty and spicy and is usually served with rice for a satisfying and comforting meal. Egg Fried Rice: Egg fried rice was another dish that I ordered. A classic Asian dish featuring fluffy cooked rice stir-fried with scrambled eggs and various other ingredients. It is one of the most versatile dishes that I eat and it is one of the staples I order wherever possible. Hakka Schezwan Noodles: I wanted a slight spice in my lunch menu for the day so I order these slightly spicy noodles. It was a fried noodle that combines the salty and chewy texture of Hakka noodles with the kick of Schezwan sauce. Imagine thin, springy noodles in a brightly colored sauce bursting with bold flavors – spicy, spicy and garlicky. It’s a crowd pleaser with a satisfying balance of texture and flavor profile that will tempt your taste buds. The Ambience, food, drinks everything just made the day a bit more special! Me and my family had a great time at GCBC! The staff’s hospitality was outstanding! My time at GCBC Bangalore will remain untainted and I will be returning for more soon!   Disclaimer: This article/review is a personal opinion and experience of M/s Shravya Yamujala.
