Bira’s the cool kid of Indian beers—waltzing into the scene back in 2015 and flipping the script on what everyone thought “desi” beer could be. You’ve got the funky monkey branding, cheeky ads, and honestly, flavours that don’t taste like someone just dumped water in Kingfisher.

Especially in a city like Mumbai, where everyone’s always chasing the next big thing (or at least the next cold pint), Bira’s kinda everywhere. Whether you’re a broke college kid or someone who pretends to know beer “notes,” chances are you’ve grabbed a Bira at some point—either at a bar in Bandra or during a house party where someone inevitably tries to play bartender.

So, what’s actually on tap? Mumbai’s Bira line-up usually looks like this:

• Bira 91 White (Wheat Ale): Cloudy, citrusy, the go-to if you wanna look fancy without actually knowing beer.
• Bira 91 Blonde (Lager): Hoppier, a bit more bite. People who order this will insist it’s “full-bodied.”
• Bira 91 Light: For those watching calories but not ready to give up on their social life.
• Bira 91 Strong: Because sometimes you need your beer to do something.
• Limited Editions: The “oh, I haven’t seen this before” stuff—usually snapped up by FOMO-fueled drinkers.

Now, let’s talk money, because yeah, that’s important. Mumbai isn’t exactly known for being cheap, but Bira’s prices are kinda reasonable (for craft beer, anyway):

• Bira 91 White (330ml bottle): ₹160–₹180
• Bira 91 Blonde (330ml bottle): ₹150–₹170
• Bira 91 Strong (500ml can): ₹180–₹200
• Bira 91 Light (330ml bottle): ₹130–₹150
• Bira White (650ml bottle): ₹240–₹270
• Combo Packs (4 or 6 cans): ₹600–₹900 (depends if you’re feeling lucky or just want to get through the week)

Don’t freak out if you see different prices—bars love to slap on their markup, and sometimes there’s a random “tax” because of Mumbai.

Where do you score these? Everywhere. Local wine shops, big supermarkets like Nature’s Basket or Reliance, and if you’re too lazy to step out, there’s a bunch of delivery apps (when the law allows—thanks, Maharashtra). Bars, restaurants, even those rooftop spots with fairy lights—they’ve all got Bira stashed somewhere.

Well, it’s not just the taste (though that helps). It’s local, it’s got style, and it’s perfect for those “let’s just chill” evenings. Doesn’t matter if you’re at a posh bistro or a plastic chair by Juhu Beach, Bira fits right in. Plus, there’s that tiny bit of pride, knowing you’re sipping on something homegrown and not just another imported label.

Long story short: If you’re in Mumbai in 2025 and still haven’t tried Bira, are you even living?
