Where exactly is Shimla Brewing Company located in the hill station?
The brew-pub sits on the pedestrian-only stretch of Mall Road, just 90 metres downhill from the Tourism Lift as you walk towards the High Court; the full address is Shimla Brewing Company, Mall Road, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh 171001, India, so it is impossible to miss while exploring the ridge.
How can I reserve a table or ask about the menu before I arrive?
Call the +91 84478 25855 reservation line between 11 a.m. and 10 p.m. and the host will hold a river-view or fireplace table for you, email the current ales list, and confirm any dietary preferences so that the kitchen is ready when you reach the brewery.
What kind of cuisine and house-brewed beers should I expect?
Expect Himalayan-hopped golden ales, apple-cider lagers and coffee stouts brewed on a 5-hL system, paired with wood-fired pizzas, local trout, slow-cooked lamb and vegetarian yak-cheese platters that keep the 4.5-star rating consistent on every review platform.
Is there parking nearby and do they accommodate large groups?
Although Mall Road is closed to private cars, the Willow Banks Hotel (same building) offers valet pick-up from the Cart Road parking lot 300 m below, and the brewing company can seat 40 guests at one long oak table if you book two days in advance through the website https://www.willowbanks.com/brewing-company.php.
