Best Beer in Udaipur: Craft Beer at Rhythm & Brews

For the best beer in Udaipur, look for beer that is brewed and poured on the same premises. At Rhythm & Brews, the in-house craft brewery at The Qualia Resort Club & Brewery in Debari, a rotating line-up of four to six handcrafted styles goes from the tanks to your glass, daily from 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

The resort describes Rhythm & Brews as Udaipur's first in-house craft brewery. It is open to outside guests as well as resort guests, with walk-ins welcome and reservations recommended at weekends. Here is what makes fresh craft beer different, how to find your style and how to make an afternoon or evening of it.

What Makes Fresh Craft Beer Different

Most beer travels a long way before it reaches you. It is packaged, shipped, stored and chilled, sometimes for weeks. Craft beer brewed on site skips that journey entirely.

At Rhythm & Brews, the beer is brewed and poured just metres apart. That means you taste it tank-fresh, the way the brewer intended, with aromas and flavours at their brightest.

Craft brewing is also about variety. Instead of a single house lager, a craft brewery rotates its styles, so there is usually something new to try on your next visit. Find outwhat goes into the best beer in Udaipur, from grain to glass, on the resort's craft beer page.

A Beginner's Guide to Craft Beer Styles

If you are new tocraft beer in Udaipur, the names on a tap list can feel confusing. Most beers fall into a handful of broad families. Here is a simple guide to what each generally tastes like.

Lager

Lagers are usually light, crisp and clean, with a smooth finish. They are the most familiar style for many beer drinkers and pair easily with almost any food. If you are unsure where to start, a lager-style beer is a safe first pour.

Wheat beer

Wheat beers are brewed with a good share of wheat, which gives them a soft, hazy look and a gentle, rounded body. Many have fruity or lightly spiced notes. They are refreshing on a warm Udaipur afternoon.

Ale

Ales cover a wide range, from easy-drinking pale ales to bolder, hop-forward beers. Expect more fruit and aroma than a lager, with flavours that can lean citrusy, floral or gently bitter. They are a good step up once you know you enjoy beer.

Stout and other dark beers

Stouts and dark beers get their colour from roasted malts. They tend to taste of coffee, cocoa or caramel, with a fuller body. Despite the dark colour, they are not always heavy, and they suit cooler winter evenings.

What is pouring at Rhythm & Brews?

The on-tap line-up at Rhythm & Brews rotates, typically with four to six handcrafted styles at a time. The best way to choose is to ask the team what is pouring on the day and tell them what you usually enjoy. They will point you towards a beer that suits your taste.

Food Pairing: Craft Beer and Shareable Plates

Rhythm & Brews serves multi-cuisine shareable plates, with Indian, Continental and global flavours and vegetarian options throughout. A few simple pairing ideas can make the beer and food both taste better:

• Light, crisp beerssuit fried snacks, salads and lightly spiced dishes. They refresh the palate between bites.
• Wheat beerswork well with citrusy flavours, fresh herbs and paneer or chicken starters.
• Hoppier alesstand up to bold Indian spices and grilled dishes.
• Dark beerspair well with smoky, roasted flavours and even desserts.

Ordering a few plates for the table and trying different beers side by side is the most enjoyable way to explore.
