This Brewery Tour Bus from Chennai to Puducherry promises unlimited beer, but there is a catch
Earlier the bus was called 'beer bus', but it led to confusions that beer will be served on the bus. So, now the company has renamed it Brewery Tour Bus.
As most of the country is reeling with soaring temperatures, a microbrewery in Puducherry has come up with an exciting venture. Catamaran Brewing Co, Puducherry's first microbrewery, has come up with the concept of a Brewery Tour Bus
Not only people will get unlimited chilled craft beer at the the brewery for 2 hours, but they will also get a round trip to Puducherry from Chennai.
Starting from April 22, the microbrewery will provide you a Chennai-Puducherry-Chennai trip with a 3-course meal, unlimited craft beer for two hours, and a tour of the microbrewery in the Union Territory for Rs 3,000.
But, there is a catch
Earlier the bus was called 'beer bus', but it led to confusions that beer will be served on the bus. So, now the company has renamed it Brewery Tour Bus, Prakash Dharmaraju, a Manager at the company told dailyO.
You won't be allowed to drink beer inside the bus, because it is illegal to do so.
The company said that the bus journey will keep people entertained with pop quizzes about beer, karaoke sessions, and snacks.
So, no beer on the bus...what else is the company providing?
Catamaran Brewing said the bus will depart from Chennai and bring guests to Puducherry, show them around the Union Territory, before hosting them at the brewery. They will be given a tour of the brewery, with a demo of how beer is made etc.
After the tour, the guests will be served lunch and will also be served unlimited craft beer for two hours. "They will be given eight types of craft beers including tropical wheat beer, English India Pale Ale, strawberry cider, apple cider, dark lager and rice lager or seeragasamba rice beer," Prakash Dharmaraju said.
