In India, traditional beer has been prepared from rice or millet for thousands of years.

In the 18th century, the British introduced European beer to India.

Beer is not as popular as stronger alcoholic beverages like whiskey.

The most popular beers in India are strong beers.

Punjab is a state in North India, forming part of the larger Punjab region.

The state is bordered by the Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir to the north, Himachal Pradesh to the east, Haryana to the south and southeast, Rajasthan to the southwest, and the Pakistani province of Punjab to the west.

A microbrewery or craft brewery is a brewery that produces small amounts of beer, typically much smaller than large-scale corporate breweries, and is independently owned.

Such breweries are generally characterized by their emphasis on quality, flavor and brewing technique.

A nightclub (or club) is an entertainment venue and bar which serves alcoholic beverages that usually operates late into the night.

A nightclub is generally distinguished from regular bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a stage for live music, one or more dance floor areas and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music and where coloured lights illuminate the dance area.

Another distinction is that whereas many pubs and sports bars aim at a mass market, nightclubs typically aim at a niche market of music and dancing enthusiasts and clubgoers.

The upmarket nature of nightclubs can be seen in the inclusion of VIP areas in some nightclubs, for celebrities and their guests.

Nightclubs are much more likely than pubs or sports bars to use bouncers to screen prospective clubgoers for entry.

Some nightclub bouncers do not admit people with ripped jeans or other informal clothing or gang apparel as part of a dress code.

The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday night.

Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres, such as house music or gothic rock.

A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer.

The place at which beer is commercially made is either called a brewery or a beerhouse, where distinct sets of brewing equipment are called plant.

The commercial brewing of beer has taken place since at least 2500 BC; in ancient Mesopotamia, brewers derived social sanction and divine protection from the goddess Ninkasi.

Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built.
