Three days of beer, culture, conversation and a chance to win a trip to Vietnam
Great State Aleworks, in association with Malaka Spice, returns with Deep Dive 7.0, the seventh edition of one of India’s most thoughtfully curated craft beer and culture festivals. Scheduled from 23rd to 25th January 2026 at Malaka Spice, Koregaon Park, the three-day festival brings together beer lovers, brewers, hospitality professionals, and curious drinkers for an immersive experience that goes far beyond the pint.
Over the years, Deep Dive has evolved into a platform celebrating not just beer, but the people, stories, and communities behind it. This edition will showcase 50+ beers from 25+ breweries, including an international brewery launch, collaborative brews, guided tastings, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive formats that explore Maharashtra’s evolving craft beer landscape.
A key highlight of Deep Dive 7.0 is its knowledge-led programming, developed in collaboration with Beer Asia, featuring expert-led workshops and panel discussions aimed at making beer more accessible and culturally relevant.
Adding an international dimension to the festival is the participation of globally acclaimed Vietnamese craft brewery Heart of Darkness, marking a meaningful cross-border exchange within the global craft beer ecosystem. The collaboration reflects Great State Aleworks’ commitment to cultural and brewing partnerships, while aligning with Malaka Spice’s philosophy of community-building, conscious sourcing, and celebrating regional and global food cultures.
“Each edition of Deep Dive has grown with its community,” said Nakul, Founder of Great State Aleworks. “This year, we’ve added greater depth through education, storytelling, and wider perspectives, while staying true to the joy of discovering good beer together.”
Ilvika Chandawarkar, Research and Business Development Manager at Malaka Spice, added, “Deep Dive fosters a strong sense of community and shared passion for beer, which resonates deeply with what we believe in—bringing people together over meaningful food and drink experiences.”
Beyond tastings, Deep Dive 7.0 expands into a festival-style experience with interactive games, social spaces, merchandise, and conversations around beer culture. Adding to the excitement, attendees also stand a chance to win an exclusive trip to Vietnam.
Set against the warm and welcoming backdrop of Malaka Spice, Deep Dive 7.0 invites Pune to come together, raise a glass, and dive deep into the world of craft beer.
