Byg Brewski, Sarjapur Road Reopend from Sunday, the 2nd February


Brew lovers of Bengaluru, and Sarjapur in particular, will be delighted to hear that the Byg Brewski Brewing Company opened its doors again from Sunday the 2nd of February, 2020.
We were closed down by the BBMP on the 24th of December, on grounds of allegedly disturbing residents due to noise pollution and the haphazard parking of patrons. We are deeply aggrieved as this was done without following due process and even giving us a hearing. Coming as it did at the absolute peak earning season of the year, this has been a hard (and unfair) blow to us. The matter was referred to court and has been under consideration since.
On the 27th of January, we are happy to report that the High Court recognised that Byg Brewski was closed by the BBMP without following due process and directed it (the BBMP) to unlock the premises immediately so we could re-open immediately. It recognised that we are in possession of a legitimate and valid trade licence, are not in violation of any laws, and have the right to continue doing business.
Although the order was granted on Monday the 27th, we are deeply aggrieved to report that the locks were not opened until Friday the 31st, causing even greater loss of business than already incurred.
The High Court has also clearly mandated that should the BBMP in future wish to take any action, it must be done by ‘adhering to strict procedure’ and give us notice first, followed by a hearing and adjudication before proceeding. This was a process which was denied to us, causing us immense hardship and untold loss. 
The court in its judgement observed that Byg Brewski is to be sensitive to neighbourhood residents and not inconvenience them in any way by way of noise pollution or haphazard parking and that we are to ensure CCTV footage for the purposes of security and evidence. We would like to reiterate that Byg Brewski is a responsible establishment and we do our best to ensure our neighbours are not inconvenienced. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that our music and ambient sound levels have strictly stayed within prescribed decibel limits. We have dedicated parking for 200 cars and a large and efficient valet service to ensure there is no bottleneck. CCTVs have been par for the course ever since our inception and we are already in complete compliance with everything the court recommended.
We are now prepared and are reopen to the public on the Sunday the 2nd of February. We are delighted to welcome all our patrons back.
