Bira 91, a leading craft beer company in India, has joined forces with New Belgium Brewing, a prominent craft brewery from the United States, to introduce their latest collaborative masterpiece: "Chutney Sour". This unique beer is a fusion of the lively flavors found in Indian street food and the esteemed craft brewing tradition of Colorado.

Infused with Tamarind, a sour fruit commonly used in Indian cuisine, "Chutney Sour" is crafted based on the classic Dubbel, a Belgian-style ale perfected by the skilled artisans at New Belgium Brewery.

The launch of "Chutney Sour" was a momentous occasion, marked by simultaneous releases in the respective taprooms of both companies – Bengaluru & Delhi-NCR in India for Bira 91, and Fort Collins, Colorado for New Belgium Brewery. This unveiling coincided with the Indian Spring festival of Holi, a vibrant celebration of color and renewal.

Holi's popularity extends beyond India, with cities worldwide hosting diverse festivities such as music festivals, outdoor block parties, color runs, and culinary events.

Ankur Jain, the visionary Founder and CEO of Bira 91, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the innovative spirit of Colorado's beer scene and New Belgium's esteemed reputation. Shaun Belongie, CEO of New Belgium, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the opportunity to explore novel flavor combinations through collaborations.

"Chutney Sour" is a limited release, exclusively available in the taprooms of Bira 91 and New Belgium until stocks last. Its tasting notes promise a flavorful experience, blending the rich, malty, and spicy attributes of a Belgian Ale with the tangy-sour essence of tamarind. The aroma is described as a delightful combination of toast, fig, raisin, and dark fruit, enhanced by the pleasant tartness of tamarind.

This collaboration celebrates not only the craft of brewing but also embodies the spirit of exploration and innovation. It exemplifies the endless possibilities that arise when cultures converge and creativity thrives.
