Bira 91 Limited Release: Strawberry Cream Ale 

In time for the season of love, Bira 91, the world’s fastest-growing premium beer brand, and Tinder, the world’s most popular app for meeting new people, have come together to launch ’Strawberry Cream Ale’ – a Valentine’s Day special limited-release beer.

This unique deep gold-hued beer boasts a delicate malty aroma and a creamy, sweet texture that finishes smooth and clean. Infused with fresh strawberry puree, the bright fruity notes enhance the aroma and flavour, making it the ideal choice to raise a glass and toast to the special occasion of Valentine’s Day. The beer is now exclusively available at Bira 91 Taprooms in Koramangala and The Bengaluru International Airport, India starting February 13, 2023, until stocks last.

Sweetie Pie, A Collab Between Seven Rivers Brewing Company & Lavonne Cafe

With an ABV of 6.2-6.4% and 25 IBU, Sweetie Pie is a special brew that uses white stout as a base style with a hearty infusion of raspberries and toasted hazelnut. This is a medium to heavy-bodied brew with a pinkish hue, a perfect appearance to celebrate the season of love. Hints of raspberries and biscuity notes from the malt interact together to create this brew while the nose offers a pleasant whiff of toasted hazelnuts.

This style was first conceptualised at Seven Rivers Brewing Company, Taj, MG Road, Bengaluru in 2021, for valentine’s with their friends from Lavonne. The idea behind this brew was to recreate the sweetie pie that Lavonne carries as their valentine’s special in form of a pleasant brew. The aim was to not only recreate the actual notes but also to provide the customers with a beer that appeals to their olfactory senses and thus makes it a style that’s hard not to love. It quickly became a crowd-pleaser and was revived and perfected again this year on popular demand.
