Burma Burma, India’s much-loved Burmese dining destination, is bringing the spirit of Burma’s tea shops to diners with its new limited-edition menu, From Burma, With Tea. Available from September 1 to 30, 2025, across all Burma Burma restaurants pan-India, the promotion is a tribute to the country’s vibrant tea shop culture where steaming cups of milk tea and hearty snacks form the centre of daily life.

At the heart of the menu is the Burmese Milk Tea, a timeless blend of black tea, condensed milk, and evaporated milk, served both hot and iced. Variations include the indulgent Yangon Royal Tea topped with cream, the Creamy Bagan Tea inspired by bustling markets, the Iced Milk Tea crowned with a milk foam cloud, and the refreshing Coconut Iced Tea blended with coconut milk and custard.

To accompany the teas, Burma Burma has crafted an array of flavourful bites and shared plates that echo the energy of Burmese tea shops. Guests can enjoy Chin State Potato Croquettes filled with five-spice mock meat, spicy Corner Cart Skewers, and Cracklin’ Burmese Dumplings stuffed with shiitake and edamame. Fresh options like the Seared Tofu and Avocado Salad add zest, while the Tea Shop Noodle Bowl offers comforting warmth. For dessert, the Tea Shop Toast, honey-glazed bread soaked in custard apple milk with clotted cream, delivers a sweet finale.

Ankit Gupta, Founder of Burma Burma, shared, “Burmese Tea Shops are living, breathing spaces of culture, community, and culinary richness, where friendships brew and stories simmer. This menu is particularly close to my heart, as it recreates those experiences for our diners in a Burma Burma way.”

Curated by Chef Ansab Khan and his team after extensive research and collaboration with tea masters in Burma, the menu captures the layered traditions of Burmese tea culture while offering a contemporary flair.

Rooted in nostalgia yet designed for today’s diners, From Burma, With Tea is more than just a menu, it is an experience of connection, flavour, and the warm hospitality that defines Burma. Guests in Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad can enjoy the promotion throughout September.

Ironhill Brewery Launches Its First Non-Alcoholic Beer, Zero Gravity AF

Ironhill Brewery Launches Its First Non-Alcoholic Beer, Zero Gravity AF

By Hariharan U

Published on September 4, 2025

 Ironhill Brewery, India’s largest microbrewery chain, has unveiled Zero Gravity AF, its first-ever non-alcoholic wheat beer. With this launch, Ironhill takes another bold step in its mission to craft inclusive brews that bring communities together.

Zero Gravity AF is designed to give beer lovers the same rich experience they expect, minus the alcohol. Brewed with precision by Ironhill’s master brewers, the golden wheat beer offers a smooth body with soft, bready undertones. Bright citrus and tropical fruit notes from Citra hops blend seamlessly with the clean bitterness of Magnum hops, resulting in a refreshing and aromatic drink that stays true to the essence of beer.

“Innovation at Ironhill has always been about listening to our community, experimenting with flavors, and creating brews that suit every mood and moment,” said Head Brewer at Ironhill. “Zero Gravity AF is crafted for those who love the beer experience but prefer to go alcohol-free, without compromising on taste.”

What makes Zero Gravity AF unique is its brewing process. While most commercial brewers make beer up to 5% and then dilute it with water to reduce the alcohol level, Ironhill has taken the natural route. Using a special yeast and carefully controlling fermentation, the beer is naturally stopped at 0.5%. The result is a full-bodied brew with the right aroma, texture, and flavour profile — unlike the diluted taste often found in other non-alcoholic beers.

The beer’s name, Zero Gravity AF, was chosen through an Instagram poll, making it a product of both brewing expertise and community spirit.

Perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a casual hangout, pairing with global cuisine, or simply enjoying a refreshing drink on a weekday Zero Gravity AF delivers a crisp, zesty, and sessionable experience.

With this launch, Ironhill Brewery continues to lead India’s craft beer scene, combining innovation, authenticity, and community engagement to create brews that leave a lasting impression.
