Bengaluru witnessed a first-of-its-kind dining experience as Ironhill India, the world’s largest microbrewery chain, unveiled the debut edition of its signature concept, The Alchemy Table at Ironhill Marathahalli.

Designed for an intimate gathering of food lovers, influencers, and beer enthusiasts, the evening blended storytelling, craft brews, and chef-curated pairings into an immersive culinary journey.

An Evening of Culinary Storytelling

Led by Chef Syamal Raju Annamneedi, Corporate Chef at Ironhill India, and Soundera Rajan, Corporate Brewmaster, guests were guided through a sensory exploration of flavors, aromas, and brewing processes.

Ironhill’s signature brews, including previews of upcoming creations, were paired with bite-sized, flavorful dishes spanning starters, mains, and desserts. Each pairing was designed to enhance the umami effect, creating indulgent, memorable bites.

The evening also included an exclusive brewery tour, where the brewmaster explained ingredient selection, brewing techniques, and the delicate balance between food and beer. The interactive session sparked conversations, laughter, and genuine curiosity, transforming dinner into a theatre of flavors.

The Vision Behind The Alchemy Table

Inspired by mythology and the idea of alchemy, the concept celebrates transformation, turning simple ingredients into extraordinary experiences. The décor reflected this ethos, with gold accents, glowing candles, floral arrangements, celestial motifs, and curated hops displays that filled the air with fragrance and story.

Teja Chekuri, Managing Partner of Ironhill India, shared:

“With The Alchemy Table, our vision is to go beyond dining and create an immersive experience where every dish is thoughtfully paired, every pint reflects innovation, and every interaction deepens appreciation for the craft. The response has been incredible, and we look forward to curating this experience month after month.”

What’s Next

After the overwhelming success of its debut, The Alchemy Table will return on September 20th and 21st, 2025, at Ironhill Marathahalli and Ironhill Kanakapura. Guests can expect fresh brews, a newly crafted menu, inventive pairings, and the same captivating storytelling that defines Ironhill India’s philosophy.

From engaging Q&A sessions to shared laughter over experimental flavors, the launch edition proved one thing, Ironhill India is redefining how Bengaluru experiences craft beer and fine dining.

CYK Hospitalities, one of India’s leading food and beverage consultancies, has announced the expansion of its services in Bengaluru. This step further strengthens its presence in South India and reflects its mission to deliver complete solutions for the F&B industry. With this expansion, the company aims to offer the same comprehensive one-stop expertise that has shaped the success of many F&B projects across the country.

Though CYK has previously partnered with brands in Bengaluru, this move marks a more permanent presence in the city. It reflects the company’s vision of going beyond consultancy, helping brands to conceptualize, develop, and sustain restaurants, cafes, quick service restaurants (QSRs), and bars nationwide. Bengaluru, with its vibrant mix of technology and culture, aligns perfectly with CYK’s approach of regionalizing culinary ideas while maintaining global standards.

Sharing his thoughts on the expansion, Pulkit Arora, Director of CYK Hospitalities, said, “Bengaluru is the heart of modern dining culture in India. Our increased presence here means we can now better serve, act faster, and design immersive experiences for brands and audiences. Having a direct presence here would officially position us to deliver a stronger impact, building on what we have previously done in partnership.”

Simran Jeet Singh, Director of CYK Hospitalities, added, “This expansion is about deepening our capabilities, not just extending our geographical reach. It’s about fortifying our ability to provide sharper strategies, optimal spaces, and sustainable growth models for brands aiming to distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive F&B landscape.”

Over the past decade, CYK Hospitalities has emerged as a leader in F&B innovation, focusing on concept creation, menu development, brand identity, and expansion strategies. With Bengaluru now serving as a new hub of operations, the company is well-positioned to continue shaping the future of food and beverage in India while offering tailored strategies for sustainable growth.
