Our dream has always been to craft beers that redefine India’s drinking experience, and wins like these reassure us that we’re on the right path,” said Abhinav Jindal, Founder & CEO of Kimaya Himalayan Beverages.

BeeYoung Beyond, India’s first International Style Crafted Pilsner, showcases innovation with Smoked Belgian Speciality Malt and Doon Basmati Rice from Uttarakhand, offering an earthy, spicy, and floral taste with a smooth finish. Meanwhile, BeeYoung Crafted Strong Beer continues to win loyal fans with its refreshing citrus notes, silky texture, and consistent quality, standing apart from conventional strong lagers in the market.

This September, QLA debuts a refined dining experience with the launch of its Pizza & Wine Pairing menu. Designed as a seasonal showcase, the menu pairs artisanal pizzas with carefully selected wines, transforming a classic combination into an elevated culinary journey.

Developed by Chef Dipender Tiwari in collaboration with QLA’s sommeliers, each pairing is crafted to highlight balance, character, and flavour. The parma ham + burrata pairs with Piccini Merlot to offset its richness, while the wild garden + truffle finds harmony with Gatao Rosé. For indulgence, the zucchini + ricotta matches with Gatao White Wine, delivering a delicate blend of elegance and freshness. With vegetarian choices, gluten-free bases, and vegan-friendly toppings, the menu ensures inclusivity without compromising sophistication.

Set against the iconic Qutab Minar, QLA has established itself as one of Delhi’s most distinctive European dining destinations, blending French, Italian, and Spanish influences. The new Pizza & Wine Pairing menu reflects this philosophy, taking timeless European traditions and reinterpreting them with modern creativity.

Beyond the food, the atmosphere completes the experience. Candlelit interiors, warm wood accents, lounge music, and live weekend performances ensure every detail enriches the evening.

Commenting on the launch, Chef Dipender Tiwari, Director, Culinary & Dining, QLA, said, “At QLA, we see dining as an art form. With the Pizza & Wine Festival, we’ve transformed a classic pairing into a refined experience, where every flavour finds its perfect harmony in the glass”.
