Ironhill India and SMOOR have come together for a unique collaboration that brings craft beer and artisanal chocolate into one experience. The partnership introduces a curated range of pairings designed to offer a more refined and immersive way to enjoy two well-loved indulgences.
At the centre of this collaboration is the idea of balancing flavours, where the depth of craft beer meets the richness of chocolate. By combining the two, the brands aim to create a tasting experience that moves between bitterness and sweetness, while adding layers of flavour with every sip and bite. Both beer and chocolate share a similar foundation, from fermentation-led processes to complex flavour profiles, making this pairing feel both natural and elevated.
The special menu is being introduced across Ironhill breweries and SMOOR outlets, featuring combinations that are carefully designed to complement each other. From dark chocolate paired with the roasted notes of a stout to milk chocolate enhancing the citrus tones of a wheat beer, each pairing brings out distinct characteristics. The experience also includes a range of indulgent chocolate bars, adding more variety to the offering.
The limited-edition menu has been developed through a structured approach, focusing on balance, contrast, and depth. Elements such as roasted malts, hops, and fermentation notes are matched with the nuances of single-origin cocoa and handcrafted pralines. The result is a tasting journey that feels both indulgent and thoughtfully put together.
Commenting on the collaboration, Vimal Sharma, Founder – SMOOR said, “Chocolate, much like craft beer, is deeply nuanced. It is about origin, process, and the subtle layering of flavours. Together, we’ve created pairings that go beyond indulgence where they invite consumers to slow down, explore, and truly experience flavour in a new way. It’s a meeting of two crafts, brought together with intention and creativity.”
Beyond the menu, the collaboration reflects a larger shift in the hospitality and alcobev space, where diners are increasingly looking for experience-led formats. Concepts that bring together storytelling, craftsmanship, and sensory engagement are becoming more popular across urban markets.
“At Ironhill, we are constantly looking at ways to evolve the craft beer experience beyond the glass. This collaboration with SMOOR was initiated with the idea of introducing a new dimension to how our consumers engage with flavour. Chocolate pairing allows us to spotlight the depth and complexity of our brews in a way that feels both indulgent and educational. As a brand, we see this as an opportunity to redefine the role of craft beer within the larger lifestyle and dining ecosystem,” said Vidhatha Annamaneni, Co-Founder - Ironhill India.
The collaboration also highlights Ironhill’s focus on creating large-format, experience-led spaces, while for SMOOR, it marks a step towards presenting chocolate in a more layered and interactive format. Together, the brands bring craftsmanship and creativity into one platform, offering a fresh perspective on how food and beverage pairings can be experienced.
Available across all Ironhill outlets, the menu features offerings such as the Ironhill Smoor Cocoa Stout, a rich brew with deep cocoa notes, along with chocolate-forward cocktails like The Silk Route, Salted Cacao, and Tropical Ganache. The dessert selection includes Chocolate Marquise, Blondie, and more, all designed to complement the beer pairings.
At SMOOR outlets, the collaboration introduces the SMOOR x Ironhill Orange Hops 70% Dark, adding a distinct flavour to the chocolate range. The experience is open to both seasoned enthusiasts and new-age consumers looking to explore something different.

The newly launched menu celebrates the depth and diversity of Indian cuisine through a carefully curated selection of tandoori dishes, classic curries, comforting homestyle preparations, and aromatic biryanis, designed to appeal to both traditional diners and modern global palates.
One of the standout highlights of the menu is the Tandoori Salmon, where salmon fillets are marinated with yogurt, lime, and house-ground spices before being cooked in the tandoor, offering a refined seafood interpretation of traditional Indian grilling techniques. The popular Tandoori Chicken also remains a key feature, prepared with cream, herbs, and spices before being charred to perfection.
The “Classics” section of the menu pays tribute to iconic Indian dishes with preparations such as Tikka Masala, Korma, Saag, Rogan Josh, Madras, Vindaloo, Jalfrezi, and traditional Curry, each crafted using balanced spice blends and authentic cooking methods.
Chef Gurneet Singh has also introduced a range of house specialties that blend comfort with indulgence. Signature dishes include the much-loved Butter Chicken served in a rich tomato-butter gravy, Loaded Tikka Fries topped with paneer or chicken, mozzarella cheese, and tikka masala sauce, along with the flavourful Paneer Butter Masala prepared using house spice blends and tandoor cooking techniques.
Adding a nostalgic touch to the dining experience, the “Mom’s Specials” section features comforting dishes inspired by Indian home kitchens, including Malai Kofta, Chana Masala, Daal Tadka, and Aloo Gobi, celebrating traditional regional cooking styles and familiar flavours.
The biryani selection forms another major highlight of the menu, featuring Vegetable Biryani, Chicken Biryani, Lamb Biryani, Shrimp Biryani, and the indulgent House Biryani layered with chicken, lamb, shrimp, fragrant basmati rice, herbs, and aromatic spices.
Speaking about the launch, Chef Gurneet Singh shared, “This menu reflects our vision of presenting Indian cuisine in a way that feels both authentic and contemporary. We wanted to preserve the soul of traditional Indian cooking while introducing creative elements and elevated flavours that resonate with today’s diners.”
With its refreshed culinary direction, BarNaan Brookfield continues to strengthen its position as a destination for modern Indian dining, combining tradition, innovation, and warm hospitality in a contemporary setting
