Maize & Malt is bringing together India's rich pork traditions and craft beer with Pork & Pints, a month-long culinary festival running throughout August 2026.

The festival brings eight pork preparations from different parts of India onto one menu, giving food lovers an opportunity to explore the distinct flavours and cooking traditions associated with each region.

The menu features pork specialties from Kodagu, Malnad, Kerala, Goa, Mangaluru, Nagaland, Assam, along with dishes from the Anglo-Indian culinary tradition. Each preparation is made with regional ingredients and traditional cooking techniques, keeping the recipes close to their original flavours and culinary roots.

Adding to the experience, every pork dish comes with a carefully selected craft beer pairing from Maize & Malt. The combinations are designed to bring together the flavours of the food and the beer while offering guests a balanced food and beer experience.

The festival's highlights include Kodava Pandi Fry, Malnad Pepper Pork Fry, Kerala Pork Ularthiyathu, Goan Pork Cafreal, Mangalorean Pork Bafat Fry, Naga Smoked Pork with Bamboo Shoot, Assamese Til Pork, and Anglo-Indian Devilled Pork. Each preparation is accompanied by a recommended beer pairing chosen to complement its flavour profile.

Rather than giving traditional dishes a modern reinterpretation, Pork & Pints focuses on regional authenticity. The festival takes guests through different pork traditions across India while also highlighting the range of flavours that can be paired with craft beer. The festival will be available exclusively at Maize & Malt throughout August.
