Simba Beer invites craft beer enthusiasts to raise a toast to togetherness, conversation, and the spirit of good times this International Beer Day. As India’s leading craft beer brand, Simba has revolutionized the beer landscape with bold, distinctive brews that cater to a diverse range of tastes. Founded in 2016 in Chhattisgarh, Simba has emerged as a pioneering force in the Indian craft beer scene, offering a variety of exceptional brews, including Simba Stout, Simba Wit, Simba Lager, and Simba Strong. From the refreshing, citrusy Simba Wit to the rich, roasted Simba Stout and the bold, full-bodied Simba Strong, each brew reflects the brand’s commitment to quality and innovation.

"Beer isn’t just a drink; it’s a catalyst for connection, conversation, and celebration. This International Beer Day, let’s toast to the joy of togetherness and great times!" said Ishwaraj Singh Bhatia, COO and Co-Founder of Simba Beer. This vision has been central to Simba since its inception, shaping its journey as it builds a thriving community of craft beer lovers across India. With a passion for pushing creative boundaries, Simba’s brews embody the spirit of exploration, offering unique flavors that resonate with beer enthusiasts.

Beyond brewing, Simba fosters a culture of collaboration and celebration through initiatives like the Simba Uproar festival. This vibrant event showcases underground culture, grassroots talent, and dynamic experiences that bring beer lovers together. This year, the festival introduced FMX (Freestyle Motocross), blending high-energy action with music and craft beer, creating an immersive experience for attendees. Additionally, Simba’s Brew-Off initiative invites independent breweries to collaborate on small-batch experimental brews, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to innovation and community-building.

As Simba continues to expand across India, it remains dedicated to nurturing its beer-loving community while introducing new and exciting brews. Its portfolio of signature beers reflects a diverse range of tastes - Simba Wit, a hazy Belgian-style wheat beer with refreshing citrus notes, subtle lemongrass hints, and a spice kick from coriander seeds; Simba Stout, India’s first bottled stout with smooth coffee, caramel, and dark chocolate flavors; Simba Lager, a well-balanced brew with rich malt flavors and an aromatic finish; and Simba Strong, a bold and robust lager with a crisp mouthfeel and a perfect balance of roasted flavors and mild sweetness.

With a rebellious spirit and an unwavering commitment to quality, Simba Beer continues to redefine India’s craft beer culture. Rooted in creativity and self-expression, the brand goes beyond brewing, supporting underground music, collaborating with artists, and building a strong creative community. As Simba raises a glass to International Beer Day, it invites beer lovers across the country to celebrate not just the drink, but the connections and experiences that come with it.

Delhi’s culinary landscape has welcomed a new and imaginative entrant with the launch of Tubata in Pitampura, introduced by restaurateur Neeraj Aggarwal, over a decade after he unveiled his first venture, Lotus Leaf.

Tubata is not just a restaurant, it has been envisioned as a sensorial playground and a being inspired by the raw forces of nature. According to the release, it is “a mystical creature born from the elements of air, land, and ocean, where bold flavours, evocative design, and elemental spirit come together in perfect balance.”

Sharing his vision, Aggarwal said, “Tubata is not just a restaurant, it’s a feeling. It’s a space to indulge, to celebrate, to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with something primal, something beautiful. It’s refined, imaginative, and unapologetically distinctive.”

Tubata’s identity draws from the harmony of opposing worlds, with its emblem, the leopard, symbolising grace, mastery, and movement. The interiors reflect lush foliage, marine coral, and fluid natural forms, echoing the philosophy that indulgence is not excess, but alignment with nature’s rhythm.

The restaurant’s design presents a mix of unmatched aesthetics, cosy interiors, and a hint of glamour. It takes guests back to an era of good food and good mood, offering a cosmic play of a bespoke global experience. The multi-cuisine menu has been curated by a culinary team driven by curiosity and craft, reimagining familiar flavours while also introducing innovative creations.

Tubata also evolves with time. By day, it offers a soulful, inviting space for relaxed lunches, conversations, or quiet indulgence. By night, the atmosphere shifts as the lights deepen, the drinks flow, and the space transforms into a lively destination filled with rhythm and celebration.

Aggarwal summarised, “With an identity rooted in evolution, transformation, and sensory delight, Tubata is not your regular restaurant, it’s an experience, vibe and memory. With all ingredients amalgamated together, Tubata will surely give you reason to visit again and again.”
