In a first-of-its-kind moment for the craft beer world, Red Rhino Craft Brewery (India) and Samsaric Brewing (USA) have announced a simultaneous global release of their collaborative brew — Kamasutra Passionfruit WitBier — launching on tap across both continents on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at the exact same hour.

This historic cross-border collaboration merges Indian creativity and American innovation to craft a Belgian-style Witbier that's as meaningful as it is flavourful. Brewed with a 4.95% ABV, Kamasutra Passionfruit WitBier balances classic Belgian wheat beer elements like aromatic spices and European hops with a refreshing burst of tropical passionfruit, inspired by Indian taste profiles.

“We've created something that truly represents the best of both our worlds,” said Nikhil Chavan, Head of Brewing Operations at Red Rhino. “European brewing traditions meet Indian flavor inspiration and sustainable American practices.”

“On June 11, 2011, I dreamed of drinking a beer I made in India. Today, it’s a reality,” shared Bobby Chacko, CEO and Founder of Samsaric Brewing.

Crafted Across Continents

The beer is being brewed in tandem at Red Rhino’s Bangalore and Hyderabad breweries and Samsaric’s facilities in Bensalem, Pennsylvania and Itasca, Illinois, maintaining identical quality and character on both sides of the world.

Using Canadian malts, European hops, and locally inspired passion fruit, the Kamasutra WitBier is also brewed sustainably — minimizing waste, reducing cold-chain dependency, and avoiding artificial preservatives.

June 8 Launch & Global Toast

To mark the launch, a global toast event will take place on June 8 in Bangalore, streamed live with Samsaric Brewing’s US locations. Craft beer lovers across continents will raise their glasses at the same time — a milestone in international craft beer culture.

“We’ve never seen a release like this,” the Red Rhino and Samsaric teams noted. “It’s a new frontier for collaborative brewing.”

The beer will be available on tap starting June 8 at Red Rhino Bangalore & Hyderabad, and through Samsaric’s distribution in Pennsylvania and Illinois.
