Mridya, a one-of-a-kind Belgian Dubbel aged for 15 months in ex-Camikara rum barrels, is now available for a limited period at Fort City Brewing, Hauz Khas. Here’s why you don’t want to miss this exclusive craft beer experience:
1. India’s First Ex-Camikara Barrel Aged Beer
Mridya is India’s first and only beer aged in ex-Camikara rum barrels, giving it a unique depth and complexity. Developed through Fort City Brewing and Camikara’s pioneering ‘Barrel Aged Beer Program’, this creation is a fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and innovation.
“This collaboration is more than just aging beer in barrels—it’s about blending traditions, pushing boundaries, and crafting something truly exceptional for beer, whisky, and rum aficionados alike,” say Gautham Gandhi & Ashish Ranjan, co-founders of Fort City Brewing.
2. Aged for 15 Months for Exceptional Flavour
Unlike most beers, which are brewed in a matter of weeks, Mridya takes 15 months to mature in ex-Camikara barrels. The aging process imparts rich raisin and dried fruit notes, reminiscent of Camikara’s signature profile.
“Our partnership with Camikara is a tribute to time, patience, and craftsmanship. Every barrel tells a story, and through this program, we are creating beers that embody depth, complexity, and character,” add Ishaan & Sannat Chandhok, co-founders of Fort City Brewing.
3. A Unique Collaboration of Two Powerhouses
This remarkable beer brings together Camikara, India’s first and only pure cane juice aged rum, and Fort City Brewing’s Jaggernaut, a craft beer made with palm jaggery from Andhra. The result? A masterpiece of depth and complexity, further enhanced by the nuances of American oak aging.
“Mridya beautifully showcases the depth and complexity that barrel aging can bring to craft beer. This marks our second barrel-aged beer, offering consumers a unique confluence of rum and brewing artistry,” shares Shalini Sharma, Head of Marketing at Piccadily Distilleries.
4. A Crimson Red Pour with Distinct Notes
Mridya is visually stunning, pouring into a crimson red glass with a fleeting off-white head. Every sip delivers profound notes of toasted oak, caramel, plum, raisins, and dark fruits, with slight oxidation adding complexity.
5. Available Only at Fort City Brewing for a Limited Time
Mridya is exclusively available at Fort City Brewing, Hauz Khas, for a limited time only. At just ₹595 + GST, this is a rare opportunity to experience an expertly aged, craft-brewed beer with the distinctive influence of Camikara barrels.
