With National Curry Week approaching, we’ve teamed up with long-time collaborators and Monk team favourite, Bundobust for our latest Culinary Concept. The key to feasting Gujarati-style is balance - that interplay of hot, cold, sweet, spicy, soft and crunchy all mingling with each other in one meal, sometimes all in one bite.
With so much rich and spicy food at the table, mouthfuls of fruit chaat – fresh fruit dusted with punchy chaat massala – are eaten between scoops of dal and bites of bread and bhaji to provide welcome refreshment and contrast to emphasise the variety of savoury flavours.
We’ve recreated that in beer form, by adding Mango & Pineapple to a silky oat-forward Citra & Amarillo base to create a smooth, fruity IPA, conditioned on kashmiri chilli and salt to mimic the distinctive warming salinity of chaat massala.

truly there has not been a style i’ve wanted to try less than chile beer, but i figured i ought to tick it off when i get the chance, and the time has come. at first it’s not so bad, but the aftertaste is so strange, very bell peppery, with a hint of spice, i think the base beer itself is nice enough, citrus fruit forward juicy ipa, hint of saltiness, medium bodied with medium carbonation, frankly it gets better as you drink it, but i can’t imagine this beer not being enhanced by the absence of chillies… points for trying though
