COBRA Beer is launching its blond IPA Malabar in award-winning Bradford-based restaurant chain Aagrah.

Malabar is named after the Karnataka coast of South India, the state in which Cobra Beer was first brewed 28 years ago.

It will be available from today in the Aagrahs in Thornbury, Shipley, Leeds, Garforth, Chapel Allerton and Sheffield.

Lord Bilimoria, founder and chairman of Cobra beer, said: "The launch of Malabar in Aagrah marks a momentous occasion for Cobra, and it is great to see how the beer will become more accessible as it is made available in more top bars and restaurants across the UK.”

Mohammed Aslam, managing director of the Aagrah Group, said: “We have been working with Cobra Beer since we started over 40 years ago. We are delighted Cobra chose to do the launch of Malabar with Aagrah.”

Cobra Beer Malabar is a small-batch Blond IPA brewed using the finest ingredients, including ale yeast and a traditional Indian blend of barley malt, maize, five varieties of hops, wheat, and rice, creating the impossibly smooth texture that makes Cobra Beer the favourite accompaniment for food of all varieties.
