May’s box took a flavour-led turn — built around bold food, bright citrus, and beers designed to pair just as well with a curry as they do on their own.
From zesty lagers to juicy IPAs and something a little more adventurous, this month is all about beer that works at the table — not just in the fridge.
A strong showcase of how alcohol-free beer is evolving: more expressive, more versatile, and made for real moments.

Snack Pairing – Mandira’s Kitchen Bombay Mix
This month’s snack brought a proper hit of spice.
Mandira’s Kitchen Bombay Mix is packed with bold flavour, crunch, and gentle heat — a great match for the beers in this box.
Top pairings:
- Bunta Citrus Lager → cuts through spice and refreshes the palate
- ZIPA / Cat On TV → balances heat with bitterness
- Cherry Sour → contrasts nicely with rich, savoury flavours
Big flavours on both sides, and it works well.
