Itihaas,
the award winning fine dining restaurant unique to Birmingham, was
the venue of choice to host the first meeting between Cobra Beers and
Molson Coors since their joint venture was announced after the
collapse of Cobra owing £75 million and the financial
involvement of Molson Coors to settle with secured creditors only
under the questionable "pre-pack administration" system.
Taking place, Wednesday 17th June 2009, 20 guests from both the
management teams attended the dinner along with Lord Karan
Billimoria, who the becomes chairman of the new joint venture.
A special set menu was prepared
for the event including specialties like Mirchi Murgh, Tandoori
Salmon and Tandoori Paneer Tikka Salad, just three examples of the
delectable cuisine on offer. The rest of the menu continued along the
same theme and includes Itihaas' trademark standards, combining
authenticity and innovation.
Itihaas won the 2007/ 2008 Cobra
Good Curry Awards for the Best UK Restaurant and Best in the Midlands
and the venue is conveniently located in Birmingham, which is a
centre point for the two management teams to meet due to the
accessibility to the rest of the UK, both North and South.
Following the meeting, Raj Rana,
Founder of Itihaas said: "We are grateful for the recognition
that Cobra gave us with the Best UK Restaurant and Best in the
Midlands and their continued support. We are privileged that the two
organisations chose Itihaas to host their dinner. We wish Cobra and
Molson Coors all the success in their partnership and the future."
