LATEST UK CRAFT BEER RELEASES 12th – 18th October 2020

Overtone Brewing Co. Citra, Mo, Sabro 6% NEIPA Everybody likes Citra and Mosaic hops. So Sabro was invited to partner. Increased hoppiness, fruitiness and haze this time with a bit of coconut.

Howling Hops Pocketbook 5.2% DDH Pocketbook uses a very international blend of Enigma, Citra and Chinook for a complex flavour profile of melon, grape and chamomile. Super-soft and unputdownable

Howling Hops Rooftops 9.5% TIPA Hopped with Chinook, Citra and Sabro. It's scandalously juicy with ripe mango, pineapple, and zesty , while a tickle of coconut gives this beer a silky drinkability for such a giant lad.

North Brewing Co. North X Deya Triple IPA 10% TIPA Collab with Deya. Using copious amounts of Lotus, Idaho 7 + Citra hops in combination with Voss Kveik Yeast and an ultra-smooth body, this TIPA is a HUGE orange, vanilla , strawberry, drippy pine, unripe sherberty mango, limey and dank flavour fun house of a beer!

Wylam Brewery A Summer Of Drowning 7.3% IPA A submerged and saturated swamped under deep with all of the STRATA. Allowing this Indie Hop wonder to fly solo exposing a zingy flush of pink grapefruit, zappy lemon crush and juicy chunk pineapple with dankadallic low notes of passion fruit pulp and strawberry smoothie.

Wander Beyond Brewing Co. Fragariopod 12% Imperial Milkshake IPA Milkshake IPA with Alphonso mangoes & strawberries. Pulpy fruit meets juicy hops, all at a deceptively drinkable 12%.

Beatnikz Republic Seriously Seriously Mixed Up Sour 6.8% Fruited Sour For this beer, they've used 525kg of mixed dark fruit (Raspberry, Blackcurrant and Grape) and bumped up the abv to really push the boundaries of their fruited beers.

Canopy Beer Co. Up The Creek 5.8% Kveik IPA New IPA brewed with Norwegian Kveik yeast.

3

Neon Raptor Brewing Co. Saturday Night’s Alright 4.5% Strawberry Lemonade IPA Collab with Suds & Soda Beer. A Strawberry Lemonade IPA that’s at a crushable 4.5%. It’s a little tart from the lemons but sweetened by the strawberry, it’s refreshing and delicious.

Neon Raptor Brewing Co. Run Citra Run 8% DIPA The first in a range of single hopped DIPAs. Run Citra Run has massive hits of grapefruit, orange, mango and lychee.

Polly’s Brew Co. Like Forever 5.2% Pale Ale A meeting point between a classic style and massive modern hops, in this Pale Ale hopped with Chinook and Simcoe, the notes of mango, passion fruit and mandarin are the masters.

Polly’s Brew Co. Dry Hope 7.2% NEIPA An aroma explosion of a beer - positively Sabro, but not majority so. Mosaic brings pungent, dank, juicy notes initially, before a full on pina colada explosion of flavour from the Sabro addition begins to dominate, before rounding off with just the faintest citrus, resin notes from classic C hop Citra.

Verdant Brewing Co. Seldom Often 8.5% Imperial No . No pastry. Loads of layered roasted barley and crystal malts on a bed of UK Munich and Golden Promise. Full on flavours of dark chocolate, black coffee and juicy berries.

London Beer Factory Dusk Blend #2 5.8% Dark Wild Ale Dusk Blend #2 spent an average age of 12 months in oak. The aroma of this blend is bursting with toasted pecan, dark chocolate and dense rye bread. The flavour has a clean lactic acidity that leads into sweet candied red apple and orange zest. All before finishing rich and chocolatey.

4 London Beer Factory Distant Dream 5.5% East Coast Pale Ale Full white grape tones and vinous bitterness sandwich soft tropical fruits, packed into a thick yellow body jammed with Nelson Sauvin and Cashmere hops. Super crushable.

Whiplash Beer Backdrifts 9% Oat Tripel A Tripel that’s smoother and creamier than your average with that classic present but restrained Belgian ester with minimal heat. It’s unfiltered and unfined but proudly bright with a light complimenting fresh orange zest note that eases the depth of the malt just in time to leave you wanting another sip. ⠀

Alpha Delta Brewing Co. Eris 8% DIPA New DIPA.

Alpha Delta Brewing Co. Keres 11% TIPA New TIPA.

Alpha Delta Brewing Co. Soter 7% IPA New IPA.

Alpha Delta Brewing Co. Gelos 7.2% IPA Collab with Drop Project. This lip pouting IPA is heaving with Citra Incognito, Strata T90, Nelson T90 and Citra Cryo. This Tropical Passionfruit Banger will not disappoint.

Brew York Fairy Tale Of Brew York 4.9% Milk Stout Big peanut flavour, buttery pecan, complex maple and creamy vanilla with just a hint of cinnamon spice combine in our annual Christmas stout.

Brew York Viva La Guava-Lution 6.5% Fruited Sour Viva La Guava-lution is a zingy guava pastry sour packed with juicy guava and zesty lemon finished with large amounts of creamy vanilla.

Pomona Island Brew Co. Kikini Bamalam 6.5% DDH IPA Double dry hopped India Pale Ale with Cryo Amarillo, Citra, Simcoe and Chinook.

5 Pomona Island Brew Co. Northwest Hydraulics 8.5% DIPA A double IPA pumped full of Enigma, Cryo Chinook, Mosaic and El Dorado.

Track Brewing Co. All I Want 8.5% DIPA Collab with Freestyle Hops. A luscious DIPA packed with Motueka & Rakau from @freestylehops, who provide us fresh New Zealand hops for some big Southern Hemisphere flavours.

Left Handed Giant Brewing Co. Blender 6.8% Fruited Sour Fruited Sour IPA with blueberry, raspberry, almond, vanilla, and liberally hopped with Mosaic.

Northern Monk Ghost Venom Patrons Project 24.03 12% Imperial Stout Boasting notes of dark chocolate, light roast coffee, dark fruit, and cinder toffee spice. Ageing for six months allowed this intricate 12% stout to pick up the rich red grape, light oak, and red cherry flavours of the French Burgundy and Pinor Noir barrels.

Northern Monk OFS017 6% DDH IPA Easy drinking IPA combines the intense pineapple and coconut notes of Sabro Incognito with the fresh tropical juice punch of the Australian variety: Galaxy. Silky, smooth and packed with a cocktail of exotic fruit flavours.

Northern Monk Evolution Of Tradition 12.04 5.9% Green Hop IPA A wet hop IPA showcasing British hops, Evolution of Tradition sits at 5.9% and is available exclusively on draft.

Tempest Brewing Co. Old Parochial (2020) 13% Scotch Ale Everything about this year’s vintage is exactly how it should be with hints of caramel, fruitcake and the lingering hum of the finest whisky.

Fierce Beer All Gose South 5% Sour Collab with NZBC Beer Collective. Starting with a traditional gose containing additions of salt and coriander, then dialled it up with copious amounts of kiwi fruit to create a fresh, tart kiwi sour beer with a hint of tropical sweetness.

Pressure Drop Brewing Choice Of Dessert 10% Choco Banana Stout This beer is Luxury with a Capital ‘L’ Choice Of Desserts is silky smooth, creamy and rich. Loaded with banana (not the foam kind) and cacao nibs for a seriously decadent stout- no artificial flavourings in sight!

6 7 8

The Beak Brewery Queue 5% Session Pale Ale A super citrusy 5% session pale brewed with Azacca, Simcoe and Amarillo. It’s a pithy, lemony, sherbet-y delight designed for steady supping.

The Beak Brewery Pencil 6% India This beer is layered with six varieties of roasted, Crystal and chocolate malts plus Centennial and Columbus hops for flavours of coffee, molasses, cacao, pine and fresh tobacco.

Mad Squirrel Brewing Co. Compote 4.9% Triple Fruited Gose A brand new triple fruited Gose. A sour beer loaded full of Blackberries, Raspberries and Blueberries with a lemon sharpness. A perfect final fruity beer just before we head into the colder months.

Siren Craft Brew Playing The Studio 6% Sour Porter This beer utilises the brewhouse in different ways to build the composition of the beer. Simultaneously cold- and kettle souring, before blending everything back together in harmony. The result is rich in flavour with incredible drinkability.

Cloudwater Brew Co. One Good Lot 6% IPA Crop Year 2020. This single-hopped Motueka IPA is made with a single 8/3/20 harvest lot. Smooth, soft and light, it bursts with flavours of ripe papaya and lychee, alongside a touch of fresh lime and resinous notes.

Cloudwater Brew Co. Festbier 5.8% Lager Collab with Beer Kulture. This traditional mashed Festbier was brewed in collaboration with Beer Kulture, using an heirloom lager malt. As we celebrate the traditions that came before us, we also celebrate the new traditions that we will create together as a community.

Cloudwater Brew Co. Märzen 5% Lager Collab with Beer Kulture. Brewed using the finest speciality malts for a rich, deep malt expression accentuated by delicate hopping.

Phantom Brewing Co. Golden Ticket 6.3% IPA Dry-hopped with Cryo Azacca, Nelson Sauvin & Ella, the result of their year of recipe development of the modern Hazy IPA. Clocks in at 6.3% and is smooth, juicy and insanely drinkable.

9

Burnt Mill Brewery Multiverse Series – Level 1 Galaxy-Topaz-Bru-1 6% IPA Level I starts with extra pale, chit & flaked oats that provide a soft base where Galaxy hops take the spotlight, supported by Topaz & Bru-1 for aromas of passion fruit, resin and pineapple.

Deya Brewing Co. Mind’s Eye 4.8% Pale Ale Soft, biscuity malt profile and dripping with fresh 2020 Riwaka and Mosaic. Fresh, clean white grape and citrus hop profile, and an assertive bitterness.

Gipsy Hill Brewing Sandhog 6% West Coast IPA Crisp, bright and beautifully bitter. Hopped with West Coast staples - Centennial, Amarillo and Columbus kicking out resinous pine and clean citrus flavours. Fermented on US-05 for a super clean finish, letting the hop profiles shine through. This is an easy drinking ode to a classic.

Burning Sky Brewery Indecision Time Galaxy 6.8% Sour Modern pale ale that changes from brew to brew to highlight individual new world hops.

Abyss Brewing Road Trip #5 Centennial 5.9% IPA Single hop Centennial IPA. Centennial is a citrus hop, high in alpha with good aromatics. What better way to appreciate a classic hop?

O Brother Brewing Exploded View 8% DIPA Single hop Simcoe DIPA. On the nose - citrus, pine, and earthy, dank, tropical notes. On the palate this is ALL heavy-hitting overripe tropical and stone fruit. Think dank, funky apricot, mango and passion fruit, sweet and sticky, with just a touch of citrus and pine on hand to keep that juice from getting out of hand.

Boxcar Brewery Psyched 5% Pale Ale Pale Ale using Yakima Chief Hops new hop variety, 'Talus', giving pink grapefruit, lemongrass & coconut. A light, drinkable beer, with intense hop aromas.

35 WHO OWNS WHO…?

This Week in Craft Beer is dedicated to supporting and promoting Independent UK Craft Breweries and the ecosystem surrounding them.

We define Independent as being those breweries who are not wholly or partly owned by a macro brewery. A macro brewery is generally defined as a large, national or international brewery that produces and distributes more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.

Getting a new brewery off the ground is an expensive business, so most have external shareholders in some shape or form, whether through friends and family, crowdfunding, or some other form of investment. In our opinion, this does not compromise their independence, as long as the shareholder is not a macro brewery.

Why does this matter?

Having a Macro as a parent company (even a minority shareholder), gives the brewery huge advantages of patronage, including access to cheaper or scarce ingredients, access to distribution networks, access to points of sale including draft taps and pub fridges etc. For example, in 2017 ABInbev bought the entire South African hop market for its own use and denied access to all independent breweries.
