2 LATEST UK CRAFT BEER RELEASES 15th – 21st February 2021

Overtone Brewing Co. Jammies To Work 6% IPA Double dry hopped with Citra and Galaxy, this hazy IPA is a comfortable classic with tropical, mango and passion fruit flavours.

By The River Brew Co. Big Trouble Al’owa 14% Imperial Collab with Wylam. A behemoth of an Imperial Stout mashed in with toasted malted oats, toasted wheat, malted rye, manuka raisins, black currants, figs and pecan nut. Fermented out using dark Canadian maple syrup with a late addition of toasted coconut flakes and dark cacao.

Elusive Brewing Mission 7% Nelson Rye IPA Brewed as a nod to a San Diego classic that showcases the wonderful Nelson Sauvin hop. This IPA incorporates rye malt for a gentle spiciness that pushes the delicate gooseberry notes up a notch. Southern Cross hops add an undertone of lime and pine.

Elusive Brewing Mechanism 5.6% Brown Ale Riffing on a classic English style, this brown ale takes a different path. Enigma from Australia and Simcoe from the US West Coast add depth of flavour atop a toasty malt base.

Unity Brewing Co. Oscillate #4 8% DIPA The flaked spelt gives the beer a real vibrancy and is a great expression of this delicious ancient grain. Paired with a hop bill of big hitters with Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy bringing all aromatics and juicy notes.

Fierce Beer Big Night In (Part 1) 9.6% Imperial Doughnut Pale Collab with Crosstown. Celebrating New Zealand Beer Month 2021, this Imperial Doughnut Pale has been brewed to replicate the flavours of a Crosstown 'Tongan Heilala Vanilla bean sourdough doughnut'. Soft, smooth, vanilla.

Fierce Beer Big Night In (Part 2) 10% Imperial Coffee Porter Collab with Allpress Espresso. Celebrating NZ Beer Month 2021, this Imperial Coffee Porter was brewed using Allpress Coffees ART Espresso Roast. Chocolatey, full bodied and full-on.

Brew York Dradis 12% Russian Imperial Stout A tribute to the greatest of all sci-fi shows; Battlestar Galactica. A big, luscious and complex Russian Imperial Stout made from a balance of ten different malts.

3 Brew York Thunder Truck 4.9% Pale Ale A fruity hazy pale, heavily dry-hopped and bursting at the seams with flavour. Citra, Loral, Mosaic and Simcoe team up for an easy-drinking and sessionable pale ale.

Howling Hops Soothing Fidelity 10.5% Imperial Stout A new 10.5% unadulterated Imperial Stout. That’s real malts stacked all the way up to heaven and zero marshmallow waffles involved. Designed to be a full-bodied, high- definition sensory experience with bumps, edges, surface noise, boozy heat and dry drinkability.

Northern Monk OFS029 12.2% Imperial Stout This 12.2% straight-up stout contains zero adjuncts. The beer has a deep, roasty character and raisin and berry notes are created by the malt, and the malt alone. This unadulterated Imperial Stout is thick, rich and complex thanks to an elaborate malt bill and a long, lager-like conditioning period.

Beak Brewery Gurr 7% IPA Gurr is an ode to the dank, heart-warming, sticky-icky Californian pales that sparked the love for hop-forward beers. This 7% is brewed with extra pale malt and 18g/litre of Chinook, Citra, Centennial and Amarillo. It’s all pine and grapefruit peel.

Bone Machine Brew Co. Attitude Adjustment 8.5% DIPA A Double IPA in the old school fashion. Combining hops from New Zealand, Australia and USA with a strong malty body and house yeast: Voss Kveik. Notes of pine, resin, grapefruit and wine gums, with a bold and satisfying bitterness and cereal backbone.

PATREON ANNOUNCEMENT Discover the benefits of membership

When we launched This Week in Craft Beer in January 2020, we were blissfully unaware of what lay ahead of us! Considering the obstacles we have all faced, we are proud of what we managed to accomplish in our first year.

However, we have lots more that we want to do in 2021! In order to fund these activities and to enable our Community to get more involved with the creative process at TWICB, we have launched a Patreon Membership Programme.

Full details of how you can get involved starting at less than the cost of a half-decent can of beer per month, can be found at patreon.com/thisweekincraftbeer.

Don't worry, our weekly Newsletter and Podcast will continue to be FREE FOR EVERYONE! The Patreon Membership offers access to range of brand new TWICB Products and Services. Please check it out and let us know what you think?! www.thisweekincraft.beer/patreon

Q. Why are you starting to charge for things that we have enjoyed for free all this year? A. We aren't! The weekly Newsletter and weekly Brewer-interview Podcast will continue to be free to everyone. Patreon will enable us to offer brand-new additional products and services to Members.

Q. What's this about Members getting involved with TWICB? A. We have been amazed and delighted with the amount of engagement and feedback we have received during our first year, via social media, email etc. The UK Craft Beer Community is clearly engaged, knowledgeable and sociable! We want to provide a mechanism for bringing the community into our creative process, allowing people to participate in the planning, research, production and delivery of our products.

Q. Why do you have to charge for things? A. TWICB is run by just two people: Rob and Steve. Whilst it is undoubtedly a labour of love, it has developed into something that consumes a significant part of our working weeks. Steve works mainly on the Newsletter, where the New Beers Section alone takes many hours per week, to research, collate and format. Rob works mainly on the podcast, where each episode takes several hours to schedule, research, record, edit and promote. Whilst we will continue to invest this time to produce the free products, we think Patreon could be a great way of funding the time and effort that we want to devote to developing new products and services.

Q. Apart from your time, what specifically will the Patreon proceeds be used to fund? A. As soon as the COVID-19 situation permits, we want to take the podcast on the road, to record Brewer interviews at their own Taprooms, as well as record live segments at Festivals, Tap-Takeovers and other beery events of note. In order to provide a quality finished audio product, we will need to invest in some decent mobile recording equipment, not to mention the cost of travelling the length and breadth of Britain in the pursuit of great interviews!

Q. What is the thought process behind the bundles of Patreon Membership bonuses that you are offering? A. We have tried to come up with bundles that combine some community benefits, exclusive digital products, exclusive physical products, invites to exclusive TWICB events, discounts on TWICB Grand Tours and opportunities to participate in the TWICB creative process. We have tried to price each Membership Level so that each offers outstanding value for money. We have also tried to be mindful of the number of Patreon members that we can realistically include in each bonus activity. (Clearly the invite to participate in the podcast interview or attend the TWICB "Board Meeting" needs to be strictly limited in numbers, or else the bonus would cease to be "exclusive” and would risk disrupting the actual process itself.)

Q. Are the Membership Benefits and Levels set in stone? A. Of course not! We are literally making this up as we go along currently! We would love to get your feedback on the Levels, the Benefits, and indeed the very idea of using Patreon in the first place! Please hit us up on IG (@thisweekincraft.beer) or via email [email protected]. We confidently expect to need to adjust the Patreon model as we go along, based on feedback.

Q. Is this like a Gym membership, where I sign up in January, and then regret it for the rest of the year?! A. Definitely Not! Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel your membership at any time. Only caveat here is that certain Member Benefits (mainly those ones that involve a significant cost for us to provide to you) are only unlocked after three or six months at a certain tier.

BREWER’S CORNER Miscellaneous Beery News

Our favourite beer blogger Jeff Alworth has a brilliant piece this week taking a look at the 40-year history of US Craft Beer:

https://www.beervanablog.com/beervana/2021/2/15/a-new-era-in-craft- brewing

Jeff's experience combined with his journalistic skill, allow him to form a balanced view which we very much appreciate at TWICB.

Good Beer Hunting have a sobering look at what is likely to become a growing part of the UK Craft Beer Scene, as the market (hopefully!) continues to expand, and brewery owners become ever more focused on the bottom line.

https://www.goodbeerhunting.com/blog/whats-fair-in-beer-and-litigation- the-role-of-non-competes-non-disclosures-and-trade-secrets-in-brewing

Tandleman has written a well-reasoned piece looking at how long it might be before on-trade is opened up in the UK this year.

http://tandlemanbeerblog.blogspot.com/2021/02/not-now-but-when-and-how.html

Make sure you check-out the comments on this article as well, which contain some excellent debate!

Brewdog are not everyone's cup-of-tea, but the initiative that they are taking to be carbon negative should be universally applauded.

https://brewpublic.com/beer-fundraiser/brewdog-to- plant-over-one-million-trees-via-buy-one-get-one- tree-program/

The Company's genius for self-promotion will also ensure that these efforts will always get mainstream media coverage, which can only be a good thing.

Viva la Revolución!

Here at TWICB, we are not claiming to be the UK's largest lobby group, or even the UK's largest beer lobby group(!), but we do have a growing audience, who we hope might be willing to support the following Craft Beer related causes

Petition Southwark Council to pedestrianise the Bermondsey Beer Mile on a Saturday.

With pedestrianisation of some of the busiest streets in Bermondsey on Saturdays only, we can get the many bars and restaurants back up to their previous operating levels whilst keeping customers safe with outdoor drinking.

Sign the petition here

Reverse the change to Small Brewers Relief

The Treasury has announced changes to Small Brewers Relief (SBR) – the progressive tax system that has revolutionised UK brewing. These changes will reduce the 50% duty threshold from 5,000hl to 2,100hl: small breweries will have to pay more duty, whilst larger breweries could pay the same or less.

Sign the petition here

At the moment, we are conscious that this is very London-focused! Please help us to make this list of causes more UK-inclusive, by suggesting your local petitions for inclusion on this list!

Please email [email protected]

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.
