FRENCH MARTINI
In Northern Spirits, Northern Monk work with the best cocktail bars in the North to bring you some unique and delectable beers inspired by signature cocktails. For their second in the series, they’ve turned to pure elegance. The classic French Martini was invented in the 1980s in New York by bartender Keith McNally and takes its name from one of the main ingredients, Chambord. Think fruity, smooth and velvety but with a sharp backbone. It’s refreshing and indulgent. Monk have used lots of pineapple here to replicate the sharpness of the cocktail, topped with some raspberry puree, notes of blackcurrant and a touch of vanilla to replicate the flavour of Chambord. Smooth, juicy with medium mouthfeel but with a zingy tang with a 5.7% ABV. They brewed this beer with Roland’s, the sanctuary of Call Lane, founded in 2014 by brothers Jonathan & Alexander Neil, Roland’s is a laidback bar with courtyard and hidden roof terrace serving up exceptional drinks, great music and good times. Named 32nd best bar in the UK at the 2022 Top 50 Bar Awards. Roland’s second venue opened in March 2022 with a grown-up, chilled out vibe serving world-class drinks to the fine people of Harrogate. VAULT CITY
SUGAR 'N' SPICE
This sweet, warming dessert sour is inspired by pumpkin & apple pie, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, maple drizzle and a light dusting of pecans – a true autumnal sour for the season. SHAKE S'MORE Vault City have combined the bold juiciness of a blueberry honeyberry shake with their tangy mixed fermentation base beer, resting among creamy layers of gooey toasted marshmallow, chocolate and sweet maple syrup. BLOOD AND INK (X FREDDIE ALBRIGHTON) A collaboration with tattoo artist Freddie Albrighton combining jammy fruits with the subtle salty taste of squid ink creating a striking opaque black colour. Freddie and Vault City have something in common: they're both big fans of each other's work. Alongside tattooing and art he has a passion for great beer, particularly sour beer, which led to their limited edition collaboration RIVINGTON

BELA LUGOSI IS CHASING ME
IPA dry hopped with a chilling combo of Citra BBC, Mosaic BBC & Galaxy T90. What music they make! Tropical aromas curdle through a weighty oat bill, staked through the heart by a citrus bitterness. LEE CAVALLO'S PUTTING CHALLENGE Hazy pale ale dry hopped with Citra BBC, Mosaic BBC, and Nelson Sauvin T90. Brewery favourite hops combine for a juicy, slightly dank, tropical fruit POWER DRIVE. May I suggest a putter? AZVEX
CHARIOT OF HELIOS
We might be experiencing the very last of the sun for the year but maybe that means Azvex should make more DIPAs? Chariot of Helios is packed full to the brim with Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin, Citra & Nectaron…So much so the gods would be proud. CIRCADIAN RHYTHM It's been pretty hectic at Azvex this last month but their own Circadian Rhythm is back in full swing. They took the all-star bill of Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Strata & Galaxy and applied a little change to what they normally do. The result is a pillowy, hoppy delight with next to no bitterness. FLOC

Bursting with tropical fruit, white wine notes, and juicy berry flavours, balanced by dank, resinous undertones. LEFT HANDED GIANT
MYSTERIOUS FORCES
As usual LHG have leaned heavily into the additions of jumbo and naked oats, with some white wheat on a super pale base, for a full and fluffy texture. Little pops of blueberry come through from a light kettle dose of mosaic leaf and a hint of gooseberry from a cold addition of Nelson Sauvin SubZero Hop Kief®. Peach, Tangerine & Pressed Grape. FEELS LIKE SUMMER Hazy IPA with Krush, Columbus Cryo and Cashmere. Formerly known as HBC 586, Krush is a variety that oozes rich alphonso mango, so when paired with the luxurious texture of LHG's grain bill and water profile it’s as indulgent as it is refreshing. Up front there’s a crisp lime note and to the back you can pick out a pungent spicy character, from the supporting varieties in their T90 and Cryo form. Ripe, Mango & Seasonal Confusion. YONDER
ROOBARB AND CUSTARD
Nostalgia in abundance! Inspired by the classic red and yellow boiled sweet with a helping hand from a cartoon with an awesome theme tune. Apologies for the earworm! SHRIMPS AND BANANAS Inspired by the foamy sweet shop classic. A deliciously soft fruity sour stuffed full of flavour (does not contain shrimps). CHERRY B'BOMB Exploding with cherries and chocolate, this delicious pastry stout is inspired by everyone's favourite video game plumber! CHERRY PIE The pie-fect pint! As FBI agent Dale Cooper once said, "This beer must be where pies go when they die". Mmmm... Freshly baked Cherry Pie packed with sweet and sour cherries, a hint of almond, and vanilla. All topped with a brown sugar-dusted, flaky pastry pie crust. These are the nostalgic, homely flavours which inspired this decadent, fruit-filled pastry sour. SIREN
MAVKA 2024
Siren first brewed Mavka with Ukraine's Varvar Brew in 2018, it's beer that has remained close to their hearts. When they learned about the work of NOXAIDUK through James at Hook Norton, they wanted to support their incredible efforts by bringing Mavka back once more. 50p from each can sold will go directly to supporting humanitarian aid trips from Banbury to Ukraine. BODY LANGUAGE Siren have teamed up with Madrid's Cervecera Peninsula on this classic, robust and sessionable stout. Body Language is layered up with biscuity, nutty and roasty malted barley, with a caramelised character from rich dark sugar and just the tiniest hint of smoke. A comforting beer with moreish drinkability. FOLLOW ME TO THE FIELDS This brown ale takes inspiration from a Siren team visit to Simpsons Malt, where they tasted a variety of grains throughout the malting process. An impressive 9 different malt varieties build an incredible base of flavour, with Mosaic, Strata and HBC630 hops bringing berry and tropical fruit highlights. I SAID WHAT I SAID Bold, bright hops are at the forefront of this soft and creamy IPA. Aromas of honeydew melon, ripe peaches and juicy tropical fruits burst right out of the glass, thanks to a generous dosing of Krush, Citra and experimental HBC1019. The hops also act to balance the sweetness of oats and milk sugar, which contribute a soft, smooth mouthfeel. Luscious, dank, moreish. STAGGERINGLY GOOD
SLOSHI: MANGO, BLOOD ORANGE, PEACH, KEY LIME PIE
Mango, Peach, Blood Orange, Key Lime Pie blend together into a sharp, tart, but endlessly smashable tropical cocktail. ICE CREAM WRECKER Staggeringly Good's sour fruit beer base, packed with Plum, Cherry, Blackcurrant, and conditioned kilo after kilo of Ice Cream Powder, it's thiccccccc, sweet, delicious - like having ice cream with a tart berry coulis. HOP ROD The moustache owning, tasche talking, beer swilling, telling you to 'fuck orf', (not the) manager is back, ready to jump that jump. Staggeringly Good have taken everything they've learned about NEIPA since they originally launched this, and thrown it all at the recipe of this absolute classic, hopped with Citra, Bru-1, Mosaic, and Simcoe. It's back, packed with oats and hops, and ready to remind you that Southsea is the REAL MVP. POMONA ISLAND
SOYLENT GREEN
A nourishing double dry hopped pale with Citra Cryo and Citra T90, that will keep you coming back for more. What makes Pomona beers taste so damn good? There is a secret ingredient, but they’ll never tell. I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR A Double Dry Hopped IPA with 100% Strata? I’d buy that for a dollar! NO I'M... DOESN'T I heard a Blackberry, Blackcurrant, Blueberry & Lime Sour makes you stupid. No I’m... doesn’t.

DO YOU LOVE THE WEST COAST?
Elusive have released Double Oregon Trail a couple of times now, to great feedback. Last year they released Sunset (Red) and Midnight (Black) variants of Oregon Trail, both beers were highly rated. Sunset is rated in the top 3 Red IPAs brewed in England. They love brewing quality Red IPAs. Midnight also features in the top ten Black IPAs. They've ramped up both these beers to 8% Abv, increasing the hops alongside the robust caramel bodies. Double Oregon will remain of the light and modern West Coast DIPA style, with a drinkability that belies its strength. We also have fresh original Oregon Trail that started the whole thing off.

Breakdancing in Doncaster // IPA 6.5% For the final beer in the British Culture Archive series, they've taken the king of the US hops, Citra, and paired it with the gold-standard of English hops, East Kent Goldings. Citra brings its signature tropical and citrus punch, which underpins the tangerine, mint and floral notes of East Kent Goldings. OVERTONE
Firstly they have created a twin range of beers inspired by the concept of double albums, two separate beers with the same base but a slightly different twist, both available together to be enjoyed together. Both beers start with the same malt bill and Galaxy and Ekuanot in the kettle before the dry hopping parts their ways.
Twilight To Starlight 6.2% DDH IPA Twilight to Starlight is double dry-hopped with Mosaic hops to add some blueberry and stone fruit notes on top of peach, papaya and citrus notes. Dawn To Dusk 6.2% DDH IPA Dusk to Dawn is double dry-hopped with Enigma hops to add some sweet berry and white wine notes on top of peach, papaya and citrus notes. Then a new Pale & Sour - Naked Soup 5% Pale Ale Brewed in collaboration with one of their favourite Glasgow hot spots, Naked Soup. A juicy sessionable pale ale with a new hop blend from Freestyle Hops. Kohia Nelson is a blend of Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops, but the most exciting part is the addition of dried passion fruit seeds to the blend to deliver strong passionfruit, orange and guava juice flavours with hints of citrus. Raspberry Ripple 5.5% Ice Cream Sour Their ice cream sours have been going down a storm so they've decided to launch a fresh new range in the series at a modest and (slightly) sessionable 5.5%. First up is this Raspberry Ripple inspired sour with kilos of fresh Scottish raspberries and vanilla soft serve ice scream swirled through. Plus a large restock of all their most recent beers that have sold out. VALENTINES

CLOUDWATER X RANGE BREWING DIPA v16
In their latest DIPA v series collaboration they are grateful to have worked hand-in-hand with Range Brewing in Brisbane Australia, who have worked in bold and adventurous ways to elevate the Australian brewing scene. In this DIPA they've boldly pushed the boundaries of contemporary liquid hop offerings. While liquid hops have traditionally played a supporting role in their most innovative beers, evolving their impact as technology and real-world feedback shape their usage, this time they wanted them to take centre stage in the brewing process. The aim was to maximise the potential of these full-flavour liquid hop extracts, producing an abundance of aroma and a profound hop resin character. The hop line-up starts with Citra Incognito from Barth Haas, followed by Nelson and Motueka SubZero HopKief from Freestyle for biotransformation. It then progresses to Galaxy and Citra Spectrum before finishing off with Nelson and Motueka Amplifire green hops oil from Clayton Hops, resulting in a layered complexity that rivals the finest dry-hop offerings available. The outcome is a huge New Zealand-led bouquet of grape, lime, and gooseberry, complemented by lingering citrus and peach flavours on a dense resinous body that will have you savouring the intense, all-encompassing hop experience. In can plus lots of other fresh Cloudwater. ALSO ON TAP AT BOTH OUR PUBS THIS WEEKEND PENTRICH

Lavell's Chocolate Orange Imperial Stout 10% Abv A beer to celebrate our love of Terry, without whom we still wouldn't be in business today.

PUTTY TIME
Since the inaugural successful launch at Hop City in 2017, Putty has been an annual release in January, they've stuck to the original recipe for this Double IPA. It features a malt base of Golden Promise, a higher-than-normal proportion of wheat malt, along with generous amounts of oats and flaked wheat to provide a well-rounded flavor. The water profile is delicately soft, with substantial whirlpool additions of Galaxy, Mosaic, and Azacca hops. This is followed by an extensive dry hop, with equal parts Mosaic/Galaxy and slightly less Azacca. We recommend leaving the beer for a few weeks to allow for the greeness / hop burn to fade, or buy two, one for now and one for later. There is limited supply on this as ever, we are launching it online Thursday when the lorry arrives for delivery to you Friday. Alternatively you can buy it from our York store on Friday or on tap in our pubs. POLLYS

THE MAVEN OF FUNK MUTATION x Brewski
Who needs to think, when you can drink a Blackcurrant, Redcurrant & Pink Grapefruit Sour IPA? JELLY JARS AND BIRD CALLS Grown sleepy now as the rain falls, a Gose draped in Blackcurrant, Elderberry and Quince with a touch of Halen Môn sea salt. Drink with jelly jars and bird calls. CLOUDWATER
DISTANT SONDER
Hand-selecting their hops lets Cloudwater be playful with pairings — this lot of Columbus is super dank for an older-school hop, and the Mosaic is very berry-forward, melding to a fruity and skunky delight. AN ODE TO THE MYSTICS An Imperial Stout made with a blend of three Port barrel-aged stouts and cacao nibs. Notes of rich, melted chocolate are complemented with a subtle yet distinct presence of Port character. Each sip delivers an impactful blend of sweet, indulgent melted chocolate, seamlessly integrated with the nuanced Port influence, a medium body, and a silky smooth mouthfeel from the first taste to the lingering finish. COMFORTING HABIT Crafted from a blend of two bourbon barrel-aged stouts with 8 kilograms of dried cherries and infused with vanilla & tonka bean. Aromas of ripe cherries, smooth vanilla notes and rich chocolate liqueur are complemented by an intricate spice from tonka bean. Barrel wood notes work to enhance the expression of cherry, while tonka and vanilla subtly steer this beer’s profile towards the pastry realm. OBJECT OF DESIRE A blend of two bourbon barrel-aged Imperial stouts with the addition of single origin Brazilian espresso-roast beans from Workshop Coffee. Earthy aromas lead to a prominent nutty essence, complemented by deep roasty undertones and a distinctive bourbon character. Robust coffee notes cut through the beer’s heaviness, enhancing drinkability and complementing the bourbon character, creating an exceptionally smooth and easy-drinking experience. TRACK
NELSON STREET
Track first brewed this beer as part of three beers that they had the pleasure of brewing for International Women's Day, and loved it so much, that they had to bring it back again. Mashed in at a high temperature to preserve body and loaded with extra pale malt, light Munich, flaked wheat, malted oats and a touch of cara gold which all boost the mouthfeel and softness of this beer. Generously dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin, you’ll find heaps of lemon and orange, a gooseberry and white wine zip as well as hints of mango, white pepper and floral delicacy. BEAK
ILLU
This silky soft India Pale Ale is saturated in Citra, Amarillo, Enigma, Ella and Idaho-7 hops.

It’s pining for the fjords. BUSY DOING NOTHING Pale ale dry hopped with Citra BBC, Mosaic Cryo & Vic Secret T90. Straw coloured, lightly tropical, and with a spritzy citrus rind twist. We’d like to be unhappy, but never do have the time! VERDANT
OPTICAL ALLUSION x Totally Natural Solutions
Verdant love experimenting with new hop products and what a treat to collaborate with Totally Natural Solutions on this hopped up crispy pale ale! TNS produce a wide range of amazing liquid hop extracts and Verdant have slammed heaps of them into this little pale ale. Zippy, crisp and bitter with huge hop presence overflowing from the glass. CHEERS! THEY WENT ON FOREVER The best way to describe this would be “baby Nebulous Sky”, Verdant's classic TDH-DIPA, as both beers share the same magical hop combo: Mosaic, Nelson Sauvin & Galaxy (best combo ever?!). A perfect mix of big fruitiness and dank, umami vibes. Proper banger!A LEFT HANDED GIANT
FREE MOTION
LHG are always looking to experiment with their Alcohol-Free recipes, here they've translated the texture and aroma of their IPA range down to less than 0.5% Layers of Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado and Sabro bring notes of lemon peel, blueberry, pear and tangerine with a hint of pressed white grape from an addition of Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief™ INFINITE DAYS A generous helping of Naked Oats for a creamy texture, and a hint of toasted biscuit, on a base of Extra Pale base malt. Being Citra-forward, using leaf, T90, Cryo and Incognito, there’s a strong foundation of sweet, floral citrus and passionfruit. Motueka brings out the lime character and Pacific Sunrise adds accents of woody orange and mango. Tropical, floral and creamy. GOLDEN DAYDREAM x Tapestry By PROPS In collaboration with Tapestry by PROPS, LHG present a delightful rye pale ale, utilising Amarillo, Ekuanot and El Dorado for a bright citrus character, complementing the underlying rustic bread notes from the addition of rye malt to the mash. A collaborative label with PROPS trainees highlights the fantastic work the charity does in their local community. Crisp, Citrus, Bready SINNISTER
STOLEN ART
This delight is 2 different imperial stouts aging in 2 different Scottish whisky barrels, then blended together along with black cherry, toasted coconut and cocoa, to create a barrel aged Cherry Ripe (chocolate bar available in NZ and Oz. ) in liquid form. Not stupid sweet or stupid "thicc" BOG MONSTER A Peated sherry barrel aged imperial stout aged with charred Manuka wood. This isn't going to be for everyone, the Scottish peated whisky that lived in the sherry octave before this beer has given it a medicinal quality along with the rich sherry and the pungent smokey notes from the charred Manuka make it pretty unique, DEYA
LIVING IN AND OUT OF TUNE
Crocmas has come early… As it's nearly that time of year Deya wanted to make something festive and decided to draw inspiration from the legendary drink…Buck's Fizz. They brewed a rice lager base to provide a clean and fairly neutral flavour profile. Then they took some grape juice and orange comminute and fermented it with champagne yeast. This gave us some bone-dry fruity liquid. Deya blended them together, infused the blend with orange and lemon zest and carbonated it to a high level…the result is Bucks Fizz as a beer, delicious! POLLYS
MAMBO FIRE
Every now and again you just need to go headfirst into a beer with a single-minded plan in place. The plan for Mambo Fire? Simple - straight up, freshly squeezed orange juice. How to create a boozy breakfast juice though? Say no more, and step forward Mosaic and Amarillo - a two hop combo simple in execution, but incredible as a pair. Pollys have only brought a 10kg addition of Amarillo to the party on this beer but boy does it bring the high-citrus notes to proceedings. Where do you go from there? Oh a 25kg addition of Mosaic to bring a metric tonne of tangerine flavours to this beer? Sure why not. Positively dripping with citrus notes, we feel we've hit the mark with this beer and then some. THE RIVALITA Whilst Polly's are primarily known for their pale and hoppy output, there’s nothing they love more than occasionally dipping their toes into the dark side of things and embracing a stout to keep their brewers happy. In a world awash with crazy adjunct-riddled pastry and dessert stouts, Polly's decided to bring everything back to basics and go all out on a style they ourselves loved in their formative years of drinking beer – the straight up, no fuss Imperial Stout. No messing around on this one; a tickling of Nelson during the boil and then again at flameout give the beer a decent amount of bitterness, but they’ve let the malt firmly do the talking with this beer. Roasted coffee, dark fruits, and chocolate are bursting from this stout that those starry eyed pre-Polly’s drinkers would have been proud of. Just as it says on the can; no nonsense. SOMA CENTRE As another year of festivals draws to a close and Polly's hibernate over the winter period once again. They’ve once again backed up their claim that midst all the hype juice and pastry stouts, there’s nothing that seems to pique people’s interest better than a bright red, stupidly fruited sour beer. A branch of the brewery they feel is becoming one of their strongest offerings with each iteration, their brewers have duly obliged the brief, and have gone all out on Soma Centre. Bringing 50kg of blackcurrants to the party and buffing it up with a further 25kg of lemon before rounding everything off with a hearty 1kg addition of sea salt, the result is a gose that is equal parts puckeringly tart and sweet. PUEBLO Okay, so Polly's are a couple of months into this wonderfully easy to understand new duty reform now, why not do as their contemporaries are and lean into the shackles being put on any and all innovation in our field? Small Pale Ales were a regular feature of their first year as a commercial brewery, and with everything going on in the wider world, they unanimously agreed to revive this dormant style from their Originals range that they loved so much. A pale ale that is bringing absolutely no funny business along with it – a super reeled back 8g/l dry hop bill of Azacca and Mosaic bring a whole host of those typical Polly’s juice notes to the party, but at a mega crushable 3.5%; perfect for smashing pints of with pals whilst sharing good times. Expect the usual – clean notes of lemon, pine and grapefruit backed up with super juicy mango, candied oranges, and stone fruits. TRACK
VOYAGE x Messorem
Messorem, Hailing from Montreal, Canada - Make some of the best beer that Track had the pleasure of tasting in North America, so it was a pleasure to brew a hazy DIPA for their first time over in the UK. Pours, pure yellow haze. Like sunlight fresh from the can. Packed full of Motueka, Riwaka & Nelson CGX. Tons of fresh lime, tart gooseberry and slushy mojito. LONG STRETCH Track have given one of their most loved styles the single hop treatment with one of their favourite hops, Mosaic. This Hop was meant for beers like this. Fresh, bright orange peel with a pronounced and lasting bitterness. LIFT EVERYONE UP x Fast Fashion This is the last of a series of collaborations with Track's friends at Fast Fashion Brewing. An American Lager dry-hopped with their trademark Hop, Anchovy. Notes of crisp lemon peel and spring meadows. Super refreshing with a little hop hit. JESTER KING
WYTCHMAKER
First released at Jester King in October of 2010, Wytchmaker is brewed with Texas-grown San Jacinto Two Row and Wildfire Pale Malt from TexMalt, malted Rye, and oats. It's kettle hopped with Citra and El Dorado and dry hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic Cryo. We fermented it in stainless steel with Imperial A38 Juice yeast. It's super fresh, hoppy, and delicious! RESIDENT CULTURE
LIGHTNING DROPS
Bursting with juicy tropical fruit & dank citrus. Hopped with a ridiculous amount of hand-selected Citra & Mosaic hops, along with some insane Galaxy hops they were able to get their hands on. We loaded this beer up with an ungodly 4 lbs per bbl of hops - because who knows where TF 2020 is taking us, and we at least want to have this beer in hand for whatever gets thrown our way next MOTIVATIONS OF THE HEART Tasty W.C. IPA hopped with some old and new favorites: Nectaron, Simcoe, Columbus, and Mosaic Cryo. Lots of delicious ripe tropical fruit and citrus notes with a touch of resinous piney dankness. *Chef's kiss* FOREVER ALONE: GALAXY The latest in RC's Forever Alone series features Galaxy from Hollingbery hops imparting flavors of ripe passionfruit, juicy peach, and bright citrus. DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS x Dssolvr Classic lil' west coaster jam packed with all the goodness of Chinook Salvo, Amarillo, Columbus, Centennial Cryo, Strata GCX, and Simcoe hops.

Brace yourself for an explosion of flavor as dank, resinous, and tropical notes transport you to a sun-drenched oasis, while the zesty citrus undertones provide the perfect balance. HOLY GOAT
HAIL THE BAT III
Cherry BA Flanders Red with Scottish Honeyberries Holy Goat picked two standout barrels of their aged Flanders Red for this beer. These had been aging in whisky casks which had previously held the beer-soaked whole cherries producing their beloved Unholy Mountain kriek. We blended these barrels with a smaller portion of beer brewed and aged at the Hanging Bat in Edinburgh, which were aged in a quarter casks. The oxidative nature of aging in small barrels lent a rounded acidity when blended with the cherry barrels. We then refermented this blend on 200g/l of whole Scottish honeyberries for two months. 780 bottles only. BLOOD EAGLE BA Flanders Red with Smoked Plums Harking back to one of their earliest releases, Blood Eagle returns! A cross between a Flanders Red and a British stock ale, brewed with a mixture of crystal, amber and rye malts. Primary fermentation was undertaken with one of our favourite Brettanomyces blends, in addition to Holy Goat's house culture of yeast and bacteria. This beer was then blended (70/30) with a one-year-old stock ale aged in red wine barrels. They transferred this blend onto 200g/l of this seasons Victoria plums. A portion of these plums were smoked over wine barrel staves at the brewery. The resulting beer is complex and vinous with a subtle smoke. EMPEROR'S HAND x Emperor's Whisky BA Imperial Stout with Honey and Smoked Plums Unleashing the darkest will of the emperor, they combined forces to brew a spectacle of his power. Brewed with an array of dark malts, muscovado, demerara sugar and caramelised honey. Fermented with smoked plums within three freshly emptied whisky casks (Ailsa Bay, Blair Athol and Girvan). Deep woody oak and a sweet oaken smoke, overlain by honey glazed caramelised plums. Bottle conditioned. 768 Bottles only. HOLY MOUNTAIN 2023 Kriek style sour with Stevnsbær sour cherries Inspired by the Belgian kriek style, this golden sour beer has been aged on Danish sour cherries. This beer combines a blend of two of Holy Goat's favourite golden sour base beers, both brewed with local Scottish barley, wheat and oats, and fermented with multiple Brettanomyces and bacteria strains. They aged this base beer for two months with 700kg of ‘Stevnsbær’ sour cherries, sourced from the orchards on the Frederiksdal estate used to produce award-winning Danish cherry wine. Known as the grapes of the North, these sour cherries are ideally suited to growing in the colder climbs of Scandinavia. BARON
SWEET NOTHINGS
Oh bring on the juice. Nectaron and Mosaic haze bomb of a New England IPA. Unadulterated yellow hoppy goo. The sorta stuff Baron do. A punchy 21g/L mid-fermentation dry-hop of two of the biggest and dankest hops in the biz. NARWHAL ENIGMA The best of both worlds. Red, malty, caramelly goodness, with a mega addition of Australian Enigma. Red berries, black tea and big red grapefruit aromas from this lovely, very recognisable hop. Perfect for a red beer, and quite a different experience to the typical hazy IPAs. HEADSTRONG A session strength, no-adjunct, no-nonsense Porter at 4.4%. A whole host of dark malts for a complex depth and smooth chocolate biscuit finish. No pale malts, all speciality grains for many layers in a weak, black beer. MOON WATCH While low in booze, it still holds on to plenty of hop character from two Antipodean big hitters, NZ Eclipse (slick moon reference) and AUS Riwaka. Brewed to accentuate the body in this beer for a fuller mouthfeel and IPA level hop facets. PASTORE
OUR RAM IN TORINO
This is Pastore's first aperitivo style sour beer. A style they've long wanted to try and make but always approached with trepidation due to the bitterness. Ultimately they have tried to find a balance of both bitterness & acidity to make a Pastore aperitivo beer. Pastore infused the wort on brewday with gentian root, to bring bitterness, & juniper berries. Then fermented with their fresh sour mixed culture for that lovely lactic zing. They then conditioned on bitter oranges for more layers of bitterness and citrus aromatics & cherries for colour. We will also be receiving Pastore's new 'Sorbetto Strawberry, Cherry & Lime'! BURNING SKY
MEDIA BLITZ
A big West Coast IPA, brewed with 100% Maris Otter malt, hopped on the hot side with Simcoe, Centennial and Chinook. Huge dry hop with Simcoe, Chinook, Citra and Columbus varieties for classic pine resin, grapefruit and citrus notes. Pithy! VATTED PORTER A ramped up version of Burning Sky's Robust Porter, this beer spent a year ageing in oak vats. The finest Maris Otter, roast and crystal malts give rich coffee and chocolate notes. Warming alcohol makes this a new fireside companion for the winter season. PETITE SAISON This mixed fermentation saison is a light and easy drinking small beer. Barrel aged for a few months, this delicate beer was then dry hopped for a refreshing finish before canning. ON RETURNING Burning Sky's second collaboration release with Kelly Ryan and Boneface brewing this year. A pilsner malt with wheat and spelt, Nelson Sauvin hops and a subtle blend of spices. Fermented with their unique mixed culture strain in oak barrels for six months then blended and dry hopped with more Nelson Sauvin. The result is a complex beer with smooth acidity and grape like aromas. LITTLE EARTH PROJECT
TANGENTIAL THOUGHTS
A 7.2% barrel aged mixed fermentation golden sour rested on the pomace of local Bacchus grapes from Ark Wines 2022 vintage! Big funky, bretty vibes on this with lovely fruity tropical vibes coming through. GARDEN GRAPE A 5.5% sour aged in a fresh wine barrel on Pinot Noir grapes grown in our own back garden! Aged on the full grape, this expresses much more straight-up rosé qualities that wouldn't go amiss at a festive dinner! Berry fruits and a crisp finish. ELDERFLOWER RESERVE A Suffolk summer flashback in bottle form. 6kg of fresh foraged elderflower heads went into this 2 barrel batch of golden sour originally brewed in August 2020! A lovely floral funk that will pair deliciously with your festive cheese board - think a lightly smoked cheddar, aged gouda, or a creamy goats cheese. We'll also be getting a restock of "Coolship #1"! POMONA ISLAND

SOLID STATE
Punchy and pungent. Smooth and light. Citrus and tropics. Pine and dank. The sister IPA to 20 Watt Moon ticks all the right boxes. You can session an IPA right? QUIET CHARGE Soft and succulent citrus flavours are the order of the day in this little pale. The pairing of Amarillo and Citra hops makes for prominent orange and grapefruit notes to glide across a fleshy mango bed of yum. SIREN

DIVE IN
A refreshing Pale that is still packed full of flavour, with a depth of hop character to complement the colder months. Featuring three succulent US hops — Belma, Simcoe and Idaho 7 — this Pale combines the pineapple juice of our selected hops with notes of melon and strawberry, and a classic hint of resin and pine finish. GINGER SODA x Root2Ginger Cloudwater enjoy collaborating with local producers in their hometown of Manchester who share their values of passion for tradition, taste, and community. So they were thrilled with the opportunity to work with the passionate team behind Root2Ginger. Founded by Deanne Blake, Root2Ginger boasts a family legacy rooted in the Caribbean! Generations of her family have passed down recipes, which Deanne has perfected through trial and error, passion, and instinct. The heart of Root2Ginger’s offerings lies in their drinks, crafted with care and authenticity.

MORE IS MORE An All - Star cast featuring: Citra, Idaho 7, Mosaic, Strata, Loral, El Dorado, Belma, Southern Cross, Talus and Zappa. & MORE TO COME! OVERTONE
SIDIOUS x Emperor's
Highly skilled in the dark side, the Emperor joined Overtone to brew this special imperial stout inspired by strength and power. They created a 13% rich stout with honey and demerara in the base before conditioning the beer on our main ingredient, tonka beans. Tonka is a magical ingredient with great powers of seduction, much that of Darth Sidious. The tonka enhances the rich and sweet flavours in the base while adding some spicy and nutty vanilla notes for a well-balanced stout. PIZZICATO Inspired by some of the greatest lagers made in Europe, this beer has taken its time to mature and mellow, becoming a thirst quenching, refreshing, quaffable drink that augers another sip, and another until it’s all gone. OOFT! The sound made when impressed by something! This HCDC Double NEIPA showcases the Citra hop in pellet, cryo and incognito form for a high density Citra charged beer! Full-bodied and hop forward with huge citrus and tropical fruit flavours. SOFT STATIC Using El Dorado and Idaho 7 hops to create an energetic pale ale with mango, pineapple and pink grapefruit flavours and a gentle amount of Sabro Cryo to impart creamy tangerine notes. Soft mouthfeel but intensely flavoured. WALLOWA A light west coast pale ale with zesty grapefruit, bitter lemon and some subtle spice and pine notes. NORTH
KOMEDA
Smooth, succulent, and super sip-able. Komeda brings aromas of zesty grapefruit and fresh crushed pine, with the additions of hops into the whirlpool. A beautiful combination of US and NZ hops; Azacca, Rakau and Mosaic Cryo, to heighten the flavours of white peach, sweet nectarine, and pink guava. North added oats to bring a gentle, soft finish to this mouth-watering Session IPA, balancing against the refreshing dry pithy notes. Komeda follows on from their recent DIPA release, Kosmische, and is affectionately known in the brewery as the younger sister – lower in ABV but just as delicious. TWO FLINTS
RIBBONS
This soft, juicy and eminently drinkable session strength pale ale punches welllll above its weight. Equal measures of Cashmere and Rakau provide intense stone fruit vibes, with notes of fleshy nectarine, peach rings, fig and lemon zest. LIGHT YEARS Pouring thick and hazy, this IPA is full to the brim with Nelson Sauvin with supporting acts from Mosaic and Simcoe. Expect wonderful dank fruit flavours of passionfruit and grape, with a hint of bubblegum with subtle background pepperiness. An absolute birthday banger. COSMIC DANCE Another celebratory rebrew of a maiden release, Cosmic Dance is soft and fluffy from plenty of oats and loaded with a beautiful blend of Motueka from two different hop providers, Freestyle and Clayton Hops as well as Motueka hop kief. Two Flints also got their hands on some super juicy Strata to back up those tropical and zesty lime aromas. It’s an IPA singing with flavours of lemongrass, kiwi and lime and green starburst. SONIC MUSE A rebrew of one of Two Flint's maiden releases, this westie is new school meets old school. Munich and Vienna malt bring some sweetness and amber colour, which is balanced by a firm, lingering but clean bitterness. Simcoe and Centennial pop with retro pine sap notes and grapefruit whilst a hot side addition of Idaho 7 introduces a touch of ripe mango. Talus in the dry hop offers the best of both worlds offering notes of orange zest and grapefruit. AZVEX
ALICE RINGS
Recently Azvex have been having some real success with NZ hops in their DIPAs, so they flipped them over into an IPA to create the amazing Alice Rings. Citra, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin & Motueka deliver that DIPA flavour and mouthfeel but in the lower IPA ABV range. COSMIC RADIATION It's been a little while since Azvex played around with the new hot hit hop Nectaron, so they thought that they would add a hefty dose into this IPA alongside Citra & Mosaic. A deadly combination! GRAVITY WELL
INNER SPACE: RASPBERRY RIPPLE
A new release in Gravity Well's Inner Space Smoothie series! Packed full of tart raspberries and smothered in sweet vanilla. INNER SPACE: MANGO, PASSIONFRUIT & PINEAPPLE A second new release in the Inner Space Smoothie series. Absolutely loaded with mango, passion fruit and pineapple.

BEACH All the fun and big hitting soft haziness you can handle. Lakes have packed in the best new NZ hops, Superdelic, Nectaron & Motueka Cryo which will have this beer popping with big tropical and citrus fruits. HEIST
VICTOR PIFFLE THREE CHOKEHOLD
Heist have deconstructed and reconstructed the classic whiskey old fashioned and taken it in a completely different direction with this barrel fermented sour. Layers of bright orange and earthy bourbon mix to leave you puzzled, right down to the last drop. RODGER SPLODGE TEN RUPERT 6 months of careful love is what it took to create this wonderful concoction. Heist fed locally sourced wildflower honey bit by bit into a deliciously rich imperial stout base for a velvety blend of dark, roasted, chocolatey flavours. With a slight sweetness that keeps everything lifted. One to share on a cold winter's eve. CHAT GPT MADE ME DO IT A sour beer that came to life through the whimsy of AI-generated recipes. Upon generating the perfect sour beer recipe tuned out to be very similar to their collaboration with Vocation - 'My Eyes Are Pies' - It was only fair to get the guys back for this one. With a blend of blackberry, blackcurrant and apple pie crumble flavours, it's a disgustingly moreish twist on a familiar favourite. WE'RE NOT THERE BUT WE'RE SOMEWHERE Trains, buses, taxis and lifts is what it took to get to this original collab so it was only fair to return the journey. Brewed with a blend of Vic Secret, Ella and Galaxy hops, it's a beer that leads your taste buds on a flavour expedition to an unknown destination. Like a whimsical journey without a map, this beer will have you savouring the mysteries of tropical and citrus notes. Cheers to the unknown! BEAK

BLIZZARD
Glasshouse love to throw some Nelson at an IPA, and you seem to love it too, so they've had a play and paired it with Citra and Mosaic. This 6.3% IPA absolutely bangs! Full on dank tropical fruit juice with that delicious grape that only Nelson gives. Gorgeous soft, fluffy body. CATCH THE MOON A delicious 4.8% Pale. We're getting a delightful combination of tropical fruits and orange vibes thanks to a dry hop of Simcoe and Azacca. This is incredibly easy drinking for those upcoming December nights. NEON RAPTOR
KRAMPUS NIGHT
‘Twas the night before Krampus and all through the brewery, the brewers were stirring something quite chew-ery! Neon Raptor have been brewing up imperial stouts for as long as they’ve been brewing and Christmas always feels like the right time to release a big scary beast. So, although Centaur Army and BA Centaur Army are on their merry way, they feel like they've been neglecting the flavours of the season. Here is Krampus Night, Neon Raptor's first seasonally themed imperial stout. This Krampus will beat your taste buds with deliciousness and will kidnap your heart with every sip, in a good way. This is Christmas pudding in a can, all rich dark fruity cakey stouty goodness. Keep away from bad (and good) children, this one is for naughty adults only!* *well, fine, nice adults can drink it too I guess, just don’t let the Krampus find out. SAY THE LINE BARTH Yaaay! This collab has been a long time coming, especially as Dan has local roots and Neon Raptor can often be found drinking pints of cask with him in Nottingham pubs when he pops over from Spain. After the delicious success of the Double IPA collaboration they brewed with Garage over in Barcelona earlier in the year, it made perfect sense to brew that style again. After all, Neon Raptor are in beer now, it’s their job to be repetitive, their job, their job, repetitiveness is their job. They put their lucky red hats together along with the hop merchants of Barth Haas X , and to a citrusy flurry of Mosaic and Simcoe they added Bru-1 Spectrum in the dry hop* for a full on tropical pineapple blast! Neon Raptor think you’ll all agree that this is a juicy woozle wuzzle of a Double IPA. RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY A delicious motherboard of hops are doing it right within this hazy IPA. It's an instantly crushable fruit salad! If you get lucky there's fragments of tangerine, peach, and pineapple flavours and aromas, and, one more, lime. Lose yourself to RAM. STAGGERINGLY GOOD
THICCC WRECKER

LONG STRETCH
Track have given one of their most loved styles the single hop treatment with one of their favourite hops, Mosaic. This Hop was meant for beers like this. Fresh, bright orange peel with a pronounced and lasting bitterness. FIELDS OF GOLD This IPA is the first in Europe to feature a brand new Hop from NZ Hops LTD new Bract Brewers Programme.

This beer floods over your palate with wave after wave of sweet, boozy coconut that lingers as you savour every morsel. HOLY GOAT
DOOM WITCH
BA Flanders Red with Strawberries. Inspired by Flanders Reds of old, Doom Witch is a blended sour red ale combining 80% provision strength ‘young’ stock beer aged in steel, with around 20% ‘mature’ stock beer aged in Scottish whisky barrels (Longmorn & North British). The combination of old and young beers has produced a complex sweet and sour flavour profile with a subtle oak character. This blended base was transferred onto the spent fruit (tayberries) and lees from Holy Goat's previous batch of Spectral Lore. They refermented this with a further 200g/l locally grown Scottish strawberries from 2023 harvest. All fruit was sourced from farms located within 30 miles of the brewery. Drink young or age, this will get weirder. DEYA
STOP MAKING SENSE
Big hit of frozen mango, orange and raspberry smoothie on first sniff. Orange and lime overtop a lean wheaty base. Clean and juicy finish with a lush dank pith……delicious. IT'S ONE OF THOSE It’s One of Those is a three-way release with the same base recipe, focussing on hop-growing regions. The New Zealand pale is a showcase of Nelson, Motueka, and Pacific Sunrise with tropical flavours of lime and grape. The Australian pale is a showcase of Galaxy, Eclipse, and Vic Secret with tropical flavours of white grape and mango. & The USA pale is a showcase of Strata, Azacca, and Citra with fruit punch flavours of orange and mango. A classic DEYA juice with some low-level dank. UNBARRED
ORANGE SKIES
Back to the classics, an easy-drinking Pale Ale of America’s West Coast, this is a style where balance between punchy, aromatic hop notes and solid drinkability is key. Orange Skies is a bright, aromatic 'Westie' brewed with El Dorado, Simcoe and Mandarina Bavaria hops and a generous helping of hand-zested oranges. At its heart, it is malty with a marmalade and pine bitterness. An abundance of grapefruit zest and sticky stone fruits with a salivating dry finish. Unbarred brewed this beer with London Bottle Shop royalty Ghost Whale, it’s an homage to their original Orange Pale Ale from way back in the early days of UnBarred. TARTARUS
Next week Tartarus are releasing not one but two Puca's
PUCA - 4.5% Oatmeal Stout COFFEE PUCA - 4.5% Oatmeal Stout Coffee Edition Rich, full bodied oatmeal stout brewed with copious amounts of dark malts for a big coffee & chocolate hit. Coffee version conditioned on coffee beans provided by Third Wave Roast. Both super yummy in their own way KEES
NEHALENNIA
Kees made this double cold IPA together with the Amsterdam brewery Walhalla Brewery. This beer is named after the Zeeland goddess Nehalennia. She was the protector of trade and seafaring. This double cold IPA is fresh, dry and firmly hopped. PASTRY TRAIN PECAN PIE The second station of the Pastry Train of Brouwerij Kees. This time a Pecan Pie!

This stout is brewed together with Rock City from Amersfoort. Strong, rich and powerful! DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT Licorice and coffee flavors in a can! Brewery Kees and Folkingebrew joined forces and made this delicious imperial pastry stout. Those Groningen brewers know how to brew beer (just like Kees)! BARREL PROJECT PEATED 2023 Here is another beautiful barrel project from Brouwerij Kees. This edition a thick Imperial stout that has been in Laphroaig barrels for 20 months. Perfectly balanced beer with flavors of the delicious peated single malt whiskey from the beating heart of the island of Islay. An exciting Imperial stout with a light smoke! CINNAMON ROLL A sweet collaboration between Brouwerij Kees and the Swedish brewery Närke Kulturbryggeri. This imperial stout was brewed more than a year ago and the beer has been in bourbon barrels all this time. Cinnamon, coffee, chocolate and bourbon, the madness, right? PASTORE
Pastore's "Winter Wild" series is on it's way!
SAKE KASU BEER 2023 x The Sparkling Sake Brewery One of Pastore's favourite beers from last year returns with some tweaks this month. For this year's edition they took the sake kasu (lees) from Naoki at The Sparkling Sake Brewery up the road from them in Little Downham and primary fermented some rice saison on it along with their mother culture of wild yeasts before ageing for a further six months on lees and finally bottle conditioning. The key difference from last year is the primary fermentation - last year's vintage was aged for a month on lees post stainless steel ageing. The primary ferm has brought lots more sake / rice fermentation character with lots of citrus esters & savoury elements. The beer is all together spritzy, rich, complex, acidic & dry! SANGUINETO x Husk Beer A blend of barrel aged golden wild ales on local cherries. Made with Husk Beer in Harrogate. They tasted through their barrel library in the summer with Danny & Immy from Husk to find some barrels that would work nicely in a British cherry blend. The blend they came up with was taken from Tawny Port and Sauternes barrels. They came together to give spices, vanilla & a touch of acetic acid that we love in their cherry wild ales. The resulting blend was rested on ~200 g/l of local cherries, halved and stones left in. The blend pours a rich blood red, low carb, bursting with notes of cherry, almond, vanilla & oak - a little funky, acidic & dry. SHEPHERD OF THE SITH x Emperor's Brewery A beer made a long time ago. Two and a half years ago in fact. Damian from Emperor's joined Pastore on a Saturday in June 2021 and they brewed a mighty double mash imperial stout. It was laid to rest in oak barrels with their mother culture of wild yeasts where in a dusty cobwebby corner of the brewery it underwent its slow transformation. The blend took a long time to realise its potential, undulating between phases of bitterness, richness & acidity before after two years settling into a lovely blend of the three. The final blend marries rich chocolate and soy from the cognac barrel with red fruit acidity and oak from the Fredericksdal cherry wine barrel. A feast for the senses and without a doubt one of the most complex beers Pastore have released. PUHASTE

STRATEGIC RESERVE 2 It wouldn't be a birthday if Azvex didn't revamp the original birthday beer! For this year’s base recipe, Azvex applied all they have learned about their dark beer this past year.

BELUGA
"The beluga, or white whale, is one of the friendliest species of whale. Their distinctive colour and prominent foreheads make them easily identifiable. Brew York have used this gentle giant as inspiration, their extra pale ale uses a large amount of pale malt, giving this beer a paler, brighter colour and crisper flavour. This is balanced with a bitterness from an eclectic mix of Cascade and Nelson Sauvin hops." CLOUDWATER

MIDWINTER Allow a little indulgence this Christmas as Cloudwater take the base of chocolate, and roast malt and add a little zest of orange in.

POLY CHROME
This one is as technicoloured as it's name suggests. Bright, vibrant yellow in the glass. It explodes across the senses like a passionfruit flavoured creme brulee. After the initial assault of tangy, tropical caramel comes soft white peach and cantaloupe. It's beautifully soft and pillowy; full of the taste of ripe peaches and cream. It's a cloud on your tongue, beautifully full and and so creamy that you could almost believe there's lactose in there, almost...WOW. NO FRILLS Pours crisp and clean with a beautiful pale yellow glow. It hides it's ABV behind a brilliant, bright wall of lemon-y, citrus-y, chicory bitterness. Clean aromas of lemon, red berries and sticky raspberry jelly are in abundance. It's oily, it's resinous with an extremely long and refreshingly bitter finish. SEASCAPE This super thick, super juicy DIPA was brewed in collaboration with Vitamin Sea Brewing in Massachusetts. It's thick like fresh mango custard with a beautiful creamy foam on top. It smells like a bouquet of soft, pink roses with honey, mint, and sticky sweet oranges. A zingy lemon sorbet sprinkled with lychee and fresh basil. An ocean of fantastic flavour. SPIRIT ANIMAL The smell of sweet, fresh strawberries explodes out of the glass. It's bursting with the giddy scents of summer; fresh cut grass, lillies, cherry blossom and fresh stone fruits. It pulls hard at your salivary glands with bright notes of grapefruit, pomelo and lime; rounded out with a hint of vanilla and some classic IPA hop bitterness. FLIPPERS FIZZ This Collab with Tripping Animals in sunny Miami is perfect for that Florida heat. It's smell is sticky with the heavy, sweet aroma of juicy ripe mangos and dried apricot. Pleasant earthy notes come through next giving the whole thing weight and complexity. Flavour wise it's fresh pineapple and lemon with some bubblegum sweetness. It's a whole mouthful, lovely and thick and juicy with an incredibly long and zesty lime finish.
On the 10th November we will be having a tap takeover to celebrate Basqueland's 8th Anniversary! There will also be a free third of Carmelo Joe 10% Imperial Stout available to the first purchasing customers until it runs out, so come and join us in drinking this beautiful keg selection...
CLOUDWATER
PROPER DIPA: SABRO
Using a yeast that’s thousands of generations old, Cloudwater are thrilled to be updating their popular early DIPA recipes with a fresh take.

POHJALA
BERRY GOOD
A jammy triple fruited sour ale brewed with blackberries, blueberries and raspberries. An initial jammy sweetness saturates the senses, as though biting into a juicy berry picked during peak season. Gentle acidity rounds out the taste, adding brightness to the beer, which further accentuates the jammy fruit character and brings forth the biscuity malt body. TWO FLINTS
BIG BELLA
Two Flints are thrilled to share with you their third biiig DIPA, Bella. This time they’ve gone for Nelson Sauvin and Motukea, plus a complex and innovative underpinning of hop products including a Hop Unlock thiolised yeast, Freestyle Super Sauvin (Nelson Sauvin with Phantasm powder) and Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief. They've played around with water and grist leaving a super soft, fluffy and drinkable DIPA. We're getting huge aromas of grape, Jolly Ranchers, strawberry laces, gooseberry and overripe mango. LILO This soft and luscious hazy pale is straw blonde in colour and packed with Citra and a touch of Azacca. We’re getting peach rings, pineapple chunks and a hint of dankness to balance the intense tropical fruit. Imagine yourself aimlessly floating around on a Lilo in still, serene tropical waters, with a can in hand. Bliss. GRIZZLY Clapton Craft have backed Two Flints since day one, so they were buzzing to get them down for a brew day and create a punchy west coast pale inspired by their iconic bear logo. Grizzly has a backbone of Pilsner malt combined with a touch of Vienna for perceived sweetness to give this easy drinker a solid base for the hops to shine. A lethal combo of Simcoe and Rakau provide fresh pineapple, apricot and zingy passion fruit whilst a small Chinook dry hop addition adds a touch of pine. An assertive but smooth bitterness, Grizzly is one to sink your claws into. BREW YORK

THE REDEMPTION OF VANITY
Azvex had a little trademark blip with Vantablack but fear not, here is something even better... They have been putting a bit of work into their dark beer recently and this was the perfect opportunity to make good use of their findings and produce a better peanut based stout. The Redemption of Vanity is a Peanut Butter Brownie Imperial Stout coming in at 13% ABV and is as good as they have done to date. RENAISSANCE TANKS With Renaissance Tanks Azvex ramped up that clean piney bitterness for you westy fans. Lotus, Chinook & Strata provide the artillery for this masterpiece. TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES For this West Coast Session IPA they changed protocols and used an old German lager strain to ferment out the beer, leaving a refreshing and crisp base for the Chinook, Idaho 7 and Azacca hops to shine on. This one is so clean and so so drinkable. ROBOT WOLF In case you didn't notice, Azvex's fave hop is the fantastic Citra. They thought that they should make a beer that really showcased this fabulous hop so they came up with Robot Wolf.

SLANG DU JOUR: WILDBERRY CINNAMON ROLL
Wildberry Cinnamon Roll Slang Du Jour is the flavor combo you didn’t know you needed in your life but we’re here, it’s freaking delicious, and there’s no going back now. Wildberry Cinnamon Roll Slang Du Jour is absolutely stuffed with Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Strawberry, and then they hit it with a little cream cheese, cinnamon, shortbread and lactose for a creamy, tart, sweet but not too sweet, somewhat familiar but also new & exciting flavor. WITH ALL YOUR POWER With All Your Power DIPA is brewed with a bunch of oats and hopped with Talus and HBC 586 so it’s just oozing with strawberry, pineapple, and grapefruit aroma and bursting with dark cherry, blueberry, mango, and grapefruit zest flavors. SYNAPTIC CLEFT A big, soft double IPA built on a huge base of oats and wheat and hopped with Motueka, Moutere, Citra, and Belma for some massive citrus, stone fruit, & berry flavors with just the right amount of bitterness to perfectly balance it all out. YABBA DABBA PRRRT NOW The remixed and revamped version of our first ever PRRRT! It’s a fruited sour packed with Fruity Pebbles cereal, vanilla ice cream, cherry, tangerine, lemon, lime, lactose and vanilla beans for a flavor that’s straight outta Bedrock! |
