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. This time they’ve used the distinctive and bold hop Sabro from the States, which has massive flavours of coconut, creamy vanilla, sweet lime and tropical fruits balanced with a resinous finish. 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

HE CAN PLAY THE HONKY TONK LIKE ANYTHING
Check out my fruit gose. It’s got all the fruits. Guava... LEFTY SCISSORS Why do you consider Sabro your enemy? It stabbed you in your back with creamy coconut, and complex citrus and tropical notes? And that hint of mint? Well Citra Cryo and a huge dose of Vic Secret take the lead here, and Sabro adds all of that flavour with delicate precision, balancing out the whole affair beautifully. Not on board? I don’t care. Why should I? Nobody else does.

Tartarus then added vanilla & almond to replicate the flavours of the frangipane dessert. OVERTONE
PARABOL
This imperial stout was brewed with 11 types of malts including chocolate wheat and coffee malt then finished with Belgian candy syrup. The beer was then aged in American bourbon barrels for 12 months before being conditioned on Cacao Nibs. PLACES OF LIGHT A bright pale ale based on the same hop-bill as one of Overtone's classic IPAs, Northern Hemisphere. A strong tropical aroma matching the immediate tropical flavour hit, with some enjoyable subtle spice and bitter notes to finish. HONEY POP Transforming one of their highest rated TIPAs, Heavy Pop, into their honey DIPA series. The hop bill provides a juicy blend of passion fruit, sweet berries, papaya and a slight twist of bubblegum while Scottish honey adds a subtle honey flavour and a lot smoothness. JUKE BOX HERO Overtone's first time experimenting with CGX hops called for the experts. Northern Monk joined them to brew this exciting juicy number using Idaho 7 and Strata in CGX form to intensify all flavours from their original pellet form. On a thick juicy based, Idaho 7 CGX enhances a balance of tropical and piney flavours while Strata CGX promises passion fruit, strawberry and some "Rock Concert Cannabis" notes. PUGET SOUND A westie with a modern hop twist. Meridian adds some brightness to theis citrus-charged beer while Sultana maintains a strong traditional piney character.

Huge flavours of juicy tropical fruits and some bursts of fresh citrus. PLAYING ROBOTS A smooth drinking DIPA with a strong aroma of pineapple and lime zest. Flavours of passion fruit, lemon and peach burst through the dominance of sweet pineapple. GOLD 'N' GOSE A triple exotic fruited gose with Golden Berry, Prickly Pear and Passion Fruit, Blackthorn Sea Salt and Indian Coriander Seeds. Crisp, tart, sparkling and tangy. PORRIDGE ON THE RADIO A proper stout with 12 different malts to create depth, but at an easy going 6% to allow for a nice long session as we greet colder weather. Sweet, deep and rich, but with a cleaner less viscous finish than you’d expect.

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. An unbelievably drinkable 5.2 % Pale Ale hopped exclusively with (you guessed it) Citra! ST MARS OF THE DESERT

CONSEQUENCES x Queer Brewing
This one's been a long time in the works. The recipe development was played like a game of Consequences with the recipe passed between Lily (Queer Brewing Founder and Brewer) and Gareth (DEYA's Head Brewer). Deya's first use of Nectaron…used on the dry hop, paired with some Citra in the whirlpool.. Aroma is a big hit of papaya, candied pineapple and high grade orange squash. The taste is mango, pineapple and watermelon with some light sweet cereal peeking through. Lush!

SOUTHERN SUN
Using a brand new Hop to them, Superdelic - a really exciting NZ Hop, that they think gives off lots of sweet mango and fresh berries. They've partnered it Citra, Citra Cryo and Mosaic for a full juice kick. A super quaffable hazy Pale Ale. GLASS MOON Track's first ever DDH West Coast IPA. Super bright and with a lot of zip. They packed this one full of Citra, Mosaic & Galaxy. We get bitter orange, peppery passion fruit, tart grapefruit and notes freshly cut grass. LUSEN Lusen is drawn from the imagination of Track's Head Brewer Matt, and utilises fresh frozen whole cone Spalter from Pro Hops. They built a big malt base, hit it with Saaz in the whirlpool, before dry hopping it with the fresh Spalter cones. The result is a 7.2% Imperial Pilsner, that gives off fresh honey bread, sweet brioche, light spice and a deep, gentle, warmth. Something to savour. X Fast Fashion FRACTURED SMILE For the first beer in this series, Track had to go big, and big they went with their friends from Fast Fashion beer. They sent Track a box full of their fresh experimental hop Anchovy, which they partnered alongside Nelson, Nelson Hop Kief & Nectaron. Big notes of overripe melon, tart gooseberry and orange. Super hazy and heavy on the Rolled Oats & Wheat to give maximum mouth feel. They say this will be a slow project, that they will bring forward every time the stars (hops) align and Track feel they can bring you something special in concept and taste. SAFE SIDE Track have been working away behind the scenes on their IPAs. Slight tweaks here and there, with the vision of producing a beer that hits all the high notes that they love about this style. They are very happy to report that Safe Side is on point. An abundance of juicy tropical fruits, grapefruit, orange, and passionfruit with a pillowy soft mouthfeel. Citra, Nelson & Rakau coming together to deliver the goods on this delicious IPA. X Equilibrium LIME SCIENCE Lime Science takes inspiration from Equilibrium's first lime pilsner and adds a few process tweaks. Using experimental pilsner yeast, maize, and lime-forward Motueka as the base, Equilibrium finished this beer with lime juice and lime zest. Small enough to enjoy all day, we are getting crisp aromas of margarita and zesty limeade with punchy flavors of lime juice drink, clean citrus, 7-Up/Sprite vibes, and a hoppy brightness, all complemented by a snappy dry finish. As thirst-quenching as it is delicious, the science checks out on this newest creation, making this the summer crusher you needed. DEYA
