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
Mango, Pineapple, Ginger, Coconut Cream, Milk Sugar. Staggeringly Good's brand new, limited edition Thiccc Sauce collaboration comes bursting from the molten rivers of the temple of fruit doom.

SLAYED SLEIGH WRECKER Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry, Blackberry, Coconut Cream, Milk Sugar. Coco-Claus is on a berry-bruising, nut busting rampage with this seasonal addition to their no holds barred Wrecker series! Outrageous festive fruit filth that screams 'yippee ki yay!' when you crack the can. TRACK
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. The Hop is NZ-101 and is currently being trial-phased with breweries all across the world. A super juicy IPA, that is brimming with tropical fruits. Tonnes of fresh mango, sweet papaya, and tinned peaches. Ultra low bitterness allows this hop to really express it's character, giving an almost candy like quality. LANGUAGE BARRIER Take a little time to yourself & pour yourself a slice of this unctuously thick, rich delight. Loaded with desiccated coconut & cacao nibs plus processes that boost flavour & mouthfeel that Track have been perfecting throughout their journey into the stout country. Prepare for full-frontal coconut & chocolate assault, balanced by coffee & cocoa bitterness alongside a smooth boozy warmth. 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

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! Taste sweet flavors of the stout combined with the nutty pecan flavors. The Pastry Train runs past various stations with only the tastiest pastries and desserts from all over the world. Four times a year the train arrives at a special place for the perfect pastry. What would be the next stop? COFFEE IS MY FAVOURITE COLOUR More than just an imperial stout! A pitch black imperial coffee stout, strong in taste, body and high in alcohol. The addition of coffee beans makes it the perfect beer for the coffee lover. 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
HEART MELTER
A fruited sour brewed with raspberry, peach and apricot, made in collaboration with Bereta brewery. Sour raspberry stands out in the aroma, with the soft fruity qualities of apricot and peach mixed in the background. The taste is distinctly sour, with a full-bodied texture showing the berry fruitiness of raspberry, yellow plums and apples, peaches and nectarines, and the delicate sweetness of apricot ties the flavours together.

Overtone used a balance of Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Mosaic hops in the mash and first dry hop for an overall well-balanced IPA with strong mango and sweet berry flavours, then finished the beer off with Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief to enhance the white wine aromas and fresh gooseberry notes. A HEAVENLY POP HIT Overtone have been desperate to use Peacharine hops since they first tried them. With it's strong juicy peach flavours they decided to use it in a sessionable pale ale at 5% putting Peacharine at the forefront. They enhanced the bright nectarine and lemon flavours with a little late addition of Pacific Sunrise to bring together this highly thirst-quenching juicy pale. THINKING ORANGE The latest in their ice cream smoothie sour series, this time with bright orange and sweet mandarin juice added for full on orange creamsicle flavour. AZVEX
Azvex are turning 2!

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

GLUH SOUR
A cherry glüh sour made with Coolhead brew from Finland. Pastore hosted Jamie from Coolhead last month to make a mixed culture pastry sour made using a similar method to their nordic sours. Both breweries co-ferment with Lactobacillus leading to a vibrant acidity across their sour beers. Glüh Sour was made with a vast amount of cherries and spiced with cardamom, cinnamon and vanilla. Based on mulled wine and glüh kriek. A lovely spiced winter beer. BLUEBERRY COBBLER The next in their winter series is a blueberry cobbler pastry sour made with blueberries, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla. Tangy, spiced, juicy blueberry goodness. MARGARITA MELA The final beer in Pastore's winter sour trio is a spiced apple margarita sour! Using one of their favourite base sour beers for the margarita with sea salt in the boil and lime juice in the fermentation, they then added a vast amount of apples & cinnamon. FUERST WIACEK
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...
