9 years. 9 rotations around the sun.
A lot has happened in craft beer over these 9 years than we ever could have imagined. Styles have been brewed that would have been unthinkable, boundaries have well and truly been pushed, and craft beer is now more accessible than ever. Track also moved from their small railway arch setup over 2 years ago, to a much bigger space - almost tripling their output, with a beautiful taproom on-site welcoming anyone and everyone to the freshest Track beer available. There’s only one way they can think to celebrate surviving this long, and that’s by brewing beers which they truly believe you will love, and Track love planning and dialing in to perfection. They are sure it’s of no surprise that they decided on three big hop-forward offerings in the form of; TOUCH - Birthday 2023 DDH IPA w/ Citra Incognito, Citra T90, Citra Cryo & Peacharine, 7% WAVE - Birthday 2023 DDH DIPA w/ Citra Cryo, Citra Spectrum, Citra T90, Nelson Sauvin T90 & Moutere, 8% TRANSITION - Birthday 2023 DDH Gold Top DIPA w/ Citra T90, Citra Cryo, Nectaron, Nelson Sauvin Sub Zero Hop Kief & Nelson Sauvin CGX, 8.4% LEFT HANDED GIANT
BLENDER FORMATION
Blender is LHG's barrel program, blending styles, fruits and barrels in the City of Bristol.

EXPAND THE CLOUDS Hazy DIPA with Citra, Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron Layers and layers of white grape, passion fruit, pineapple and grapefruit combine to help LHG push their interpretation of this style to it's limit. With their heaviest addition of oats and wheat yet, this provides a huge creamy texture and base for the structured sweetness to follow. WHAT A LIFE Hazy IPA with Simcoe, Superdelic & Motueka This is an exciting time for us as LHG showcase the incredible new hop, Superdelic for the very first time! Known for delivering red fruit, citrus and tropical notes, it's easy to pick up on fresh lychee and key lime pie, alongside warming peach. With a candied sweet nuance, and with white pepper softly shifting towards a balanced finish with a lovely bitterness, they're very happy to share this beer with you! SURESHOT

KEN LEE
Ken Leeeeeeeee tulibadiba dry hopped pale with Citra and Simcoe. CAN YOU GIVE ME A THRILL x Elmeleven Can you give me a Raspberry, Blackberry & Lingonberry Gose? MOVING LIKE A TORTOISE x Black Iris It’s crazy to see, West Coast IPA’s be what society wants them to be, but not me. An old school expression with Magnum, Crystal, Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin. BREW YORK
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
I WISH IT COULD BE CITRUS EVERYDAY
Cloudwater have taken their years of expertise in sessionable hoppy pale ales and plied them all into this 4.3% pale. A big dose of Citra with their trademark soft pillowy body means this is a perfect winter sipper for folks not willing to sacrifice flavour around the holidays. 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. The result is a supremely drinkable stout, with a little added brightness from the orange. These beers are designed to be a comfortable accompaniment to any Christmas merriment! So treat yourself, it is Christmas after all. ZWICKL Zwickl is a traditionally unfiltered, unpasteurized, German classic that finishes as a smooth-drinking, naturally cloudy beer.

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.
