Kitchen rebuild to begin at The Warehouse
• Shades (5.9% ABV) is a modern export porter from Beak. “Expect rich notes of pine, coffee, and dark chocolate, layered with aromas of bourbon, fresh tobacco, spumy Dale-side rivers, damp Lewesian cobblestones, and winter hearths at dawn,” says the brewer. “Yes, really.”
• West Walls have collaborated with Crooked River on Double Vision, an 8% ABV DIPA. Rakau and Riwaka hops, from New Zealand, bring ripe stonefruit, passionfruit, and a snap of lime, wrapped up in a pillowy, smooth finish.
• Northern Monk’s Faith is marking its tenth anniversary by teaming up with New York icons Other Half, for a merger of Faith with their ‘All … Everything’ series. It’s a thick and juicy DDH DIPA at 8.2% ABV, packed with Citra and Mosaic.

Pints can power change, says Bristol brewer
• Vienna Flight, a 5% ABV IPA, is fresh off the Bristol Beer Factory canning line. Balancing the big caramel biscuit base is a touch of grapefruit citrus. Think the classic sweetness of Independence with the IPA power of Southville, says the brewer. It’s hopped with the iconic US trio of Amarillo, Simcoe, and Columbus.
• Badger Redshift is on Hall and Woodhouse bars as autumn gets under way. “Auburn-hued and full-bodied, Redshift blends rich crystal malts with fruity Harlequin and Solero hops for a flavour that’s smooth, warming, and a little otherworldly,” says the brewer.
• Oktoberfestoon is Amity Brew Co’s 2025 Festbier. It has been created specially for their two week long Oktoberfest celebration in Farsley. Citrus, honey and caramel flavours swirl around and aromas of baked apple and vanilla combine.

• Looks Like Muskrat Love is a new small pale (3.4% ABV) from Pomona Island. Modern, juicy, and hop forward, it offers bright aromas of mojito and orange zest. On the palate, it’s ripe mangoes and clementine, with lime saturated peaches on the finish.
• Bluntrock have collaborated with Campervan on Stressy Man, a 6.8% ABV hazy IPA. It features three lesser-known hops: Elani, supplied by Crosby Hops, along with Luminosa and Meridian, supplied by Indie Hops. There are aromas and flavours of candied orange, ripe peach, and mango flesh, and strawberry flavoured fruit pastels.
