• Mosaic is the second brew in SALT’s 2026 Vermont series of beers. “At an easy-drinking 4.7% ABV, this XPA delivers bursts of juicy mango, blueberry, and citrus peel, all wrapped up in an extra crisp, refreshing finish,” says the brewer.

• Boost, a 4% ABV pale ale, is the latest beer to be added to DEYA’s core range. It features Nelson Sauvin and Motueka hops from the Moutere Valley, in New Zealand, backed up by Citra. Expect notes of juicy limes, passionfruit, and tropical funk.

• High Voltage, from Vocation, is a full-throttle 10.5% ABV IPA built to deliver serious impact without sacrificing finesse. Smooth, hazy, and full-bodied, it offers waves of ripe fruit up front, a plush mouthfeel through the middle, and a lingering citrus finish.

• Padstow has followed up Pacific Coaster with… Pacific Coaster 2. This time around, the 5% ABV West Coast IPA is hopped with Citra, Chinook, and Cascade for flavours of citrus and pine with some tropical notes and a slightly elevated (but not overpowering) level of bitterness.

• Elmo (6% ABV) is a new IPA from Vibrant Forest, taking its name from the first two letters of the names of its hops, El Dorado and Mosaic. Expect waves of mango, pineapple, and citrus in a thick juicy body.

• The Church Inn, Matlock, has re-opened following refurbishment. A total of £70,000 has been spent by licensees Alan and Suzanne Campbell and pub owner Admiral Taverns. The landlords will be organising regular entertainment, and also hosting charity events.
