Track Zonal

• Beer three in Track’s 11th anniversary series of collaborations has arrived in the form of Zonal, a 7.2% ABV DDH West Coast IPA created with DosKiwis, from Girona in Cataluña. It has been hopped with Riwaka and Motueka.

Black Iris Dark

Black Iris have collaborated with Dark Element on Hellbound, an 8.4% ABV DIPA. “Hopped with Citra, Motueka, and Nectaron to bring you those tropical fruit vibes to keep you warm through the dark cold of winter,” say the brewers.

Bluntrock Mr Milksop

• There’s a new brew of Bluntrock’s Mr Milksop, a 5% ABV milk stout. It’s a chocolatey, rich stout, featuring layers of caramel, crystal, and roasted malts, along with loads of jumbo oats. “The complex malt base combination gives it an indulgent, milky and smooth mouthfeel,” says the brewer, “which is rounded off with a warming, roasty bitterness.”

Thornbridge Panela

• Panela(7% ABV) is the result of a Thornbridge collaboration with Pura Panela, a Sheffield company sourcing the dehydrated juice of the same name, derived from sugar cane through a rustic, artisanal process. “We’ve combined it with high-quality Colombian coffee, adding both to our classic porter recipe, creating a complex and layered beer with a phenomenal flavour profile,” says the brewer.

Overtone Compression

• Compression (4.5% ABV) is a canned nitro stout from Overtone. Light, smooth and easy drinking, it has a velvety finish. It is brewed with Scottish malt for a smooth body and gentle roast notes.

Ship Inn Simon Cruickshank

• The Ship Inn, Stonehaven, owned by Simon Cruickshank, has been sold to… Simon Cruickshank. Remarkably, the new owner — the owner of three highly successful Aberdeen hospitality venues — is no relation. And just to maintain the theme, the new owner is himself the son of long-established Aberdeen publican Simon Cruickshank Snr.

New Bristol Neon Raptor

• The second of New Bristol’s Christmas stout collaborations is a Maple Bacon Pancake Stout (6% ABV), created with Neon Raptor. “Stacks of smoked malt were used to bring notes of smokey bacon in this delicious winter warming pastry stout,” say the brewers.

Vocation Nutcracker

• The Nutcracker is a rich and comforting chestnut and vanilla winter ale from Vocation, coming in at 5.5% ABV. With warming notes of chestnut, vanilla, and gentle seasonal spice, it is smooth and slightly sweet.

Track Keep

• Ours To Keep (4.8% ABV) is a fresh pale from Track. “A soft, pillowy pale ale that brings together two of our favourite hop varieties, Mosaic and Galaxy!” says the brewer. “A simple malt base allows the hops to shine through with passionfruit, tangerine, peach iced tea, and grapefruit peel.”
