• A 4.5% ABV apple and blackberry crumble sour is the latest beer in Ossett’s Lab Rat series. Just like the dessert, it brings a sharp snap of apple and juicy blackberries, finished off with the sweetness you’d expect from the classic crumble topping.

• 71 Brewing have introduced Winsome Wee Thing, a 3.8% ABV Scottish heavy, in time for Burn’s Night. Dark, sweet, and malty, the beer offers notes of toffee, caramel, and molasses.

• Zero Visibility (0.5% ABV) is Docks Beers’ first alcohol-free beer. A hazy pale ale brewed to deliver full flavour without the booze, it’s soft, smooth, and packed with citrus brightness and stonefruit notes.

• Aurora Blush (5% ABV) is Polly’s take on a vanilla oatcream pale. “Featuring a robust dry-hop charge of lifeblood hop Mosaic, alongside one of the most sought-after hops in the world in Rakau, this beer drips with apricot, passionfruit, fig, and bubblegum notes, backed up with a lashing of fresh vanilla to amplify the fluffiness and mouthfeel of this incredible pale ale,” says the brewer.

• Sync Rate, from Amity, is a 4.8% ABV American red ale that fuses deep caramel malts with sharp, resinous hop energy. Pouring a deep, ruby red, it’s packed with a toasty sweetness from the malts, while flavours and aromas of bright pine and citrus lock in.

• There’s a limited amount of Thornbridge Necessary Evil, a 13% ABV stout which has been aged in Cognac barrels for eight months. The character of candied fruit and light spice from the cognac works beautifully to complement the silky and complex imperial stout, says the brewer.
