• DEYA and Beak have collaborated on Driving That Train (8% ABV), described as a bright IPA. Hopped with Citra Dynoboot, Centennial, Nelson Sauvin, Citra Hyperboot, Motueka HopKief, and Nelson HopKief, you can expect a medley of tropical fruit, orange, and lime, with a zippy, clean finish.

• Necessary Evil, Thornbridge’s 13% ABV single malt English whisky barrel-aged stout, named world’s best flavoured beer at the World Beer Awards, is back. This version has been aged in White Peak English whisky barrels for eight months. Initial notes of chocolate, vanilla, and orchard fruit from the barrel are gradually followed by the faintest hint of liquorice and peat on the finish.

• Through The Lens (5.5% ABV) is a new DDH pale from Left Handed Giant. Hopped with Citra, Galaxy, and Strata, it’s full of naked oats and spelt on a super pale base. A hum of green leaves and strawberry tops with some sharp overtones of citrus peel.

• The Loral hop is the star of Siren’s latest ‘Suspended In’ beer, a hazy pale ale coming in at 4% ABV. Expect an aroma of floral and herbal notes, with a hint of citrus and underlying stonefruits.

• Three in a Row (4% ABV), an American brown ale, is a new special from Oakham. Smooth, dark, rich malt flavours combine with plenty of hop character and a clean bitterness. There are floral, earthy, and sweet fruit aromas and flavours, plus notes of spicy and aromatic cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper.

• It’s been elusive for a couple of years, but now Stancill’s Pimpernel is back. It’s described as a hearty 4% ABV pale with currant flavours and a woody aroma.

• Tartarus have revealed their first two releases of 2025. Snow Wasset (5.5% ABV) is a maple and pecan hot chocolate stout, while Sasnakali (8.4% ABV) is a caramel peanut butter cup stout.

• There’s a new brew of Vibrant Forest’s Inaudible, a 5% ABV hazy IPA. Anoat-laden base welcomes buckets of Chinook, Simcoe, and Talus hops. Expect a soft mouthfeel with hints of pine and stonefruits, and a gentle herbaceous finish.
