NEWS IN BRIEF
• There are two new brews from Docks Beers. Rock The Kazbah (5% ABV) brewed with southern hemisphere hops for flavours of melon, passionfruit, dank citrus, orgeat, and over-ripe peach. After Hours (5.5% ABV) is a smooth chocoate and orange stout with a zesty kick.
• Isle of Man-based hospitality group Heron and Brearley has appointed former Liberation Group chief executive Mark Crowther as its chairman. Mark also chairs Portobello Pub Co and Pub People.
• Shaky Tail (5.6% ABV) from Polly’s is described as “a love letter to one of the true superstar hops”, Simcoe. Expect apricot, passionfruit, and citrus notes bursting out, before being reeled back by earthy pine bitterness.
• Glass container manufacturer Croxsons has joined Giving What We Can’s 10% Pledge, committing at least 10% of its net profits to local and global charities.
• Flora (5.5% ABV) is a new IPA from Newbarns. Super crispy, it’s hopped with hopped with Azacca, Chinook, Cascade, and plenty of Nelson Sauvin
• Eight Arch has released a new brew of Square Logic, a 4.2% ABV pale ale. “It’s everything you need for a go-to pale ale, filled with Citra and Mosaic, producing plenty of tropical goodness,” says the brewer.
• The Warehouse Taproom Bar and Restaurant, in Setchey, Norfolk, is temporarily closed following a kitchen fire. The other businesses on site, including Beers of Europe, are undamaged and open for business as usual.
• Track has collaborated with Crosby Hops and Hop Revolution on Double Denim (8.2% ABV), a double-dry-hopped DIPA hopped with Idaho 7 T90 and CGX, and Nelson Sauvin T90 and CGX. “We first brewed the original recipe a little over two years ago and loved it so much that we had to revisit it and make it bigger and better than ever,” says the brewer.
• Abyss is marking its third anniversary with Triptych (5% ABV), a double-dry-hopped pale. Hopped with Citra and Idaho 7, it offers a triple hit of tangerine, pine, and passionfruit.
• Frills (3.8% ABV) is a zesty and spicy German pilsner from Electric Bear. Light-bodied and golden-coloured, with a malty base, it’s floral on the nose, with a crisp and bitter finish.
• Woodforde’s Christmas seasonal Tinsel Toes (4.4% ABV) is back. Ruby red in colour, full of rich and spicy fruit flavours.
• Northern Monk has collaborated with Roland’s bar, in Harrogate, on a French Martini Pale Ale (5.7% ABV). “Think fruity, smooth and velvety but with a sharp backbone,” says the brewer.
• Pomona Island has collaborated with Transylvania’s Blackout Brewing on No I’m… Doesn’t, a 5.3% ABV blackberry, blackcurrant, blueberry, and lime sour. Also new is Soylent Green, a 5.7% ABV pale double-dry-hopped with Citra Cryo and Citra T90.
• Verdant’s cult DIPA Don’t Tell Gus (8% ABV) now has a smaller brother, Gus Knows, a 6.5% ABV IPA. Both are hopped with Citra, Mosaic, Enigma, and Idaho 7 for punchy, fruit-forward aromas a flavour.
• There are two new sours from Pastore, Crumbe (5% ABV) and Double Crumble (7.5% ABV). The former is packed with rhubarb, orange, ginger, and almond making for a mouthwatering blend of earthiness, citrus and spice. The latter is an evolution of a recipe that was a big hit last autumn and at the Cambridge CAMRA Beer Festival earlier this year, big on apples and maple syrup.
• Made of Stone, a 10% ABV American imperial stout, is new from Overtone. Hopped with Cascade and Columbus, it offers rich coffee with dark chocolate undertones. Also new is Shuffle, a 4.5% ABV pale ale hopped with Azacca, Ariana, Huell Melon, and Lotus.
• Feels Like Summer (6.5% ABV) is Left Handed Giant’s latest hazy IPA. It’s hopped with Krush, Columbus Cryo, and Cashmere. Formerly known as HBC 586, Krush is a variety that oozes rich Alphonso mango.
