Crafty Devil Thunder

• Waiting For The Thunder (5.2% ABV) is a “juicy beast” of a DDH pale ale from Crafty Devil. Hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Galaxy, it’s bursting with citrus, mango, and a hint of white grape.

Overtone Mellow

• The first two releases in a new Overtone Special Edition series are out. There’s a re-release for Double Magic, an 8% ABV DIPA. And fresh from the canning line is Mellow, a 4% ABV pale ale. Citra, Simcoe, and Cascade hops give it a light, balanced, and refreshing character.

Pastore Norma

• Norma (5% ABV) is a nod to pop culture from Pastore. The cherry, tayberry, maple, and pecan pie sour is inspired by the comforting baked treats purveyed by the eponymous Norma at the Double R Diner.

Newbarns Billie

• HopWalk (4.1% ABV) is Oakham’s green hop ale, this year featuring Charles Faram’s Ernest variety. Uk grown, but with pronounced New World characteristics, Ernest delivers complex flavours and predominantly fruity notes of apricot, citrus, and spice.

Twisted Veteran

Veteran, Twisted’s 4.2% ABV autumn ale, is back. The beer is released annually, to raise funds for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal. A sum of 5p per pint is donated to the Services charity.

Beak Palette

• Palette is a fresh hazy IPA from Beak. Brewed with a vibrant trio of hops – Strata, Motueka, and Luminosa – this one’s all about juicy pink grapefruit, lush passionfruit, and a zing of lemon-lime cordial.

Polly's Lone Moon

• Lone Moon (10% ABV) is a fresh triple IPA from Polly’s. “With the freshest possible crops of Nectaron, Strata, Simcoe, Citra, and Motueka all working in perfect harmony, expect a punchbowl of intense passionfruit, peach, berries, and bubblegum sweetness,” says the brewer, “backed up with dank weed notes and herbal complexity to stop this beer falling into cloyingly sweet territory.”

Docks Tom Hanson

• Tom Hanson has been named as the new head brewer at Docks Beers. Originally from just outside Scunthorpe, he has spent a large part of his brewing career at Young Master Brewery, in Hong Kong, rising to become director of brewing operations across two sites. Collaborating wth breweries including Cloudwater, Lervig, and Northern Monk, his leadership also helped Young Master secure dozens of international awards, including Barth Haas Champion Large Size Brewery of Asia in 2020.

Attic Lunar

• Attic has launched Lunar, a 5.8% ABV chocolate honeycomb stout. “Brewed with our friends at Brewser Beer as their Discovery Brewery this October, we went big with this drop, which tastes just like a creamy Crunchie,” says the brewer.
