• 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.
• How topical. AI Generated Beer Name is a 4.8% ABV pale from Electric Bear. Krush lays down juicy peach and soft tropical fruit, Motueka brings a bright hit of clementine and lime zest, while Dolcita Cryo sharpens things up with punchy sweetness and a subtle dank edge.

• Beware of the Leopard (5.5% ABV), from Pomona Island, is a pale verging on an IPA, hopped with Cryo Mosaic, Azacca, and Simcoe. With aromas of wild berries and bay leaves, the palate offers a more tropical profile with under-ripe mango and pineapple, and a finish of fresh bay.
• Cold Kingdom is a new 6.5% ABV hazy IPA from Left Handed Giant. Hopped with Motueka, El Dorado, and Citra, it has generous additions of rolled and porridge oats to help create a signature texture that’s creamy and indulgent. Expect notes of lime, peach, and watermelon granita.
• DEYA has released two new beers in its Something Good series, a rotating hoppy beer series exploring new ingredients, techniques, and processes. Something Good 21 is a 5.5% ABV pale ale, and 22 is a 6.5% ABV IPA. Both are hopped with Mosaic, El Dorado, and Krush.
