• Kirkstall has collaborated with Leeds United fanzine The Square Ball on Lowfields Lager (4.6% ABV). The can design celebrates the Lowfields Tunnel, near Elland Road, where TSB have been selling their zines and merchandise, and championing LUFC for more than 35 years.

• Fig & Cherry Imperial Stout (10.5% ABV) is new from Polly’s. “With a huge addition of fresh morello cherries and figs, this beer has huge dark chocolate and raisin notes that befit the style, with more mellow fruits lying underneath,” says the brewer.

• Drop Project has collaborated with betting company Midnite on a beer to celebrate the Snooker World Championship. The one-off lager is being served at The Graduate, a pub a short walk from The Crucible, in Sheffield, where the tournament is taking place.

• Sprechen Sie Talk? (5.2% ABV) is a new West Coast pale from Pomona Island, hopped with Cryo Mosaic, Simcoe, and Centennial. Light bodied and spritzy, with pronounced berry notes on the aroma, there’s good bitter balance to the fruit-forward hoppy notes, and a dry, piney finish.

• Northern Monk is official beer partner of the Three Peaks race, on 26th April, and of course they’ve created a beer to mark this. It’s a 3.4% ABV crisp golden ale with a bespoke Three Peaks label. “Expect grapefruit upfront, backed by tropical notes, and that classic piney, bitter flavour,” says the brewer.

• Beak have collaborated with Canadian brewery Messorem on Some Good Drops, an 8% ABV DIPA. Brewed with oats and wheat, it’s heavily hopped with Citra, Citra Cryo, and Motueka for a thick mouthfeel and flavours of mango, passionfruit, lychee, lime zest, and lemon pavlova.

• Language Barrier (12.5% ABV), from Track, is an imperial stout with coconut, vanilla, and coffee, aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for more than 36 months. “Fresh additions of espresso coffee and flaked coconut before bottling complement the unctuous notes of warming bourbon, caramel, and gooey chocolate brownie,” says the brewer.

• Shiny Things, from Powder Monkey, marks the release of new music of the same name by the brewery’s marketing and sales manager Kate Harding. The 4.8% ABV West Coast pale has an amber body, caramel-like sweetness, and a dry-hop combination of Amarillo and Citra, bringing an intense aroma of sweet citrus with some tropical notes. The aroma is boosted with a Centennial hop extract giving orange citrus and hints of pine.

• Tartarus have released two new barrel-aged brews. Herne The Hunter (12.2% ABV) is a tiramisu imperial stout, brewed with vanilla, coffee beans, and chocolate, and aged in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for 20 months. King Arthur (13.2% ABV) is a sweet barley wine brewed with golden syrup for more character. Ageing in a Rioja barrel has given the beer a woody character with spicy red wine notes.
