Oakham Belma

• With soft citrus, sweet and red berry characteristics, and inviting aromas of pineapple, melon, and strawberry, Belma (4% ABV) is the second January seasonal from Oakham. Belma is a hop variety close to the brewer’s heart, bred and cultivated exclusively by the Puterbaugh family on their Yakima Valley hop farm.

Track Familiar Turns

• Familiar Turns (6.5% ABV) is a bright IPA from Track hopped with a new experimental variety, Anchovy. Bred by Segal Ranch, a third-generation family hop farm in Yakima, it was named by Matt and Brian, from Fast Fashion, who sponsored the initial acreage. “We’re getting watermelon sweets, lemon zest, candy sticks, some subtle coconut, and a sprinkle of spruce in the finish,” says the brewer.

Stancill Baby James

• Baby James (4.4% ABV) marks the arrival of an addition to the family of Stancill Brewery driver James, and his wife Hannah. “Anchored by the wonderfully resinous Admiral hop and enhanced by a late addition of the fruity but intense Jester, this is a wonderfully complex special brew,” says the brewer.

Brew York Teleporter

• Brew York have revealed a 3.5% ABV table porter. Teleporter offers rich, roasty flavours, with layers of coffee and dark chocolate, all wrapped up in a smooth, lingering finish. “It’s a beer that’s light in strength, but boldly goes on flavour,” says the brewer of the sci-fi-inspired beer.

Siren The Pilot

• Siren are kicking off 2026 with the release of The Pilot, a 5% ABV hazy pale ale hopped with Citra and Krush. “Expect a delicate haze, sweet fruit flavours, and just a little taster of what’s to come this year,” says the brewer.

New Bristol Dark Lager

• New Bristol have collaborated with Somer Valley on Dark Lager (4.6% ABV). Smooth and dark, with subtle hints of chocolate and roast, the beer has been made using extra pale malt grown on Somer Valley’s farm.

UnBarred Apple

• Lil Apple Pie is a 4% ABV pastry sour from UnBarred. Imagine fresh orchard apples dusted with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, ginger, and allspice. The brewer has got all of those flavours into this beer, light and characterful, and vegan.

Beak Steins

• Beak has released Steins, a 5.5% ABV dunkel. The dark lager was brewed with a regional lager yeast and a blend of the finest Munich malts to give a smooth, soft body, with notes of lightly-toasted bread and malt chocolate.

Polly's Stay See

• Stay See (7.2% ABV) is Polly’s first IPA of 2026. Described as a full-tilt, silky IPA, it’s loaded with Galaxy, Bru-1, and El Dorado. Expect tangerine, fresh pineapple, passionfruit, and bubblegum sweetness on a fluffy oat base. “Big, bold. and unapologetically juicy,” says the brewer.
