Northern Monk Beyond

• Beyond is a bold New World IPA from Northern Monk, coming in at just 0.3% ABV. “The classically piney and punchy orange pith aromatics of Beyond, alongside its sticky, resinous mouthfeel, make this just the drink to see you through your Jan, no matter how dry it is or isn’t,” says the brewer.

DEYA Symmetry

Eye For Symmetry is a 0.5% ABV IPA for January from DEYA, brewed to the house style. It leans heavily on a heavy dry-hop of Mosaic BBC, Cryo, and Hyperboost, El Dorado BBC, Motueka and Motueka Sub-Zero Hop Kief, and Nelson Sauvin Sub-Zero Hop Kief. “Heady DEYA juice in low-alc form,” says the brewer.

Oakham Pendulum

• Oakham Ales is bringing back its seasonal pale ale Pendulum (3.8% ABV) for the first time since 2024. “Floral, herbal, and respectfully restrained citrus aromas and flavours predominate in this light and sessionable UK-hopped pale ale,” says the brewer. Those hops are Goldings and Challenger.

Unwins Sunstation

• Substation is a super-light pale ale, from Unwins, loaded with Citra and Amarillo. Expect “loads of lychee, zesty lime, and lemon, with just enough bitterness to make you reach for the next sip”, says the brewer.

Track Serenade

• Serenade (8.4% ABV) is Track’s final Gold Top DIPA release of 2025. Packed with Citra, Nelson, Nectaron, and Riwaka, it offers a mango sorbet, passionfruit posset, and pineapple punch.

Left Handed Ghost Dance

• Ghost Dance (6.5% ABV) is a new hazy IPA from Left Handed Giant. Hopped with Peacherine, Azacca, and Wai-iti, there are generous additions of rolled and porridge oats for a creamy texture. Expect peach blossom, nectarine, and pineapple juice.
