• SANS is a new alcohol-free range from Track, building on the success of AF versions of Sonoma and Arosa. Each iteration of SANS will feature different hops, starting with Citra and Eggers Special for notes of bright lime zest, passionfruit martini, pink grapefruit lemonade, and white grape.
• The organisers of Bristol Light Festival, which has just begun and which runs until 28th February, have collaborated with Left Handed Giant on Light It Up, a 4.8% ABV hazy pale. “A beautifully balanced hazy number, featuring a hat trick of hops that are sure to put a smile on your face,” says the brewer. Those hops are Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado.
• Fresh Verdant DIPA How You Do Anything Is How You Do Everything (8% ABV) utilises two brash experimental New Zealand hops — NZH-109 and NZH-106 — paired with powerful Nectaron. “Expect incredible, exciting pungency amid pillowy soft slugs!” says the brewer.

• All I Wanna Do Is Brew It (6.5% ABV) is described by Electric Bear as a “bold, punchy IPA, bursting with modern hop firepower”. Vic Secret brings the tropical heat with flashes of ripe pineapple, Elani cuts through with sharp, zesty citrus, and Citra layers in classic grapefruit and juicy mango. All of it wrapped in a properly dank, resinous edge.
• The annual release of Northern Monk’s Stacks, an 8.4% ABV chocolate and hazelnut spread pancake stout, is here. “This is our annual celebration of Pancake Day, where we make our way through all the childhood filling favourites,” says the brewer.
• Freestyle Hops have provided experimental variety NZH-106 to Polly’s for 4% ABV pale ale Quiet Hour. Backing this up is a new blend of Nelson Sauvin, named Bliss. “Taking early-harvested Nelson and blending it with purposely stressed, ultra late-harvested crops, the result is a hop that is outrageously tropical, with complex sweet citrus, and a light dankness that only Nelson brings to the party,” says the brewer.

• Siren’s Chicane, a 7.2% ABV West Coast IPA, is a follow-up to Jaggy Snake, shining a spotlight on the Peacharine hop. Leading with a rush of nectarine and ripe peach flavour, it pours bright and clean. “This IPA has gone above and beyond our brewing expectations,” says the brewer.
• Beak has released Be, a 6.5% ABV IPA. Bursting with Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron from New Zealand, supported by Mosaic and Vic Secret, it offers bold flavours of white peach, white grape, and blueberry compote.
• Razza is a 4.8% ABV fruited raspberry wheat beer from Drop Project. It pours a soft blush hue with a light, hazy body and bursts with the aroma of ripe raspberries. It balances gentle tartness with a smooth, bready wheat backbone.
