• 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.

• Lush Rat is a DDH XPA from Ossett, coming in at 5.3% ABV. “Drink in the juicy gooseberry and white grape flavours, with a lush twist of lime zest,” says the brewer. “Luscious, crushable, and hazy.”
• Icebreaker cold IPA (5.5% ABV) is the latest in Kirkstall’s Small Batch Series. Using Centennial, Citra, and Chinook hops, this hybrid beer style is fermented with a lager yeast to create an IPA with a fruity hop aroma and crisp, cutting finish.
• It’s not hard to guess the musical inspiration behind Brew York’s Cypress Pils, a 5.5% ABV West Coast pilsner. Built on a crisp, classic pilsner base, it brings West Coast attitude with bold, hops. Expect bright citrus and pine, a touch of resin, and a subtle floral edge, over clean malt.
