• 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.

• 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.

• A roasty, toasty porter that’ll warm your cockles during these cold and soggy February evenings. That’s Newbarns’ 5.6% ABV Double Porter. “Brewed with an assortment of delicious dark malts to create a complex, yet solid brew,” says the brewer.

• Rosette (5.6% ABV) is Dolphin Brewery’s first release of 2026. It has a light, fruity red wine character, having been aged on plums, redcurrants, Pinot Noir skins, and second-use cranberries and hibiscus. It has a floral tone, with saturated flavours of stewed orchard fruits and spicier notes from the yeast culture used. “Tart and bright, with pleasing tannins and a beautiful shade of red,” says the brewer.
