• There’s a fresh brew of Newbarns’ Chevallier Vienna Lager (5% ABV). There’s loads of dark brown rye bread aromas, along with some fruity notes reminiscent of best bitter. A good bitterness balances the sweetness. “A proper Sunday roast beer,” says the brewer.

• 71 Brewing have collaborated with Transition Dundee on Strawberry Bank Lane, a 5.5% ABV sour made with locally grown and gleaned strawberries. The strawberries have been rescued from food waste and help to tackle climate change, major concerns for the Transition team.

• After a two-year break, Oakham’s single-hop pale, Nectaron (4% ABV), is back. Expect loads of Southern Hemisphere tropical pineapple, passionfruit, and peach character, plus citrus grapefruit notes and herbal hints.

• West Walls are developing a new pale ale to support their Eden Valley Hospice fundraiser. “It’s a pale, session-strength ale that’s soft, bright, and seriously drinkable,” says the brewer, “loaded with a standout New Zealand line-up — Rākau, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka — for layers of juicy citrus, tropical fruit, and that fresh, vibrant NZ lift.”

• Born Free, a hoppy pale ale, is Crafty Devil’s first alcohol-free beer. “Packed full of Citra, Citra Dynaboost, Citra Cryo, and Motueka Hop Kief, Born Free delivers a proper hoppy punch with big aroma, juicy flavour, and real depth,” says the brewer.

• Reverend Hooker Nitro Stout (4.3% ABV), from Round Corner Brewing, will be pouring throughout the Six Nations championship. Eleven different malts are blended, imparting subtle aromas of dried fruits, dates, and chocolate. Pacific Jade and Fuggles hops add a bitter finish.
