NEWS IN BRIEF
• Moorings is a new 6.4% ABV stout from Attic Brew Co. It’s a rich brew, full of freshly roasted coffee, biscuit and dark chocolate flavours.
• Sleeping Dogs (5.2% ABV) is a new West Coast Pale from Crafty Devil. It leans on Chinook and Simcoe hops for plenty of pine and citrus hop aroma, combined with a solid bitterness.
• Speckled Wood, a 4.5% ABV porter, is Great Newsome’s latest seasonal release. It mixes slight sharpness from dark chocolate with a sweet honey aroma courtesy of classic Golding hops.
• Clusters (5.2% ABV) is a Black Forest gateau stour from Neon Raptor. “Packed with layers of dark chocolate and warming cherry notes, it’s a rich, dessert-like experience that’s perfect for cozy winter nights,” says the brewer.
• Plump (6.5% ABV) is the first heavy-hitting IPA that Bluntrock have brewed on their new kit. A blend of Luminosa, Simcoe, Idaho 7 CGX and Citra cryo hops give the beer a character reminiscent of ripe Italian Sorrento oranges.
• Pomona Island has collaborated with To Øl on Reflections After Jane, a strawberry and yuzu sour DIPA coming in at 8% ABV. Expect sweet strawberries and cream, with clean, sharp yuzu and citrus notes from a late dry hop of Citra cryo.
• Can I Pleo It? (4.4% ABV) is a new pale ale from DEYA, hopped with Citra, Vic Secret, Superdelic, Motueka, and SubZero Hop Kief. “It smells like the middle bit of a nectarine where the flesh is tinged pink next to the stone…” says the brewer. “Nice bit of lime and guava, with some strawberry lurking in the background, too.”
• Electric Bear has tweaked the recipe of its8% ABV Cherry Blackout cherry chocolate stout. “Smooth, rich chocolate meets bold cherry puree,” says the brewer. “Embrace your dark side with a liquid twist on the classic Black Forest gateau.”
• St Austell Brewery has gained a listing for its first ever low-alcohol IPA with Morrisons. Proper Job 0.5% is due to launch in the supermarket on 23rd October and will be available in 286 stores across the country.
• Chromium, a 10.5% ABV barrel-aged imperial stout, is being launch by Double-Barrelled Brewery today (Thursday). A blend of two earlier barrel-aged stouts, it offers full-bodied layers of coffee and chocolate notes, followed by hints of peaty Scotch, caramel, raisin, and spice.
• The cleverly-named Mellow Doubt is a new 8% ABV DIPA from Overtone, inspired by by Teenage Fanclub’s 1995 album Grand Prix. Hopped with Nelson Sauvin and Motueka, it balances juicy citrus flavours with a subtle lime zest.
• Mysterious Forces (6.5% ABV) is a new hazy IPA from Left Handed Giant. Hopped with Peacharine, Taiheke, and Nelson Sauvin, little pops of blueberry come through along with a hint of gooseberry.
• Stancill’s autumn seasonal Treason, a 4.5% ABV spiced Yorkshire parkin porter, is back. There are toasty, roasty notes from a nine-malt blend, with added ginger giving a spark of warmth.
• Gorgon is a new 7% ABV Belgian dubbel from Neptune. Rich, malt-forward, and complex, it offers notes of ripe raisins and dark plums, balanced by smooth caramel sweetness. Hints of clove add a touch of spice, and the finish is warming and dry.
