Round Corner Brewing has released its 2024 Beer Calendar, showcasing its beer plans for the year ahead in keg, can, and cask.
The award-winning Melton Mowbray brewery is planning to produce four core range beers in keg, available all year round. These are Frisby Lager, Drovers Hazy Session IPA, Social Club Nitro Stout, and Steeplechase Pale Ale.
Social Club is a name change to the popular Reverend Hooker nitro stout, with the brewery launching a campaign in the coming weeks to grow the awareness of the beer and get it in even more drinkers’ hands.
Eight limited-run Market Edition beers are planned in keg and can. Four of these are returning popular beers, and four are new.
For the first time, Round Corner Brewing has released a full year’s Cask Calendar. This is driven by positive feedback to its cask beer in 2023, recognising the exciting modern cask beer market. The brewery feels that cask beer is premiumising and cask beer drinkers are looking for higher quality options to enjoy.
Across the last six months, the brewery has invested in its cask beer capability to enable it to offer more opportunities to excite craft beer drinkers with modern cask.
For 2024, there will be a permanent cask beer, Market Pale, as well as one other cask beer a month.
“The beer market is constantly evolving, and so we must evolve with it,” said brewery co-founder and director, Colin Paige. “There is a lot we are excited about, heading into 2024, and that we want to share with beer lovers.
“It’s taken us several months to put this calendar together, which we believe shows how committed we are to producing high quality craft beer which people want to drink.
“We are delighted with the range of amazing beers across these 29 different and unique liquids we will be brewing this year. We have worked hard on our cask beer capability during the last six months or so, and we think it shows in the range of cask beers we will be producing this year.”
Fellow co-founder and chief executive, Combie Cyan, added: “Every year when we release our Beer Calendar, it’s an exciting moment for the brewery as we’re sharing with the world what exciting brews we have planned for the year.
“In 2023 we had a large variety of beers available in keg and can, but for 2024 we’re focusing on areas of great growth from last year. These areas were our core range and cask beer, so with that in mind we’ve planned 2024 to focus heavily on growing those areas even further.
“This means we’re producing more cask and focusing in on what we do well and what consumers are drinking, and making sure we have enough of those great beers for folks who want them.
“We’re very excited about the year ahead for Round Corner Brewing and watch out for us as we’re aiming to spread our beer more broadly throughout the UK!”
