Fruited Pastry Gose with Blueberry, Sudachi and Vanilla.

We've been cooking this collab up with our chef friend Norbert Piszkor for so long it might have just been a dream. Still, the beer is finally here: an insane amount of blueberry, a special Japanese citrus called sudachi, Madagascar Bourbon vanilla, a pinch of lactose and salt from Praid set the tone in our first gose.

Using a tried & tested hop bill of El Dorado, Amarillo & Galaxy, we've reigned in the sweetness of previous Fresh releases by using a smooth base of barley and oats.
The result is a bouquet of fruity pick n mix on the nose, with clementine oil and sprightly citrus up front, followed by tart passionfruit and rounding out into mellow soft peach. It's 11.2%, but drinks like a 9.6%, tops...

A big, unapologetic West Coast TIPA. US classics Chinook and Cascade take hold with their intense and sticky resinous character and Azacca finishes with its uncompromising fresh zesty and passion fruit-like flavours, all laid on luscious, smooth, biscuity and bitter, honey drizzled malt base.

A heady, juicy pale with plenty of jammy orange deliciousness. Loral, Strata and Centennial on the hop exchanges.

DIPA – Dry hopped with Citra, Mosaic, El Dorado & Vic Secret.

A dark pastry sour brewed with Vault City, conditioned on blackcurrants, raspberries, honeycomb and vanilla.

There are few breweries we'd break our sour hiatus for. But our friends at Pastore produce some of the most exciting and impactful sour beer in the UK, so how could we resist?
Our first fresh sour in two years uses Citra and Rakau hops to complement additions of passion fruit, grapefruit and lime, creating a vibrant, refreshing Sour IPA.

Succulent bursts of Ribena wash over a tart, rhubarb backbone. These two fruity flavours not only sing well together but are complimented and brought to life by a touch of sea salt and a sherbety fizz.

Vault City's limited releases of impy stouts have been thick and delicious and Nerd's stouts are fast becoming legendary amongst stout lovers for their depth of flavour & balance, so the combo of them both is mouth watering. Taking inspiration from one of Sweden's most loved cakes Kärleksmums it's packed full of dark mocha flavours and coffee, with hints of vanilla from the pastry base and a lovely dusting of deliciousness with the addition of shaved, toasted coconut.

Here's the dreamy hop combo of Citra and Strata in a sessionable 4.5% pale ale that's packed with hop depth and punch…

Ten months ago we announced our 200th variety. It was an American barleywine, but not a simple one. For example, this was our first barleywine, which could not be called a barleywine because someone there decided that "barley wine" was wine, not beer. ⠀ Barleywine is by definition a variety for "bad boys": in addition to the powerful and insidious malt base, the long boil of the 200th was loaded with a "barrel of jam" - maple syrup, and a "basket of cookies" - its role was played by "anaerobic Ethiopia with milk" in tandem with unabi, she is jujuba, she is "Chinese date". ⠀ Jujube leaves, when chewed, temporarily paralyze the perception of sweet, spicy and bitter tastes, completely preserving the subject's ability to feel salty, sour and pain. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we did not get the leaves, and we used dried fruits that really resemble the classic date. ⠀ Almost a year passed almost imperceptibly, and the time has come to roll out variety 235. This is a forced and modified version of last year's "200", survived eight difficult months in bourbon barrels and has grown to almost 16% ABV.

Apples, raisins and cinnamon are the main ingredients for the famous Austrian dessert Apfelstrudel. Combine these ingredients with a De Molen style quadrupel and you get a beautiful dessert beer. Full, sweet and heartwarming. The perfect beer for the holidays.
