7 Fresh New Craft Beers To Try This Week
Oli Meade

This week we have some epic brews going at up to 50% OFF in our January sale! Dive in and get a bargain cause when they’re gone, they’re gone.

Elsewhere, on the new beer front, there are some serious gems awaiting. Let’s kick this list off with the most popular beer we’ve ever stocked…

1. Vault City Brewing – Iron Brew Sour

Iron Brew from Vault City is the most in-demand beer we’ve ever stocked. Fact.

In previous years it’s sold out in days, so right now we have a proper haul ready to go and get yer tastebuds tingling!

It’s a belter, it’s a classic, with Vault nailing the indescribable flavour of the unique orange pop – but with added booze! Get in!

2. Basqueland – Two Scoops Fruited Pastry Sour

I’m chuffed to be able to bring you a fresh load of Basqueland this week, including some sours this time too! 

Two Scoops is packed to the rafters with tart passion fruit, mango & vanilla and tastes as awesome as it sounds.

3. Basqueland – Berry Cobbler Fruited Pastry Sour

There’s also the Berry Cobbler, a zingy yet slightly sweet beer, with lashings of raspberry, strawberry, cranberry, blueberry and sour cherry – fully loaded!

4. Funky Fluid – Gingy Gingerbread Ale

Funky Fluid continue to drop some insane sours at the moment too, and the latest Splash Pink is up to their usual high standards with big, fresh hits of pink guava & dragonfruit.

That said, I’d also beeline for Gingy, which is one of the most fun brews we have stocked so far this year – cocoa nibs, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom & cloves, it’s a full on gingerbread man experience – grab one before it runs off!

5. Basqueland / Finback – Mucho Mucho Caliente Caliente DDH DIPA

Basqueland are once again hoppy headliners, and who could ignore a collab with them and Finback? 

Mucho Mucho Caliente is packed with citra, azacca and vic secret to create “a flambéed and super drinkable tropical fruit salad”…I can’t argue with that!

6. Basqueland / Gamma – Wilson Coconut NEIPA

There’s also a well rounded DEYA collab in Man vs. Machine DIPA and a brill west coast offering in Armadillo by Morning… but for me Wilson Coconut is the proper stand out.

Teaming up with Gamma brewery for added immenseness, the beer has just enough sweetness from the hops and the coconut to carry it through without it getting too overloaded.

Many breweries team sabro hops with this kind of beer and it tends to overdo it in the coconut but this smashed it – a hazy treat.

7. Pomona Island – Optimum Angle Of Attack IPA

I managed to get hold of a boatload of Pomona beers this week and Optimum Angle of Attack IPA is one I reached out for right away.

It has the usual Pomona smoothness all wrapped up in a double dry hop of Enigma for fans of that hop; some mellow tones of apricot, bigger hits of pineapple and a bit o’ bite too.

8. Pomona Island – Dress Sexy At My Funeral Imperial Chocolate Stout with Apricot & Spice

A couple of corking Pomona darks for you this week. 

Hateration Holleration is a big old dark choc and cherry number and is insanely decadent but I especially loved Dress Sexy at my Funeral.

This beer brings apricot and spices in a “very Pomona” stout type of way. By that I mean it’s well rounded, slightly quirky and very drinkable. The spices are led by nutmeg and cinnamon and subtle enough not to stomp all over it – and there’s no way it tastes 12%! 

9. Brew York / Mash Gang – Little Purple One Hazelnut & Chocolate Stout

At the other end of the booze-scale Brew York and Mash Gang have created a 2.8% stout called Little Purple One.

This promises hazelnuts and milk chocolate and delivers on both counts – plus it has Prince on the can… what’s not to love!?

Enjoy picking your beers and thanks again for your amazing support and custom, it’s hugely appreciated.
