First up is our big news for the month… almost a decade after we last brewed one (3,577 days to be precise), WE’RE MAKING A MILD! This one’s made it into the plan at the behest of our marketing team, who’ve had a petition on the go since 2021. From our Restoration series, it’s a classic 4.0% Dark Mild, characterised by a smooth, malt-driven sweetness, balanced by a touch of roast character and hints of coffee. The ultimate British hop, Fuggles, provides a gentle bitter finish. Comforting, rounded and mellow. Mildly excited for this one.
After that bombshell, back to the pale, hoppy beers we’re most well-known for! And we’ve got a cornucopia of them coming up this month – our single hopped series returns with Through the Hopback Citra, 4.0% and with an overt citrussy character and a thirst-quenching finish. We’re bringing back our Ossett Brewery collaboration, Discover Ossett (4.1%), too – this was our quickest selling special last year, a beer created from a mixture of the recipes for Deception and White Rat, with Nelson Sauvin, Amarillo and Columbus hops.
The ever-popular Alchemy (4.2%) is due to make its annual appearance, our very own liquid gold single hopped with Amarillo for a lovely satsuma-esque flavour. And finally, we’ll have the first in a new series out at the end of the month. It’s still under development as I type but will be themed around mythical creatures from around the globe!
And finally from our Brewers Emporium, look out for a couple of soft and juicy hazy pales which will both be available in cask as well as keg and can – Hinterland, a 4.5% Sabro and Vic Secret New England style session IPA, and the latest from our Wanderer series, a single hopped Mosaic NEIPA at 6.2%.
