Our first new brew, is from .brewing . Fly Tippers, Jack Baron claims, is the best hazy IPA he’s has ever made. It’s a fluffy back-to-basics juicer. Straight up hoppy custard using Mosaic, Citra & El Dorado. Thick, juicy and overflowing with citrus, pineapple and mango. This promises to fly out!

Next is a Saison from . Field Recordings has all the classic flavours of a saison, a style originally brewed to quench the thirst of labourers and field workers; lemon & spice on the nose, slightly bready, dry, with a slightly higher carbonation than their usual
beers. Eminently smashable!

Summoner is a take on the Belgian golden strong style using the same distinctive yeast which ironically originates from Scotland. Duvel harvested this yeast culture from bottles of McEwans Scotch Ale in 1918. In this homage to the style, they have used Golden Promise malt, plain beet sugar and hibiscus. The flavour profile from the yeast provides an intense fruitiness of pear & apple. The hibiscus adds a touch of citrus/berry fruit and an intense reddish pink hue.

Supreme Dream is a DDH pale using the ever reliable combination of Citra & Simcoe hops with the addition ‘a shedload' of Eclipse, a fairly new one to the guys at Pollys. The result? An intense flavour experience with fruit forward notes of sweet mandarin, kiwi, passionfruit, peach and apricot play off spiky pine needles and citrus zest in this slammer of a pale.

Give Your Papers Some Weight is their latest lower-ABV pale ale, coming in at 3.4%, dry hopped with an all New Zealand combo of Nelson Sauvin Amplifire & T90, Cascade, and Motueka T90. Straw yellow, bubbly smooth, with a passionfruit nose,
refreshingly light grapey body, and bitter lime bite.

Our last brew is a dangerously drinkable DIPA. Presenting Liquid Swords. Dry Hopped with Citra, Motueka & Nelson Sauvin and coming in at 8.2%. White grape, lime peel & aromatic herbs on the nose. The taste is mango, gooseberries & sweet mandarin flesh.

Some new beers hitting the fridges this week. Here are a few highlights...

First up today is Karkinos from , which is a fiery ginger ale. Grated ginger provides a soft, deep and citrusy flavour on a light clean malt base with a touch of caramel sweetness. Aged for 3 months in old Benrinnes Whisky casks to add extra depth. Finished with a dash of Orange Habanero to compliment the ginger heat and refreshing finish.

Next up is a fog pale from called Winding Path. Flaked oats and wheat give a velvety mouthfeel, allowing the hops to ride over the palate. Hopped with Citra, Galaxy and a touch of Vic Secret this beer is a tropical cocktail of soft fruits, overripe pineapple and
punchy passionfruit.

have made a series of collaborations to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Research. Many Hands Make Light Work #3 is a big juicy 6% NEIPA hopped with Bru-1, Citra Spectrum, Azzaca Cyro & Simcoe. Bags of tropical flavours with a big hazy body to match.

Venga is a hazy pale with juicy tropical flavours and big summer pool party vibes! A full-on cornucopia of party hops, they’ve used El Dorado, Calypso, Amarillo and Cryo Pop to create a punchy pineapple, peach and citrus profile. Whoa-oh, whoa-oh.
ales Trifecta is a session IPA brewed with Castle Rock Brewery. Featuring a trifecta of hops from 3 different continents: Harlequin (UK), Mosaic (US), Nectaron (NZ). Smooth, soft and juicy, with a restrained bitterness, showcasing the top notes of the selected hops beautifully. A punch bowl of fruit on the nose and first sip, followed by subtle stone fruit and white wine notes.

Our last new brew is a table beer from . Combining the delights of Mosaic and Vic Secret hops this has been designed to provide ultimate refreshment at a session strength, giving notes of sweet berries and candied fruits.

We have a new range of delicious beers from Polish icons now in stock...

First up is a liquid dessert that’s worth every calorie! Coco Lush is a coconut vanilla milk stout. It’s sweet, with a smooth, creamy texture, loaded with coconut flakes and vanilla.

Designated drivers amongst you rejoice, Free Italo is the non- alcoholic version of Italo - a juicy, distinctly bitter Hazy APA dry hopped with Citra and Mosaic, brewed with a touch of Amalfi lemons. An Italian vacation in a glass.

White Fluff is from their Gelato range, which are always loaded with real fruit. This time, they’ve added banana, pear, pineapple, and lime puree and juice, topped off with marshmallows and vanilla.

Buko Shake will be taking you straight to the Philippines for a fruity cocktail sour packed with passionfruit, mango and lime rounded out with fresh coconut. Sweet, sour, exotic and straight up delicious!

Kompot is a another variant of the best-selling series of sweet and sour beers - Gelato. This time, inspired by grandma's classic compote - the beer was enriched with huge amounts of strawberries and rhubarb.

Gose Together is part of their cooperative FEAT series - beers inspired by legendary albums. For this brew with Cztery Ściany they opted for an Imperial Gose, to which large quantities of bananas, mangoes and passion fruits were added, as well as Maldon salt.

are a brewery based in Budapest, launched in 2016 and claim to be 'ALWAYS FLAWLESS, ALWAYS BOLD, NEVER BORING!' Making a huge range of beers there is something for every palate with this brewery.

We have 4 beers in stock from them which are all inspired by Lord of the Rings....

First up is Elvenberry, a low ABV fruited sour with Strawberry, Blackberry & Sour Cherry representing the Elves being immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.

Next is White Tree Pale, representing the symbol of Gondor in a refreshing yet crushable pale ale. Using 3 different hops they’ve created a beer which gives notes of melon, mango and citrus, with just a hint of herbaceousness to stop it becoming too heady.

Where the ashes rise to the sky, Mordor is born. A black IPA inspired by the gloomy land where darkness meets fire. Deep tones of crisp malts merge with the ferociously pungent bite of hops - earthy, resinous and citrusy notes, as if forged by Sauron himself. One sip
and you know there's no turning back.

Dwarven Forge is inspired by the mines of Moria, where true friends come with beer, or get them in so it’s waiting for you. Great flavours of coffee and chocolate in this 6% oatmeal stout.

Partie Fine means "Pleasure Party" in French, and this gorgeous white certainly is that! 75% Colombard & 25% Ugni Blanc make this lively and exciting, with bursts of freshness, minerality and citrus notes.

San Lorenzo Le Oche is a Verdicchio from Marche, Italy. Aged in concrete tanks, it has a spicy, floral nose with green apple and quince. Having spent 12 months resting on its lees, it has textured yeastiness with firm acidity and the classic Verdicchio greenness.

TWR SV Toru is a delicious blend of 3 varieties – Gewürztraminer, Riesling and Pinot Gris. It has the spice and weight of Gewürztraminer, the structure and length of Riesling, and the texture of Pinot Gris. Aromas of mango, white flowers and spices lead into a palate full of lychee and a lush creamy texture.

Mauricio Gonzalez Tinaja is an orange wine from Chile. Muscat of Alexandria is destemmed into amphora and fermented with skins which adds weight. You'll find aromas of white flowers and citrus fruits. Vibrant and intense acidity, bitter lemon and orange with a refreshing salinity.

Next is a wine made from a grape which nearly died out following disease and the big frost of 1956. Thierry Navarre has 25% of the 7 hectares of Ribeyrenc left in the Languedoc. The wine itself is enchantingly demure. It is pale red, the nose has some light perfume (violets and peonies), the palate is mellow, with cherry fruit and a hint of white pepper.

Tu Rougis, Moi Aussi (you blush, me too) is made by Jean Luc Martha using Fer Servadou from the hills of Marcillac. Redcurrants and pomegranate on the nose give way to velvety
rounded tannins with just a hint of pepper and a surprising freshness.

La Palazzetta IGT Rosso Toscana is 100% Sangiovese from the east side of Montalcino. It’s full bodied, smooth, and dry with juicy cranberry plus earthy notes of leather, dried herbs and leaves. It's fresh acidity, a dry tannin grip accompany subtle hints of oak on a long satisfying finish.

are a ‘truly wild brewery’ who have been brewing since 2015 in Suffolk. They produce mixed fermentation beers that give unique flavours and use hops and barley that they grow themselves. Pride is taken in the fact that they do everything organically, from working with wildlife trusts and organic grain trading, to the low embodied energy material used to make the brewery itself.

But unfortunately this amazing brewery have decided to close down and it's fair to say they will definitely be deeply missed by us as well as by you guys.

We have however managed to get our hands on a final stock up of some of their beers for you to come and enjoy, and bid them a fond farewell before there are gone.

First up we have their Redcurrant Sour. It’s been aged for just under 3 years in a barrel and rested on 8kg of fresh Suffolk redcurrants from a local farm. It’s full of red fruit flavours with a cidery finish and a hint of spice.

Next is Sweet and Sour Cherry. You’ll find a blend of chocolate, smoky, and cherry flavours in this dark sour. This beer has a strong sour base by being partially aged in fresh Frederiksdal cherry wine barrels and balanced with the sweetness of 25kg of cherries!

Last but not least we have Stupid Sexy Suffolk Blackberry Sour. It’s their base Flanders Red ale recipe, that they have used in a range of blends over the years, aged in a Ruby Port barrel with the addition of fresh blackberries. The result is a beer with almost a red wine quality, with those dark red fruits coming through with a touch of sharpness from the fresh fruit.
