We really aren't holding back this week, as we welcome in a host of absolutely bumper brews! Featured is the return of an internet-breaking DIPA from Pressure Drop, a trio of stupendous Siren suds, and for some lager levity, a few Braybrooke bangers to help whet your whistle for our upcoming collaboration. Not forgetting, of course, a generous helping from Square Root and a cheeky web drop from Cheltenham's finest DEYA - but first, our headliners of this week's rather substantial show...

We've long been fans of the South London clan, collaborating last year with the team on our zesty little continental pale, Sleuther, and as far as we're concerned Gipsy Hill have never been on finer form. Having switched up their release schedule, they're back with a new exciting brew every week in addition to their excellent core range featuring the likes of fridge essentials Hepcat, Carver, Bandit and Hunter. This time around they've collaborated with Bristol based illustrator Jayde Perkin for a quartet of brilliantly designed, suitably heavy hitting brews to bring some sunshine back into your weekend!
Leading the charge is throwback West Coast IPA Sandhog, a revved-up, pine-filled ode to the classic style - refreshingly bitter, it dares you to return time again and time again. New England IPA Straphanger fulfils part one of the juice quota with Meridian and El Dorado hops churning out candied stone-fruit and deep pineapple aromas, alongside a zesty kick and a thick, mouth-coating body. Part two sees them walk the line perfectly between all-out hoppiness and surprising drinkability. Whirligig is a double IPA fermented with Voss Kveik yeast, paired with Simcoe and Mosaic for huge tropical saturation and sweetness, whilst somehow staying wildly drinkable. Finally, they prove once again to be some of the best in the business at sour smoothie fun with their honeyberry, raspberry and blackberry imperial Urbanist. Pouring an incredible purple, it's jammy tartness that hits the bonkers mark with spiked, melted ice lolly flavours.
To celebrate these rather insane beers, we're offering double loyalty points in store across their range, and we're also giving away some limited glassware if you fancy picking up all four in the shops. To sign up you can shoot us an email, or simply ask in store.

Boy howdy the Berkshire crew aren't holding back this week, with the winter warmers coming thicc and fast! Siren's eleventh edition of the Odyssey series is a pretty special blend of some of the finest dark beers in their barrel store, offering indulgent chocolate notes accented with subtle spice and deep malt flavours. If you enjoyed the imitable Dark & Perilous Nights, or their riffs on Broken Dream - this one's for you, we'll certainly be chucking a few of these in the cellar ourselves... well let's be real, the cupboard.
Packed full of Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic, Chinook and Simcoe, along with a generous spoonful of ripe mango, and a good cedar wood spin their next new beer is a Triple IPA offering 'giggling guaranteed'. At a whopping 11.0% it would be difficult for The Tickle Monster not to induce some hysteria - so watch out for your tastebuds, they might not be the same again. Completing the trio is Together & Apart, another hefty dark delight, though one with a little more drinkability. An amalgamation of rich dark malts, toasty coconut and tropical hops (Sabro included) this delivers comforting roasty elements and spicy rye for Autumnal bliss.

For those in need of some Sober October satisfaction, you'd be hard pressed to find better slingers of grown-up fun than Square Root. We've had a hefty re-up on their fruity, complex Non-Alcoholic Negroni Spritz and No Abv Gin & Tonic, which sees steam-distilled botanicals such as cardamom, Persian dried lime, Sicilian lemon peel, and liquorice combine for sheer deliciousness, whether you're taking a break from the booze or not. We've also got their new East London Tonic, perfect for pairing with East London Liqour Company's excellent array of gin goodness. We're offering 10% off any multipack on their tonics with the purchase of a bottle of spirit - so get your bar filled to the brim!

There's plenty of crispy reasons to be cheerful this week, as we've never had a better lineup from the Braybrooke boys. Mainstays like their untouchable Session and Keller Lager return, while their zesty, saline Gose is the perfect palate refresher, preferably after a nice helping of fish & chips. Based on the classic Märzen served at Oktoberfest their Harvest Beer is a pure celebration of malt, with notes of freshly baked bread, honey and marzipan. Slowly matured for over 45 days and with a decent dose of hops to balance out the sweetness, this is maximum festbier fun. We're a sucker for anything NZ focused, and as you might know our Kiwi influences run as deep as Braybrooke's. Franconian malt and bavarian brewing processes are combined in their New Zealand Pilsner for an aromatic, ripe take on the classic lager style. Limey Motueka hops are the star of the show, in a pretty supreme old and new world combo.

It's back! As well as hitting all the shops Pressure Drop's dank Mosaic DIPA Welcome To The Internet returns to the web, where it belongs. We couldn't physically get enough of the stuff last time around so get your skates on if you want to give this ripe mango, and apricot inspired juicebomb a whirl! For those after something a little softer, and perhaps rather more sessionable then look no further than Tomorrow's World, their second fresh brew of the week sees all-star hops combine for hazy heaven.
DEYA don't really do things by halves, so we're delighted to showcase a limited run online from some of the best hop slingers about. One of the finest core range IPAs in the country, Into The Haze is soaked in tropical, pillowy vibrancy, while a new entrant, Cast Aspersions, is a New England dry hopped with a litany of hops including Azacca and Bru-1 for sticky, sweet pineapple vibes. Lastly, Meet Me In The City sees Citra Cryo and Galaxy combine for smooth, silky joy, completing a pretty untouchable array of IPA excellence.
After this belting set there will be a week's break from your usual Newsletter fix. But, rest assured there's plenty of fun on the way to all our locations and online!
