F A N S !
We're back with all guns blazing this time around, featuring an embarrassment of riches from our Brewery Of The Week, a Christmas cracker of a giveaway from Orbit, and decadent cocktails from Black Lines! We've also got a trio of freshies from our favourite London juice merchants (and yours) Pressure Drop, plus stout madness from Hammerton, and hoppy heaven from Verdant. That's not all though, we've also managed to nab ourselves a handful of rather special Burning Sky sharers, Cloudwater newbies, and a web debut for the much lauded Polly's Brew Co. So don't be afraid to indulge yourself, and get in the festive mood!

Since 2017 Burnt Mill have been kicking out some of the best beers in the UK from their brewhouse set on an idyllic Suffolk farm. After flying out the gates from day one we've simply not been able to get enough of them... until now! A mega two pallet shipment means we're hitting you for six with some of their absolute freshest and finest. With mainstays like the crushable classic Pintle and piney perfection in Beyond The Firs, we've got you absolutely covered for sheer suppability.
However, we've also got some real showstoppers like the internet-breaking Double Strata Fog. Here, pale, chit malt and oats make up the grist for a pillowy soft malt profile with whirlpool and dry hop additions of in vogue hop Strata bringing massive citrus and tropical aromas backed up by delectable dankness. There's also hazy support in the form of brand spanking new IPAs Gardens of Green and Multiverse, the latest in their respective experimental series. Finally, we have a much needed dark reinforcement in the form of Cascadian Rhythm, a Black IPA balancing chewy, caramelized malt notes with floral, hoppy vibrancy to balance it all out.
As always, there's double loyalty points in store on all Burnt Mill beers, so don't be afraid to fill up those baskets. We know we won't be holding back!

Not only have we got a much needed top-up of Black Lines' delectable Negroni and kicking Spicy Tommy's Margarita for you, but we're also delighted to introduce their irresistible new Espresso Martini. A labour of love for the East London team, they've partnered with two of the very best British producers; Chase provide their exceptional field-to-bottle Potato Vodka and for the all important coffee they've used single origin San Fermin cold brew from one of our favourite roasters, Origin. The final output delivers wave after wave of chocolate and caramel on the nose alongside a creamy, buttery finish. Set your course to Christmas hedonism now!

We're thrilled to welcome a trio of absolute bangers from Tottenham's finest, Pressure Drop, into the fold this week. You Might Be Right opens up the juicy, crushable proceedings with green strawberry and ripe pineapple notes thanks to the dream pairing of Columbus and Mosaic hops. While, returning great from last year Behind Door Number 3 takes things up a notch, pushing fruity DIPAs to their absolute limit. Last, but by no means least, affogato imperial Slumber arrives just in time for dessert. Smooth and luxurious, this is vanilla ice cream decadence submerged in rich roasted coffee joy to finish (or start) off your evening in style...
