Phwoar, what a week! We've only just finished conquering an almighty mountain of cardboard, but it's all worth it for one of our busiest delivery spells in quite a while. But, what does that mean for me, you ask?
Well, some of our nearest and dearest in Pressure Drop take the top spot, accompanied by annual essential Alligator Tugboat.
Elsewhere, there's Verdant Puttty in minuscule quantities along with more Cornish crushers. Spoiler alert, we'll have a keg of that green glory pouring this weekend at the Wood St Depot.
Similarly, there's the last few initial bottles of Ideal Day's hotly tipped Path Of The Sun. A new regenerative brewery, helmed by wild ale pioneer James Rylance, we hope this is indicative of what's to come in the industry.
Speaking of new, and intriguing, we also have the first bottles from Scatterlings, a Barrel Aged Mixed Fermentation Saison project from Two Flint's Brett Moore.
If that wasn't enough there's fresh drops from Northern Monk, and Floc - who make their full shop debut. Lovely stuff indeed!

To say we're big fans of the Tottenham Juice Titans™️ aka Pressure Drop is a bit of an understatement. We go way back with this exceptional crew, having stocked their beers since day dot, even collaborating with them in 2018 on Transparent Things, a DDH Pale stunner, when New England beers were just a twinkle in the eye of the UK craft scene.
Continually honing their craft, they now offer up an array of hazy heaven on an obscenely regular basis along with some truly stunning Sours, ludicrously crisp Lagers, and sumptuous easy-drinking and indulgent Stouts. There's arguably not a more accomplished (or hyped) brewery in the capital right now, so we're thrilled to feature these legends once more...
Setting standards in the big smoke, one of (if not) our top-selling tins, Pale Fire can never go without a mention. The "shining, hazy gold, North Star of a beer" is a juicy, yet crushable Pale that's a true desert island effort we simply can't get enough of.
Speaking of core range crackers, King Queen Knave is a saturated fruit basket of DDH Pale flavour. While Ja! at 3.2% is a new permanent offering delivering big on hop character, with a spritzy, super simple finish.
Meanwhile, the aforementioned Alligator Tugboat is a dank icon of the PD portfolio. Designed by legendary street artist Sweet Toof, this all-Simcoe 7.2% IPA is a bitter Westie classic with plenty of overripe, musty (but in a good way) fruit flavour.
If more hop goodness floats your boat peachy NEIPA Year Of The Crab or resinous Burning Sky IPA collab Plant The Seed, using whole cones should do the trick!
There's also welcome style balance with moreish dry stout Spinneret, or fresh Witbier Wu Gang Chops The Tree. In addition, their crispy efforts like the excellently titled This Means Nothing To Me (a Vienna Lager) are for our money some of the best in the business.
A heads up that each shop (and online) will have slightly differing selections, though we are 100% confident you'll find something to love from one of our beery besties.
Don't forget there's double loyalty points in-store on everything Pressure Drop with 10% off 6 or more online so you can fill your fridge in style until next Friday!
