This week we're kicking things off with a pallet of fresh goods from those steering the ship of Southampton craft, Unity Brew Co. It's almost a year since we last got our hands on a direct drop from these guys and in that time they've developed an exciting new side project - May Provisions - marrying British seasonal ingredients with traditional UK and Continental beer styles.
We have 3 May Provisions releases, a soft and luscious Winter Witbier made with clementine, nutmeg and locally foraged chamomile, a juniper, rye and Azacca hop Saison Automne, and and an English IPA brewed with heritage Chevalier barley and UK Challenger hops. On top of these we have 4 brand new Unity specials, maple iced latte Baltic porter Danse Macabre brewed with River Coffee Roasters, Australian hopped Pilsner Priscilla, Azacca 4 Eva pale ale and Continental pale ale Little Pleasures.
You can find the full range in all our shops and online today and to top things off we're making Unity our Brewery of the week, so double loyalty on any beers purchased before next Friday 12th!

Two more exalted arrivals this week united in their hazy, juicy glory come from English natural pioneers Tillingham and Cheltenham champs Deya. We've received an allocation for all shops and online of Tillingham's PN20, their 2020 rosé pét-nat made from a mega blend of six varieties grown in Essex and Sussex including Regent, Ortega, Pinot Noir, Schonburger and Bacchus. The result is a super bright and creamy natural fizz with crunchy raspberry, strawberry and peach aromas carried over soft, mouth-filling bubbles.
From Deya, Steady Rolling Man is back with a fresh lick of paint but the same flawless execution, there's a new batch of Into the Haze IPA and also a Hoppy Pils brewed with wheat in the mash and Saaz and Citra hops.

Verdant are back to blow away the January cobwebs with three absolute monsters. Don't Fear the Ferryman is a jet black 10.5% Imperial stout redolent of dried berries and burnt caramel, and there's two new Double IPAs, dank and citric 40 Watt Moon packed to the rafters with Strata and Citra hops plus Unconventional Tactics, an ode to Verdant's self-professed favourite hop Nelson Sauvin brewed with dose upon dose upon dose of this NZ speciality.
Never one to miss the party, Pressure Drop have two show stopping new offerings: On Sunday We Eat Spaghetti, an English Pils made with Hertfordshire grown Phoenix and Pilgrim hops and Future Sunshine, a ripe and luscious passionfruit, peach and pineapple sour.

The first beer from a completely new outfit for us this week and it's not for the faint hearted! Founded last year, Low Key is a small barrel ageing project specialising in big beers and big flavours. Online now we have a case of Jörmugandr, a chocolate and tonka bean Imperial stout aged for 4 months in a single Laphroig whisky barrel. Sweet, smoky, spicy and unctuous, this is a real treat and puts Low Key firmly on the map of ones to watch.
Finally we have a trio of delectable specials from Wylam: Massive triple IPA Tales of Majestic Puck, Shouting at Strangers, an intriguing Kveik fermented amber ale with orange zest and Citra, Amarillo and Cascade hops, and finally The Cold Condition Lager, a dead ringer from some of our beloved Bavarian staples.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend, as usual there's even more to discover in all of our stores and online!
