The Cloudwater fun shows no sign of abating this week with us managing to get hold of a couple of their 6thBirthday releases, a Trillium colab and the next Chubbles beer. But of course, it’s not just the birthday boys (and girls) from Manchester dropping new stuff to us this week, we’ve others too!
Â
But let’s start with the new stuff from Cloudwater. Chubbles II: Discovering Pilsengris is another Veil Brewing colab, this version is an 8% DIPA. Speaking of DIPA colabs we also have Uppercase, a 9% DDH DIPA team up with Trillium. We’ve managed to get a couple of their 6th birthday beers, Can You See My Screen is an NZ Hopfenweisse and  *Applies Virtual Background* is a Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe 8% DIPA.Â
The DIPA’s don’t stop there, Rosa, the Galaxy & Mosaic favourite from Polly’s Brew Co is back along with Slacks, a murky 6.0% juicebomb of an IPA.
 Burnt Mill are for us, one of the most consistent brewers in the UK right now. Green Path is a West Coast leaning IPA with fantastic drinkability. Multiverse : Galaxy / Strata / Simcoe IPA is more East Coast inspired with aromas of overripe passion fruit and pineapple.
We’ve also got 3 beers from their Norfolk neighbours Duration. Dripping Pitch West Coast IPA, Strong Opinions Held Lightly IPA and Happiness Runs which uses a new Australian hop called “Eclipse” bringing a bright orange pith and pine aroma, layered onto a complex biscuity malt bill. A delicate bitter snap finishes the beer, making it a very sessionable beer in taste and strength at 3.5%
The White Hag have added to their single hop single malt “Union” series, this time we’ve got Azacca Smash IPA and Nelson Smash IPA. Both at 5.5%, great for smashing!Â
Â
And speaking of smashing, if you really want to avoid any after effects, you need to try Northern Monk Holy Faith, the 0.5% version of their flagship Pale. No alcohol. No flavour sacrifice. Or if that’s taking things a bit too low for you, then go for Striding Edge, a 2.9% Light IPA. Both great options if you’re watching your intake.
Finally this week we’ve had a bit of a top up of our Continental beers, so check out what we have in the way of German & Belgian beers!
