New beer launches and collaborations, in store, on bars, and online, from brewers around the UK
Make It So (5% ABV) is a new “straight-up” brown ale from Siren. It delivers a moreish, toasty character, with warming notes of chocolate and toffee. All this is layered over the subtle spice of Munich barley malt. Mosaic and Strata hops complement the beer with hints of dried berries.
Milestone 13 is Northern Monk’s anniversary beer for 2026, an 8% ABV DIPA. “Here, El Dorado takes the lead, bringing pithy marmalade and citrus flavours to the mix,” says the brewer. “It’s played a supporting role in some of our very best IPAs over the years. We’ve pushed it to the front here, and it rises to the occasion beautifully, a natural born performer.”
California’s Green Cheek Beer Co gifted Verdant a recipe, allowing the Cornish brewer to brew a take of one of their standout West Coast IPAs that the Americans brought to Little Summer Beer Bash in 2025. Nelson!!! It’s What We Like Here is a 7.2% single-hop Nelson Sauvin West Coast IPA. Dry and crisp, it offers lime, pine, grapefruit zest, fresh-cut kiwi, and over-ripe white grapes.
There are two new brews from Bluntrock. Garden of England (4.5% ABV) was brewed to celebrate Kent’s rich hop-harvesting heritage. Inspired by this history and a personal memory of head brewer George hop-picking with his family in Kent, the beer uses fresh hops shipped straight from Hukins Hops within 48 hours of harvest. Lightspeed, an 8% ABV DIPA, is hopped with Azacca and El Dorado. “The aroma bursts with sweet clementines and grilled peaches, leading into a full, rounded mouthfeel that feels like a big, soft pillow with clean alcohol,” says the brewer. “With a light warming bitterness, it delivers a sweet, lush taste, dominated by notes of ripe oranges, clementines, and caramelised peaches.”
Mystical Marmot (6% ABV) is Indie Rabble’s first international collaboration and their first beer to feature only English hops. The IPA has been created with Zurich’s BIERlab and is hopped with Cascade, Godiva, and Harlequin. These impart grapefruit, lychee, passionfruit, tangerine, and spice.
Pomona Island reckon A Little Seasoning, A Little Dressing is their best alcohol-free pale yet. The 0.5% ABV brew is super peachy on the aroma, with gooseberry and lime on the palate.
Brewed in collaboration with Oregon brewery Deschutes as part of the Charles Faram Project Firkin series of beers, Multi-Continental Pale (5% ABV) is new from Oakham. It features (as the name suggests) a tri-continental hop line-up of Olicana (UK), Nelson Sauvin (NZ), and Karma (USA). Expect bright, aromatic flavours of citrus orange and tropical fruits, gooseberries, and stonefruits, with resinous undertones and grapefruit bitterness.
Sun Valley IPA (6.5% ABV) is the latest in Track’s Cultivate series of beers, celebrating hop growers. This brew showcases Track’s hand-selected 2026 crop Nelson Sauvin from Freestyle Hops. The hops were harvested at the end of March after a growing season filled with sunshine. The beer sings with sweet tropical, pink grapefruit, and dank herbal aromatics.
Camden Town Brewery and clothing company Wax London have collaborated on a limited-edition collection of apparel, accessories, and lager, celebrating their shared NW5 roots.
