Uley Brewery’s first special of 20026 will be released on Monday (23rd February) and it’s a new beer from Stuart and the Cotswolds-based team.
Reservoir Hogs is a 3.8% ABV ruby-coloured ale. It has an aroma of coffee and blackcurrant, with fruit on the tongue and a long, bitter finish. Dark Crystal and chocolate malt are balanced with English Phoenix hops.
At the same time, Uley have revealed details of the rest of their specials for 2026, and their release dates. They are:
- Cross Breed
A remake from 2025, but this year using Charles Faram experimental hop CF277 for a beer with hints of orange and spice, with floral overtones. Release date: 30th March. - Hog’s Wallop IPA
