I love Black IPAs, not that there are many around. And this is great, full of flavour and perfect for Autumn.

Pale malt offers a balanced sweetness with a touch of caramel, and a versatility that allows it to be used in many beer styles.

Hop Noir is a very special collaboration, between ourselves and England’s largest brewer of stouts and porters, Titanic Brewery.

This Black IPA features a lineup of NZ hops; Taiheke, Waimea and Green Bullet. Expect heady hop flavours with sweet roasty undertones on the finish.

We've got an early start in the morning to get ahead with the next brew, but that's not going to get between us and a choice Sunday afternoon indulgence. Just the one, mind.

At the weekend, it's time to dig in to the old familiarity of classics like Inferno. A perfect weekend beer with balance and wonderful flavour.

One of three seasonal releases for October, HopWalk 2025 is our green hop ale made using Ernest, a variety with pronounced New World characteristics. Expect complex, fruity flavours and a hint of spice.

Congratulations to The Brewery Tap in Peterborough for gaining a place in this year's Good Beer Guide. But with that line up on the bar, it's hardly surprising!

Ed's been off to Yakima Chief for this year's hop selection - here he is assessing the US Citra harvest for 2025.

Named 2024 SIBA East Overall Champion Cask Beer, Icon cask aged IPA is available for order now. The vibrant berry flavours and earthy, pine resin complexity of Mosaic combine with the pronounced grapefruit and tangerine notes of Centennial and the punchy tropical fruit characteristics of Citra.

Lining up a cheeky takeaway this weekend? Try pairing spicy food with JHB - it'll accentuate the natural sweetness, have enough power to complement those spices and the bitterness will cut through the richness.

Thinking about seasonals, it's not long until Fiend is released upon the world. We know that there are plenty of you who look forward to our dark releases and Fiend is an absolute belter.

The green hops have been picked and rushed back to the brewery ready for this year's edition of HopWalk - last year we used Challenger and this year we've gone with British hop Ernest. This is available for pre-order and will be released in a few weeks.
