We all miss the pub, the taproom and beer festivals but sadly at the

moment all we can do is hunker down and enjoy Craft Beers direct from

the brewery or Independent Craft Beer retailer.

Please try and support these establishments in their time of need and forgo the supermarket beer aisles for a while.

Just to remind you that TWICB have just launched on Patreon, so if

you are feeling generous and want some extra goodies check out our Patreon Offer. See page 15 for details.

TWICB PODCAST – This week Rob is joined by Ross from Floc. Brewing based in Margate. Download this Episode on Tuesday and join in the fun. We also have many exciting new guests lined up for the next few weeks.

TWICB is all about the Craft Beer Community and sharing stories and beers together. Please let us know of any new features or suggestions to improve our Newsletter. All gratefully received. Send to: steve@thisweekincraft.beer

Attic Brew Co.

Never Too Much

4.3% Session IPA At 4.3%, you can safely get through a few tins in a night, but it's packed with

flavour. Grapefruit, lime and a bit of fleshy stone fruit, with a crisp finish and a bit of thirst-quenching bitterness to round it all off.

Overtone Brewing Co.

Suave IPA 6% IPA This charming NEIPA brewed with Bru-1, Citra and Nelson Sauvin gives you tropical fruit combined with light grape notes and a soft spicy finish.

Overtone Brewing Co.

Eureka Ka Ka Ka 6% NEIPA Strong tropical and citrus flavours are produced by the addition of Eureka and Citra Hops to create a perfectly balanced NEIPA with dark fruit flavours making

this beer a revelation.

Salt Beer Factory

The Hexagon Project #04

10.4% Blueberry Muffin Imperial Stout A huge aroma of blueberry and chocolate opens the beer, followed with a full-

bodied hit of blueberry acidity, chocolate smoothness and a long, fruity finish.

Northern Monk

27.02 British Culture / Archive Boombox 7.2% DDH IPA Collab with North Brewing. A 7.2% DDH IPA, boasting the signature aromatic, dark currant and orange zest notes of British Bullion hops over a thick oat-filled

base. To complement its deep, spiced notes, US Mosaic was added for its flavours of blueberry and soft, ripe tropical fruits.

Northern Monk

OFS026

9.9% Red Bean Stout Full bodied stout with a caramel sweetness and complex bitter chocolate,

tobacco and roasted barley flavours underpinning everything. Made with ground Japanese aduki beans.

3

Northern Monk Double 0 James

6.8% NEIPA Brewed with a grist of extra pale barley, two types of wheat, and a touch of munich malt and hopped with an array of US varieties for a silky mix of dank,

peppery and citrus flavours against more ripe tropical notes.

Northern Monk Transcendental Far Out IPA

6.5% IPA Transcendental brings complex, psychedelic aromas of earthy spice, evolving

further with flavours of lime zest and herbal notes. Sharing Transient's tropical hop combination of Strata and Citra, expect a juicy, dank New England character.

Polly’s Brew Co.

Rock Major 5.2% Pale Ale Featuring Loral and Sabro, this beer bursts with tropical, juicy and coconut vibes

from Sabro, but is much more balanced and approachable thanks to the lemon

and dark fruit notes brought to the table by Loral. Long live the pale ale.

Polly’s Brew Co. Birthday Beer

13% Quadruple IPA Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Sabro hops were used to create a potent,

bonafide hop bomb; bringing all manner of sticky, juicy tropical notes, and piney bitterness to play off the warming booze in this feat of alchemy. Happy birthday

Polly's Brew.

Polly’s Brew Co.

Uncanny Valley

6% IPA Citra and Simcoe treated to all the tips, tricks and techniques Polly's Brew have learned over the last three years as a brewery. With their bespoke LA3 yeast

strain working its magic here, holding all that incredible flavour in suspension, meaning all those pineapple, mango, and papaya notes are working full blast.

Whiplash Beer

The Horror

9% Smoked Export Stout It’s a big beer, oozing dark chocolate, burnt caramel, molasses, coffee... and

luscious beech smoked godliness from nose to body, top to bottom, flame to embers, ashes to ashes.

Whiplash Beer Dark Steering

5.2% Schwarzbier A black beer that is light with a fluffy soft and tight knit tan foam that won’t quit. Nose of fresh bread crust emerging from the oven, black cherry and a hint of

fairy cakes. Flavour matches in amongst the medium to light body.

S43 Brewery

Rorschach 8.1% Baltic Porter A lesser-known style, S43’s first venture towards a Baltic Porter, Rorschach pairs smooth chocolate with plenty of coffee and raisin. Lagered for 7 weeks and

fermenting it cold allowing the roasted malts to shine through, adding a fresh, easily drinkable character to an 8.1% beer.

4

Left Handed Giant

Eleven Plus Two 8% DIPA Collab with Cloudwater Brew Co. DIPA with Citra Cryo, Chinook, Nelson Sauvin and NZ Cascade.

Left Handed Giant West Coast IPA

7% West Coast IPA Featuring Simcoe Cryo, Citra, Centennial and Columbus.

North Brewing Co.

Dynamic Tension

10% TIPA Drinks like a big bowl of spiked fruit punch! Mosaic two ways and house

favourite, El Dorado hooked up with Columbus, bares heavily ripe fruits from the tropics. Picture a still life of papaya, passionfruit, custard apple, mango and

cantaloupe with lashes of golden honey being drizzled all over it.

Duration Brewing Co.

Happiness Runs

3.5% Pale Ale Collab with Double Barrelled and Simply Hops. This West Coast Pale has complex

biscuity malts, bright orange pith and pine aromas from new Australian Eclipse

hops. Sessionable and cheerful to remind us happiness runs in a circular motion

and we never need to eclipse friendship.

Burning Sky Brewery

Tomorrow

5% Pale Ale Classic style pale ale with a touch of Vienna and Cara malts. Yakima Valley hops

provide spicy, citrus and floral notes.

S43 Brewery

Auld Land Zealand 7.1% NZ IPA Showcases 5 different New Zealand hops. Tropical, juicy fruitiness from

Motueka, Ekuanot Cryo, Moutere and Wai-iti are complemented with a slight

bitterness from Nelson Sauvin.

6.8% Black Lager A robust yet understated Imperial Black Lager. Malty, but not roasty. Heavy in

ABV, but light on the palate.

Wild Weather Ales

Hath No Fury 4.4% Helles Lager A lovely Munich style Helles Lager with subtle notes of honey, bread and a touch

of carefully balanced bitterness in the background.

6

Pomona Island Brew Co. Way Too Many 40 Degree Days

7.1% DDH IPA A double dry hopped IPA with Vic Secret, Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Chinook.

Pomona Island Brew Co. Step Steadier

3.3% Table Beer A lower ABV DDH Table Beer with Simcoe, Vic Secret, Citra and Mosaic.

Yonder Brewing & Blending

Who Is Nellie? 7% Triple Fruited Melba Sour Packed with 360 grams per litre of fruit and finished with a touch of vanilla, Who is Nellie? is a tribute to the Peach Melba. Like the dessert, this beer is full of

sweet, tart fragrant fruits, balanced in perfect harmony, but full bodied and just the slightest hint of booze for a 7% beer.

Yonder Brewing & Blending

Flying Wonder

4.9% Sea Buckthorn Saison Sea Buckthorn, foraged on the South West coast in Autumn, adds a bright, citrus

acidity to the classic bread-like saison base beer. The vibrant orange berries are packed with vitamin C which makes itself known via the orange-like flavours

which lift this beer way beyond its flavour expectations.

Electric Bear Brewing Co.

I was Working As A Brewer In A Call Centre

7% IPA A juicy IPA packed full of fruity juicy hops from America and New Zealand. The

combination of hops used provide a very pleasant balance between citrus flavours and spicy piney notes. Making it a very easy drinking IPA with deep

complexity and long-lasting flavours.

Electric Bear Brewing Co. Read Between The Lines

5.5% Kolsch A beer that is somewhere in between a lager and a pale ale. This hoppy Kolsch has

all the crisp refreshing characteristics of a German style Kolsch but with a healthy amount of Mosaic and Centennial hops added, giving it plenty of citrus

and tropical flavours.

Weird Beard Brew Co. Double D’oh

7.7% DDH DIPA. Collab with The Dodo Micropub. A 7.7% Hazy DIPA, jam packed with Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops.

Deya Brewing Co.

Routine Bites Hard 10% TIPA Deya's first ever TIPA. An indulgent celebration of juice. A massively juicy and decadent Triple IPA with Mosaic and Simcoe (blends of T90 and CRYO).

big drinking experience that will bring a smile to your face. Thick, sweet juice is underscored by classic piney hoppiness from the Chinook.

Siren Craft Brew

Sold My Soul For Simcoe

signature piney bitterness.

Siren Craft Brew

Enter Strata

5.9% IPA There are plenty of oats involved here, building a nice body and smooth

mouthfeel. Look out for juicy melon and sweet berry notes that Strata is known for, complementing the stone fruit flavours of our house-strain Vermont yeast.

Track Brewing Co.

The Satisfied Mind

9% Fruited Berliner Weisse A mango & coconut sour which drinks like liquid sorbet. Bright, fresh Alphonso mango flavour with a creamy coconut sidekick working together to put a smile

on your face & keeping it there as the flavours meld and build the more time you spend with it. Ripe & rich, this is an absolute tropical banger.

9

Track Brewing Co. If Not Today

11% TIPA Mosaic, Strata & Galaxy melded in just the right amounts atop a malt base of

mouth coating pillowyness. Balanced malt sweetness & flavours of honey dew, passion fruit & orange peel with a pithy bitterness alongside a long, smooth

finish make this an enthralling proposition.

Cloudwater Brew Co. Twelve Plus One

8% DIPA Collab with Left Handed Giant. Brewed at Cloudwater, a DIPA brewed side-by-

side with Left Handed Giant's interpretation of the same base recipe. Showcasing identical lots of hand-selected Chinook, Citra, Nelson Sauvin and NZ Cascade.

Cloudwater Brew Co.

pepper underpin bright notes of yellow plum, smooth vanilla and burnt caramel provided by the coffee.

Buxton Brewery Lupulus X Belma

5.4% IPA Lupulus X is an experimental single hop program. Every beer has the same recipe,

only the hop changes to deliver a distinctive flavour burst. Celebration of the

Belma hop.

Buxton Brewery Lupulus X Meridian

only the hop changes to deliver a distinctive flavour burst. Celebration of the Meridian hop.

Boxcar Brew Co.

Mild, with ridiculously mild flavours all up in your face. Mega plum and raisin with

a hint of roast and creamy, full body.

Dark Star Brewery

Nørdland

5% Kveik IPA Nørdland IPA is a tropical delight with a distinctly Nordic twist. Brewed with a rediscovered Norwegian farmhouse yeast ‘Kveik Voss, expect a swirling storm of

fruity flavour.

PATREON ANNOUNCEMENT Discover the benefits of membership

When we launched This Week in Craft Beer in January 2020, we were blissfully

unaware of what lay ahead of us! Considering the obstacles we have all faced, we

are proud of what we managed to accomplish in our first year.

However, we have lots more that we want to do in 2021! In order to fund these

activities and to enable our Community to get more involved with the creative process at TWICB, we have launched a Patreon Membership Programme.

Full details of how you can get involved starting at less than the cost of a half-decent can of beer per

month, can be found at patreon.com/thisweekincraftbeer.

Don't worry, our weekly Newsletter and Podcast will continue to be FREE FOR EVERYONE! The Patreon

Membership offers access to range of brand new TWICB Products and Services. Please check it out and

let us know what you think?!

www.thisweekincraft.beer/patreon

Q. Why are you starting to charge for things that we have enjoyed for free all this year? A. We aren't! The weekly Newsletter and weekly Brewer-interview Podcast will continue to be free to everyone. Patreon will

enable us to offer brand-new additional products and services to Members.

Q. What's this about Members getting involved with TWICB? A. We have been amazed and delighted with the amount of engagement and feedback we have received during our first year, via

social media, email etc. The UK Craft Beer Community is clearly engaged, knowledgeable and sociable! We want to provide a mechanism for bringing the community into our creative process, allowing people to participate in the planning, research,

production and delivery of our products.

Q. Why do you have to charge for things? A. TWICB is run by just two people: Rob and Steve. Whilst it is undoubtedly a labour of love, it has developed into something that

consumes a significant part of our working weeks. Steve works mainly on the Newsletter, where the New Beers Section alone

takes many hours per week, to research, collate and format. Rob works mainly on the podcast, where each episode takes several

hours to schedule, research, record, edit and promote. Whilst we will continue to invest this time to produce the free products, we think Patreon could be a great way of funding the time and effort that we want to devote to developing new products and

services.

Q. Apart from your time, what specifically will the Patreon proceeds be used to fund?A. As soon as the COVID-19 situation permits, we want to take the podcast on the road, to record Brewer interviews at their own

Taprooms, as well as record live segments at Festivals, Tap-Takeovers and other beery events of note. In order to provide a quality

finished audio product, we will need to invest in some decent mobile recording equipment, not to mention the cost of travelling

the length and breadth of Britain in the pursuit of great interviews!

Q. What is the thought process behind the bundles of Patreon Membership bonuses that you are offering?A. We have tried to come up with bundles that combine some community benefits, exclusive digital products, exclusive physical

products, invites to exclusive TWICB events, discounts on TWICB Grand Tours and opportunities to participate in the TWICB

creative process. We have tried to price each Membership Level so that each offers outstanding value for money. We have also

tried to be mindful of the number of Patreon members that we can realistically include in each bonus activity. (Clearly the invite to

participate in the podcast interview or attend the TWICB "Board Meeting" needs to be strictly limited in numbers, or else the bonus

would cease to be "exclusive” and would risk disrupting the actual process itself.)

Q. Are the Membership Benefits and Levels set in stone? A. Of course not! We are literally making this up as we go along currently! We would love to get your feedback on the Levels, the

Benefits, and indeed the very idea of using Patreon in the first place! Please hit us up on IG (@thisweekincraft.beer) or via email rob@thisweekincraft.beer. We confidently expect to need to adjust the Patreon model as we go along, based on feedback.

Q. Is this like a Gym membership, where I sign up in January, and then regret it for the rest of the year?!

A. Definitely Not! Membership is month-to-month and you can cancel your membership at any time. Only caveat here is that

certain Member Benefits (mainly those ones that involve a significant cost for us to provide to you) are only unlocked after three

or six months at a certain tier.

BREWER’S CORNER Miscellaneous Beery News

Very apropos of our current World, Appelation Beer

have an article about how to overcome anosmia (the loss of one's sense of smell), which is obviously rather

important in Craft Beer circles

https://appellationbeer.com/blog/

Jeff Alworth has an interesting article about Achel, one of only six

Belgian Trappist Breweries, who have lost their ability to designate

themselves as a Trappist Brewery as there are no more monks living

there!

https://www.beervanablog.com/beervana/2021/1/20/any-monks-left-at-Achel

Just when we thought that Stan Kroenke couldn't annoy us any

further here at TWICB HQ with his general mis-management and

under-investment at Arsenal FC, Vinepair have brought to our

attention the fact that he owns a super-poncey US wine company,

who are producing lagers at $90 for a six-pack!

https://vinepair.com/articles/screaming-eagle-hanabi-lager/

Finally, This Week in Cloudwater brings you a guest event on

Wednesday 27th Jan at 7.30pm with the the superb Burnt Mill. The DIPA-heavy tasting pack to accompany the event looks great value

to us!

Viva la Revolución!

Here at TWICB, we are not claiming to be the UK's largest lobby group, or even the UK's largest beer

lobby group(!), but we do have a growing audience, who we hope might be willing to support the

following Craft Beer related causes

Petition Southwark Council to pedestrianise the Bermondsey Beer Mile on a Saturday.

With pedestrianisation of some of the busiest streets in Bermondsey on Saturdays only, we can get the

many bars and restaurants back up to their previous operating levels whilst keeping customers safe with outdoor drinking.

Sign the petition here

Reverse the change to Small Brewers Relief

The Treasury has announced changes to Small Brewers Relief (SBR) – the progressive tax system that has revolutionised UK brewing. These changes will reduce the 50% duty threshold from 5,000hl to

2,100hl: small breweries will have to pay more duty, whilst larger breweries could pay the same or less.

Sign the petition here

At the moment, we are conscious that this is very London-focused! Please help us to make this list of

causes more UK-inclusive, by suggesting your local petitions for inclusion on this list!

Please email rob@thisweekincraft.beer

WHO OWNS WHO…?

This Week in Craft Beer is dedicated to supporting and promoting Independent UK Craft Breweries and

the ecosystem surrounding them.

We define Independent as being those breweries who are not wholly or partly owned by a macro

brewery. A macro brewery is generally defined as a large, national or international brewery that produces and distributes more than 6 million barrels of beer per year.

Getting a new brewery off the ground is an expensive business, so most have external shareholders in some shape or form, whether through friends and family, crowdfunding, or some other form of

investment. In our opinion, this does not compromise their independence, as long as the shareholder is not a macro brewery.

Why does this matter?

Having a Macro as a parent company (even a minority shareholder), gives the brewery huge advantages

of patronage, including access to cheaper or scarce ingredients, access to distribution networks, access to points of sale including draft taps and pub fridges etc. For example, in 2017 ABInbev bought the

entire South African hop market for its own use and denied access to all independent breweries.
