Mad Squirrel Brewery

Sapwood

8.5% West Coast DIPA Sapwood is a big, old school West Coast DIPA. It’s got all the hallmarks; citrus

pith, resinous sweetness, piney bitterness, a touch of caramel and a big slice of grapefruit.

Tempest Brewing Co.

Kesennuma Stout

10.8% Imperial Stout Collab with Yokohama Roto Brewery. This is a salty, sweet, spicy, umami Imperial

Stout and unlike anything you’ve tasted before. Combining Japanese oyster sauce, clove, cardamon and sweet malt flavours. Aged for 11 months in Scotch

whisky barrels calls for a true Shokunin master.

Wylam Brewery The 44th Line Of Code

8% DIPA A double IPA programmed to generate a juicy software codebase of dialled in

signature Wylam super mouthfeel with a plentiful supply of superfresh Citra, Centennial, Amarillo and Idaho7. Byte the tropical madness.

Wylam Brewery

Greyhounds Don’t Like Jazz 7.1% Sour IPA Springy and smooth yet tart and acidulous with a conservative hop schedule leaving some wiggle for the naturally spiked, peachy esters released from the

graveyard pitch. Nelson Sauvin, Bru 1 and Centennial Cryo encourage a whisked-

up admixture of white grape, pineapple and nectarine flesh.

Wylam Brewery

Horizon Line 6.1% IPA Brewed with vista and scope to reveal a soft, comfy pillow of malt with a subtle yet sparkling muzzy nebulous of stellar fresh El Dorado, Azacca and Amarillo

hops. A high note citrange of tangelo, Rangpur and lime melds together with a

low note mirage of mango, sweet pear and watermelon squash.

BrewDog

Double Or Nothing 6.5% IPA A marshmallow and pineapple hazy IPA.

Weird Beard Brew Co.

The Mountain

6.5% IPA Something that belongs on neither coast and on both coasts at the same time. A

juicy yet bitter IPA - bursting with hop flavour and aroma but with a balancing bitterness. Enter The Mountain - a 6.5% No Coast IPA bringing the best of both

worlds.

3

Almasty Brewing Co. Southern Lights

5.5% Farmhouse Pale A farmhouse pale brewed with northern hemisphere yeast and wondrously

blended with Southern hemisphere hops. Together they create a vinous aroma of funky ripe tropical fruits.

Almasty Brewing Co. Vision

6.8% Sour IPA A complex union of hops, yeast, fruit and vanilla. Perfectly blended to create Almasty's own vision of what an IPA can be.

Almasty Brewing Co. Blue Cheese

8% DIPA Blue Cheese is fiercely hopped with Mosaic, Simcoe, Citra and Azacca. This beer is

dank and skunky with tropical aromas of mango, guava, pineapple and blueberries that are perfectly aligned with a herbal back note.

Beatnikz Republic

Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Riot

9.4% Russian Imperial Stout This is the bourbon barrel aged version of their Russian Imperial Stout, Russian

Riot. Brewed with cherries, muscovado sugar and packed with specialty malts, this Impy has been in oak bourbon barrels for 9 months. Big, thick, rich and

sweet.

Beatnikz Republic

Blacklight Breakfast 11.4% Imperial Stout A huge amount of maple syrup and blueberries paired with rich dark malts to create a seriously decadent dessert stout.

Odyssey Brewing Co. All Amongst The Barley

7.2% Mixed Fermentation Beer A rich malt base with aged Herefordshire hops and fermented using an

expressive English Ale Yeast with a naturally low attenuation, leaving plenty of residual sugars for Ross on Wye’s yeast to gobble up. The resulting mixed

fermentation beer was then bottled and allowed to mature and condition for several more months before it was deemed ready for release.

Electric Bear Brewing Co. Mokoko Chocolata

5.2% Stout Chocolate, Caramel & Coffee Stout. This beer is an improved and modernised

version to their loved Mocha Chocolata Ya ya classic. They have bolstered and accentuated the chocolate and caramel flavours in the beer. Topped off with a

light dose of vanilla pods to help bring out a delicate sweetness

fruits upfront, with complex hints of honey, toffee, smoke & liquorice in the finish from the Turbinado sugar, molasses & star anise.

Wander Beyond Brewing Co.

Mango Monkeys 13% Berliner Weisse Mango Monkeys pours a deep orange-gold colour with a white head. The sourness of this Berliner Weiss is balanced with the natural sweetness from the

addition of half a tonne of mangos (250g/L). A big hitter at 13.0%, yet it’s still refreshing and leaves you with the lovely tropical taste of mangoes to savour.

Track Brewing Co.

Muscle Memory 11% TIPA Collab with Humble Sea and Alvarado Street Brewery. A TIPA packed with the heavyweights of Nelson, Strata & Galaxy. This beer drinks like a tropical fountain

secreted from the Teeth of Dionysus. Huge waves of ripe mango, cantaloupe,

peach and gentle grapefruit at the rear.

bitterness, pithy orange with a face full of peach iced tea leading to a lingering finish with notes of freshly baked bread & marmalade.

4.8% Fruited Sour A heavily fruited jammy modern sour ale, fermented with house Lactobacillus

and Kveik yeast and conditioned on Lingonberry juice and Sloe puree.

Brick Brewery Winter DIPA

Dry-hopped at 22g per litre with Sabro, Ekuanot and Simcoe for intense mandarin, coconut and resinous aromatics.

Brick Brewery

Barrel-Aged Martini Chardonnay Sour 5.2% Kettle Sour Ageing in chardonnay barrels adds oak and subtle tannins. There's a slight ginger on the nose, melon and lemon with a tannic dry finish. Just add an olive and you

would be mistaken for drinking the real deal.

3.5% Grisette Collab with Pilton Cider. A Grisette brewed with fresh hay, pure Tremletts Bitter and Browns Apple juice and fermented on a farmhouse ale yeast. Soft body and

delicate malt profile, slightly tart apple skin notes, backed up by a spritzy

carbonation and sprinklings of pink peppercorn and lemongrass on the finish.

Left Handed Giant Brewing Co.

Falling Higher 4.5% Grape Sour Collab with Dunleavy Vineyards. Brewed with the addition of both the juice and freshly pressed skins, the result is a crisp, drinkable sour beer with some flavours

you might find in an orange wine. The grape character is delicate but present,

with a deceivingly sweet aroma, balanced dryness and a light carbonation.

BREWER’S CORNER Miscellaneous Beery News

Jeff Alworth at Beervana has an update from his network of Oregon

Brewery owners about what we should all be trying to do, to help

businesses that we care about survive the looming long, dark winter.

https://www.beervanablog.com/beervana/2020/11/10/coronavirus-

diaries-how-to-support-your-local-brewery-this-winter

Here are two links for the price of one from Beer and Brewing, quoting results from their 2020 Reader's Survey:

https://beerandbrewing.com/best-in-beer-2020-readers-choice-your-favorite-beer-styles/

No great surprises here, but it is worth noting that the fastest growing categories are lagers!

https://beerandbrewing.com/best-in-beer-2020-readers-choice-whats-on-your-wish-list/

How many of the top 20 beers on the wish list have you had....?!

The Morning Advertiser has an interesting article bemoaning the

lack of any specific Government support for the UK Night Club

Sector. These arguments apply just as well to brewing and

hospitality in general.

https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2020/11/10/Covid-19-impact-on-night-clubs

A particularly alarming point in the article states "...Europe's largest late-night operator, the Deltec

Group, has launched an "accelerated merger and acquisition process" in a bid to secure the company's

long-term future."

We are very fearful that the Macros will be circling in the coming months, looking for opportunities to

acquire over-leveraged UK craft brewers at pennies on the pound, once they have run out of cash.

Finally, here is a thought-provoking blog post about the oddly British

tradition of ordering drinks in bars and pubs without having any clue

about the price of the products we are ordering:

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 Lambeth Council to permit London Beer Factory to open a new Taproom at

their West Norwood Brewery.

London Beer Factory are aiming to create a relaxed, family-friendly brewery taproom within their newly leased warehouse unit on Beadman St, West Norwood. However, their application for license has been

impeded, meaning they cannot serve the people of their neighbourhood or sustain their site.

Sign the petition here

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.

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.

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!

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.
