ISSUE 47

So here we are, deep into our third UK lockdown and several weeks

away from light at the end of the tunnel. Let’s all try to do our bit by dumping supermarket beers and instead help to support craft

brewers and bottle shops. They need us now more than ever.

New releases are starting to pick up again after the Christmas lull and

there are some pretty fine new beers to report on this week.

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 13 for details.

TWICB PODCAST – This week Rob is joined by Shaz and Mike from Docks Beer based in Grimsby. Download this Episode on Tuesday

and join in the fun. We also have many exciting new guests lined up for the next quarter.

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

LATEST UK CRAFT BEER RELEASES 11th – 17th January 2021

The Wild Beer Co.

It’s A R.I.P.A

6.8% IPA A cloudy IPA with beautiful aromas of pineapple and stone fruits. It has very low

bitterness, a pleasant lingering acidity and flavours of hay, mango and pineapple, with a dry moreish finish.

North Brewing Co.

Triple Fruited Gose: Blueberry & Apricot

4.5% Fruited Gose 1.2 tons of organic blueberry and apricot puree making for a bright pink hue and

sweet grape, floral and peachy flavours plus lactose to thicken it further and bring out every single one of those fruit flavours. Salt then curves that sour tart

smack and rounding it all off on the finish.

Overtone Brewing Co.

Loral, Loral Laughs

4.7% Session IPA Brewed with Loral, Idaho 7 and Simcoe, this hazy brew is an earthy, tropical

flavour explosion.

Overtone Brewing Co.

Cutting Teeth

8.5% DIPA A DIPA brewed with Forest and Wildflower Honey. This beer is loaded with Galaxy

and Columbus hops for a juicy tropical mouthfeel.

Two Tribes Brewing Co.

Human

5% Spelt Lager A beer made by humans for humans. Spelt is an ancient grain and it gives a slight

nuttiness to the beer. Slovenian hops give lemon, thyme and black pepper aromas and flavours.

Phantom Brewing Co.

Caravan Of Love 6% IPA IPA made using all the best Ekuanot and Cryo Ekuanot hops.

Phantom Brewing Co.

Hoodie Weather 6% IPA Packed with Mosaic, Simcoe, Cryo Mosaic & Cryo Simcoe, it's got a punch of orange zest and stone fruit with a soft and fluffy mouthfeel.

Heist Brew Co.

Citra, Galaxy

8.2% DIPA Fresh double IPA made with the classic hop combo of Citra and Galaxy.

3

Heist Brew Co. Raspberry Pear & Vanilla Sour

6% Fruited Sour Fruited sour with raspberries, pear and vanilla.

Duration Brewing

Human Interface 6.2% Bock Collab with Donzoko Brewing Co. This German lager is often brewed to usher in spring and the joy felt in coming together face to face after a long dark winter.

This bigger version of a Helles has softer bitterness than a pilsner with bigger hop punch. Floral and bready.

Duration Brewing Co.

Time Marches On 6% Farmhouse Ale A beer with a floral hop aroma, delicate bitterness, and a light biscuit malt undertone. Beautifully complex as a young beer to drink fresh or as time marches

on look for more rustic barnyard depths of grass and leather bringing further

complexity with age.

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.

Polly’s Brew Co.

Does It Matter How Far? 7.2% DDH IPA A hearty 20kg addition of Citra is followed up by 15kg, 10kg and 5kg of Mosaic,

Centennial and Sabro respectively to accentuate each individual flavour profile

on this amped up, maxed out, juice-fest of an IPA, with just the faintest touch of bitterness to keep things in check.

Polly’s Brew Co. Ode

6.9% IPA Chinook represents the old school, being generously used in the whirlpool to

impart delicious piney bitterness, Citra rocks up as the modern classic in the dry hop, bringing a wave of juicy citrus notes, and the future is handily dealt with by

Bru-1 and its incredible intense pineapple characteristics.

Vibrant Forest Brewery The Antidote

7.5% Chilli Stout Ancho, Guajillo and Chipotle peppers were used for this strong and luxurious beer throughout the brewing process to impart their unique characteristics into a full-

bodied strong stout. Expect a deep sweet smoky flavour and a subtle spicy heat.

Deya Brewing Co.

Hoppy Pils

4% Pilsner Hoppy Pils is a zippy, ‘rustic’ ish lager with wheat in the grist and Saaz and Citra in

the whirlpool. A shorter cold conditioning period and a little Citra dry hop creates a dry, clean beer with a distinct lemon / citrus and cut grass vibe.

4

Unity Brewing Co. Priscilla

4.8% Australian Pils A super crisp Australian Pils, single hopped with Enigma for a bright, crisp lager

full of citrus and a vinous quality.

Unity Brewing Co. Danse Macabre

7% Latte Baltic Porter Collab with River Coffee. A strong Lager / Porter hybrid inspired by that decadent but refreshing Winter beverage. Conditioned on freshly roasted, hand selected

whole bean coffee and maple syrup.

Tiny Rebel

Superhero Landing 13% Imperial Milk Stout This beer is a 13% Salted Caramel Popcorn Imperial Milk Stout, the perfect sidekick to tuck into while watching the newest release.

BrewDog Lockdown Lager – Cream Soda

4.7% Lager This is a classic German style pilsner with a twist, taking your taste buds on a

nostalgic journey with vanilla sweetened cream soda flavour.

BrewDog

Lockdown Lager – Mango & Pineapple 4.7% Lager Packed with sweet, juicy mango and sneaking in a hit of zingy pineapple to boot. This is a classic German style pilsner with a twist, designed to take you on holiday

from the comfort of your own home.

Salt Beer Factory Galaxy Vermont Session IPA

4.5% IPA A Vermont-style session IPA showcasing the Galaxy Hop. Leading notes of citrus,

passionfruit, peach and hints of grass.

Pomona Island Brew Co.

Ermagerd Derper 8% DIPA A DIPA dry hopped with Citra, Vic Secret, Simcoe and Enigma.

Pomona Island Brew Co. Pull Up To The Bumper

11% Imperial Stout An Imperial Black Forest Gateaux Stout with huge aroma of Cherry, Cacao and

Vanilla.

Pomona Island Brew Co.

Didja Get Any Onya? 6.2% Sour A sweet cherry and damson sour.

5

London Beer Factory

Produce & Provenance: Damson Plum

6.6% Wild Ale This is a three-barrel blend of blonde wild ale fermented by and aged on wild

London yeast for an average of 24 months in oak. Transferred to fruiting tank, the beer was then refermented on freshly picked damson plums from Green

Acres Farm.

Elusive Brewing Cottonwood

5.4% Pale Ale A bold and bitter classic West Coast Pale Ale hopped with Centennial and dry-

hopped with Simcoe for notes of orange and pine. There's something about the piney citrus notes coupled with a robust bitterness that makes us happy and

reminds us of lovely holidays spent in California and Oregon.

Lost and Grounded Brewers

Sunset People

5.4% Pale Ale Sunset People is a classic West Coast-style Pale Ale. Belgian & German Pils malt, along with Munich and Caramalts provide the landscape for layers of Simcoe,

Chinook & Citra. Think orange with a dollop of marmalade and ultra-smooth with a touch of dank hop.

Atoms Beers

Nanogram

2.5% Micro IPA A soft and juicy Micro IPA bursting with refreshing lemon and citrus flavour, hopped with Citra, Amarillo and Ella.

Cloudwater Brew Co. Come Again Gill!

8% DIPA A smooth and juicy DIPA that combines Motueka, NZ Cascade and Southern Cross to provide a soft caress of sweet white grape and bright tangerine, followed by a

wave of soft peach and ripe mango that linger into a smooth finish.

Track Brewing Co. Never Be Mine

7.4% Blackberry, Blueberry & Plum Sour Loaded with Blackberry, Blueberry & Plum with a little bit of Cinnamon &

Coconut to add some different dimensions and really fill out that mouthfeel. The result is like a winter crumble with a beautiful & balanced acidity.

Siren Craft Brew Scattered Light

10% Barley Wine Caramel, toffee and burnt sugar flavours build out of a classic malt base, with

flashes of vanilla wafers, berries and zesty citrus hop notes. Spinning the beer through Cypress, Oak and Maple spirals imparts a nutty complexity, balancing

rich sweetness with juicy tannins in a long dry finish.

7

Siren Craft Brew The Missing Link

4.6% California Pale Ale This style uses a super clean malt base to show off some amazing hop

expression. Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic, Centennial and Vic Secret combine here to offer tropical and citrus notes dancing in and out of the spotlight, before

finishing with trademark resinous bitterness.

Signature Brew

Lo-Fi 0.5% Alcohol Free Pale Ale This hazy, non-alcoholic beer might be inspired by the lo-fi beats we listen to when we want a chill one, but it contains nothing but the highest quality Simcoe

hops for big pine aromas & tropical fruit flavours.

BRZN Drunk Semantics

7% Brown Ale A sumptuous 7% brown ale with hazelnuts, cacao nibs and lactose. Cask

conditioned, for your enjoyment

Vault City Brewing

Pink Grapefruit Session Sour 4.7% Sour Loaded with juicy, vibrant pink grapefruit. Vault City's house mixed culture’s fermentation profile pairs fantastically with the sweet pink grapefruit. Tart, juicy

and just a touch of bitterness keeping everything in balance.

Vault City Brewing Sloe Gin Sour

8.6% Sour Vault City's mixed fermentation base beer with 250g/l of Sloes then infused with

a botanical blend of spices and citrus. A rich and decadent berry character is complemented by piney juniper and bright citrus zest. Earthy and sweet. Pure

indulgence.

Northern Monk

OFS025

4.5% Strawberry Plum Cherry Fruited Beer Collab with Uchu Brewing, Japan. A fruited sour ale featuring the most popular fruits in Japanese culture. Over a base loaded with plenty of wheat and oats for

mouthfeel plus a rounding dose of lactose, strawberry and plum plus Sakura

cherry were added for a smoothie-like beer with silky sweet cherry undertones.

Alphabet Brewing Co.

No, It’s The Children Who Are Wrong 9.5% DIPA A big, resinous, bitter Imperial IPA dry-hopped with Cascade, Chinook and Comet. Seriously old-school and seriously good.

Neptune Brewery

Takaroa

5.5% NZ IPA Takaroa is brewed using New Zealand hops, Dr Rhudi, Rakau and Wai-iti. Expect

flavours of peach and apricot with hints of citrus, followed by a grassy, pine needle finish.

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

At Beervana, our favourite US-blogger Jeff Alworth cuts through the gloom to

describe how deeply ingrained Craft Beer is now in US hospitality culture.

https://www.beervanablog.com/beervana/2021/1/14/cultural-triumph-of-craft-

beer

The Pub Curmudgeon has a well-written piece about the

breakdown of the vertical integration in the UK between the

family-owned regional cask breweries and their pub chains.

https://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/

Here at TWICB we won't be mourning the passing of either, as it opens up opportunities for smaller

independent breweries of both cask and keg beers, as well as independent pubs and taprooms.

New School Beer have an article announcing that the Craft

Brewers Conference has been pushed back from March to

September 2021.

https://newschoolbeer.com/home/2021/1/craft-brewers-

conference-amp-brew-expo-rescheduled-to-denver-in-202

This is set to be a theme this year, as festival and event organisers try to second-guess when it will be safe for them to run. Friends of Anarchy has moved from Jan to Aug, BrewLDN from Feb to May and Hop

City has moved from April to July, It is going to be a very busy, and boozy, 2nd Half of 2021!

Finally, the Brewers Journal has a great in-depth article about DEYA, as they transitioned to a 3x larger brewery without missing a beat in

2020

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.
