The first of our Hop City collab releases is here and we’ve teamed up with a couple of European heavyweights, for a fruit cocktail hop bomb. Super rich and mega hazy, this double dry-hopped IPA is bursting with guava, mango and candied peach from a mountain of Krush. Nothing survives the rigours of fermentation than the bold tropical fruit flavours then Idaho 7. All bolstered by a hefty, dank hit on the back end from a load of Strata.

This also marks our third release with big wall titans, SNIK. Cold Tenderness takes the deeply romantic pre-Raphaelite tradition as its starting point; natural elements and expressions of beauty. A floral crown fills the image with calm, softening a tense gaze that captures the imagination.

P.I.G.S. Brew Co., from Greece, is far from your average neighbourhood microbrewery. They are a bold, experimental force in the Greek craft beer scene. Ditching the "easy-drinking" options for high-gravity complexity and extravagant aesthetics. Always pushing forward, zero retreat. Their portfolio is a masterclass in intensity

Crak Brewery bring just as much energy; another outfit that has never taken the easy road. Growing their own barley, cultivating their own hops, and flying to Yakima Valley to handpick even more. They challenge how beer travels from brewery to drinker, and they mean it at every step. Crak brewery fight for quality, independence, and meaningful change.

Second post Stockport Beer Festival beer at Northern Monk in Manchester, which I probably don't need. Hazy light golden appearance. Tropical fruit is just about dominant over pine, both are available in a very slightly dryish aroma and taste
