ISSUE 64 - 17 MAY 2021

At last. Today’s the day we are finally welcomed back inside to drink our favourite beers and no longer have to worry about the weather. This time around the hospitality sector has had plenty of time to prepare, so let’s hope it all goes well. Cheers to everyone - it’s been a long wait.

Despite the Covid situation we’re still looking forward to the start of our Grand Beer Tours, but have now put them back to begin later in the year. Hopefully by then travel abroad will be easier. Once our destinations are officially on the ‘green list’ we’re full speed ahead. Check out the promotional page in this Newsletter for more details.

Amarillo on the cold side, and a hot side addition of Amarillo to boot. The result? A modern take on a certified classic; pithy citrus notes, backed up with a distinctive

grassiness, and resinous piney flavours.

Polly’s Brew Co.

Lotus Water

8.8% DDH DIPA A spectacular fruit salad explosion of flavour. A huge addition of Mosaic takes the lead, imparting that insane medley of stone fruit, bubblegum and blueberry notes,

accentuated with progressively smaller charges of Amarillo and Centennial for grassy balance, before a final addition of Sabro for a final lashing of tropical Pina Colada notes.

Polly’s Brew Co. We’ve Lost Dancing

7% DDH IPA Mosaic, Citra, Galaxy and Vic Secret. A face off of Stateside and Down Under hop

varietals; Citra and Mosaic bring pithy grapefruit, tangerine, berries, and that distinctive bubblegum sweetness to the party, whilst Galaxy and Vic Secret bring a

whole host of citrus, peach, and passionfruit notes throughout.

Signature Brew

Stagediver 7.5% DIPA Cloudy yellow in colour like a breakfast juice, it's so thick with a beautifully fluffy, moreish mouthfeel. It's fragrant stone fruit on the nose and tongue, with strong tasting

notes of pineapple, mango, and a lashing of tropical fruits.

Pilot Beer Philly Cherry Sour

5.8% Sour Basically Pilot just bunged a load of morello cherries into their Philly Sour to make a

delicious summer fun times beer.

Pilot Beer

9% Baltic Porter A new Baltic Porter, which is a smooth, rich 9 percenter, given a wee bit of bite at the end through cool fermentation with a lager yeast.

Lost & Grounded Brewers

Queens Of Outer Space

4.4% Witbier A refreshing Belgian beer style, with citrus, spice, ultra-low hops, and a beautifully smooth mouthfeel. A base of 50% Pils malt, 30% Wheat malt and 20% oats provide a

soft base and clean haze. Soft with low bitterness and spiced with dried bitter orange peel, coriander and nutmeg.

BrewDog Overworks

Spontaneity #3 7% Sour Ale From their coolship programme. Traditional techniques, minimal intervention beer. A spontaneously fermented Scottish Sour Ale with wild airborne, Aberdeenshire yeast

Siren Craft Brew

Sold My Soul For Mosaic 7.2% IPA This is a real celebration of one of the most popular hops Mosaic. It combines Incognito®, T90®, Cryo® and Spectrum® formats to layer incredible ripe mango aromas

with tropical notes, stone fruits and a touch of bitterness.

Verdant Brewing Co. Bigger Pigs

8% West Coast DIPA Quite simply, a DIPA version of their west coast IPA: Pigs All Day. A full malt base carries

a deep pine sap bitterness. Strong citric flavours lead the aromatic charge. The finish is dry and quenching.

Track Brewing Co.

Journeys To The Daylight 8% DIPA Citra and Motueka ride a pillowy wave of extra pale malt, jumbo oats and wheat. A

gentle bitterness accents the fruity top notes with an oily, lemon skin aftertaste. Hits

of peach, lemon meringue, pineapple and custard apple pop giving a different experience with every sip. The finish is lingering and mouth-wateringly refreshing.

Track Brewing Co.

Past In Present

Cloudwater Brew Co. Nature Is An Upgrade

5% DDH Pale Ale A pairing of the two most-talked-about varietals in modern beer. Sit back and enjoy

what Citra and Mosaic have to give.

Cloudwater Brew Co.

Apple Blossoms On Hewitt St 4.2% Pale Ale A dank and vibrant pale ale. By dry hopping at a higher rate than normal for a Pale Ale, using a combination of hops from the US and New Zealand, Cloudwater have created a

session beer saturated in flavour that doesn’t lose anything in drinkability.

Cloudwater Brew Co.

No No Noise

6.8% NEIPA With a dry hop of Idaho 7, El Dorado and Citra this beer has a full-on orangey taste. ⠀

Tempest Brewing Co.

Barrel 02 - Jerez 11.5% Imperial Stout There are few casks better than Jerez brandy barrels of Andalucia. Bringing out those brandy notes calls for the richest of imperial stouts. The liquorice and cacao of the

stout are at one with the oak and dried fruit barrel character. A hit of blood orange syrup cuts though everything to add real vibrancy to proceedings.

Canopy Beer Co. Kite

5% DDH Pale Ale This beer tastes like pure grapefruit juice, but better than grapefruit juice because it’s

actually beer. This pithy pale ale is jam packed full of Citra and Talus hops and it is a beautifully hazy dreamy sunshine colour.

Electric Bear Brewing Co.

Ow You Doing?

5.5% Pale Ale This tropical and citrus IPA was brewed as a thank you to beer reviewer Peaky Boozer,

for his kind words about Electric Bear Brewing. They decided to brew this highly hopped

IPA with him in mind.

Wander Beyond Brewing

Cyclopean Creek

10.1% Barrel Aged Imperial Sour An imperial raspberry and cherry sour that has been aged for 22 months in a Pedro

Ximenez sherry barrel. With time, this beer has taken on some exceptional multidimensional attributes; On the palette, an initial bouquet of sweet forest fruits

fade into complex barrel notes, with cherry and raspberry developing into an assertive, but not overpowering - sour finish.

Alpha Delta Brewing Minos

9.5% Export Dry Stout A dry stout with zero adjuncts. Just a straight up, smooth roasty stout ramped up to

typical Alpha Delta ABV.

Alpha Delta Brewing

Enyo

beer leverages Strata to its tropical maximum, with soft, rolling waves of passionfruit, lime and mango lapping against the prickly dankness of Cryo Mosaic and citrus snap of

Simcoe.

BREWERS CORNERGreat news this week, as indoor hospitality is now allowed to reopen. However, one thing that’s now accepted by health professionals, pretty much beyond doubt, is that COVID spreads most readily via air-borne particles.

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/213573/coronavi-rus-more-likely-spread-inside-through/

If you’re not yet vaccinated and deemed vulnerable, you might want to think twice about rushing to spend time with strangers in unventilated indoor spaces.

Writing decent beer tasting notes, if only for your own benefit, is something that we guess many TWICB readers care about. Anthony Gladman has some good advice here:

https://anthonygladman.com/get-better-at-describing-beer/

One of the definite wins for customers coming out of COVID is the ability to order via Apps, whether for table-service or rap-id pick-up at the bar. The app described in the article below is specific to the USA, but it gives a great idea of the direction of travel behind the technology, and we expect to see lots more innovation if this area in the UK soon:

https://brewpublic.com/beer-news/kuto-app-a-new-way-to-pay-at-breweries-bars-restaurants/

Finally, here is a fascinating article looking at some US breweries that have deployed some really funky shipping-container bars, custom-built by a Company called BoxPop.

https://beerandbrewing.com/boxpop-brewpub-containers-a-party-in-a-box/

The sticker-prices are somewhat eye-watering, but we imagine that this could trigger some ideas both for UK Breweries who might want to go for a DIY version, as well as to perhaps inspire someone to launch a UK Company supplying container bars?

EPISODE 45 - VAUX BREWERY

VAUX has been a beloved name in Sunderland for almost 200 years. From the earliest incarnation of ‘C. Vaux & Sons’ in 1837 the brewery was an important part of city life in Sunderland until its sudden closure in 1999.

In early 2019, Steve and his business partner Michael set about relaunching this iconic brand to make it a source of pride once more for the people of Sunderland.

taproom reviewStaggeringly Good Brewery, Unit 10 St George’s Ind Est, Rodney Road, Southsea, PO4 8SS

Staggeringly Good Brewery is based in a large industrial unit, less than 100 yards from Fratton Park, home of Portsmouth FC. They have so many cool plans, it is hard to know how to do this Taproom Review, in a way that will allow it to remain current for any significant period of time.

As I write this on 14th May, the Taproom is open for outdoor seating only, and can accommodate around 50 people. Tables need to be booked in advance. They have a very handy covered area than runs down the side of the building, where most of the tables can be moved in bad weather, to still allow a decent outdoor experience.

The current outside seating is table service, and provides a decent range of draft and canned SG beer, as well as a couple of slushie machines, perfect for the SG Wrecker Series.

Parked at the front of the brewery there is a pizza truck, which is fired up every weekend. Beverage options are planned to increase following the opening of a cocktail and barista bar in the near future.

Now, is where things get a bit less clearly defined...

The guys are working hard to finish an indoor seating area, within the shadow of the brewing equipment. This decent space should seat perhaps 40 people.

More exciting still, is the work going on the vast mezzanine level, which will ultimately become an events space with a large dedicated bar, but also a games area, a merch shop, coffee bar and music stage. Current plans are to have this open in mid-summer, perhaps as early as July.

The final phase of development will see the south-facing (and Fratton Park facing) rear of the brewery de-veloped with a further bar, and raised beer terrace, which will be a great sun trap, overlooking the football ground, to soak up the sounds (if not the sights) of match-days.

Next time you are on the South Coast, make sure you schedule a trip to this great facility.

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 [email protected]. 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.
