forgo the supermarket beer aisles for a while.

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

Never Too Much
4.3% Session IPA

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

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

Northern Monk
Double 0 James

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

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

and NZ Cascade.
Left Handed Giant
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

Classic style pale ale with a touch of Vienna and Cara malts. Yakima Valley hops
provide spicy, citrus and floral notes.
S43 Brewery

bitterness from Nelson Sauvin.

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

of carefully balanced bitterness in the background.
6

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

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).

Siren Craft Brew

A four-type mix of Simcoe hops selected from Yakima Chief. The combination
provides a beautiful spectrum of flavours and aromas of this incredible hop,
ranging from tart passion fruit through to juicy ripe mango, clean grapefruit and
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

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-

Cloudwater Brew Co.
Fading (And Emerging)

pepper underpin bright notes of yellow plum, smooth vanilla and burnt caramel
provided by the coffee.
Buxton Brewery
Lupulus X Belma

12PATREON 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.

15BREWER’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!

17Viva 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

30WHO 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.
