Cheers to Happiness! ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒ

Happy International Day of Happiness! Today, we raise a glass of craft beer to the little things that bring us joyโ€”good friends, great flavours, and the perfect pour. Just like happiness, craft beer is all about balance, creativity, and enjoying the moment.

Whether youโ€™re sipping on a crisp lager, a hoppy IPA, or a rich stout, take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship, the community, and the simple pleasure of a well-brewed beer.

So, whatโ€™s in your glass today? Letโ€™s toast to happinessโ€”one sip at a time! ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ˜Š

Abandon oneself to the decadence of our new Gold Top DIPA. A sextet of some of our favourite hop varieties deliver a frenetic performance; heady hop oil unctuousness, followed by a platter of peach, melon, tangerine and grape, before a serving of caramel-capped banana splits. The cherry on top is the smidgen of lactose that tempers the hop intensity, rounds out the sweetness and heightens the luxuriance.

Did you know that we are heading into our 10th year of serving Northampton (and beyond) with craft beer?

Who would have thought it?!

In that time we have adapted somewhat, starting with a very small range of mainly local beers with hand delivery only, going out with our stall to farmers markets and the like all over the county.

As we grew we increased our range...lots of tasting and visits to breweries ensued (hard life!), and then after a few years we created our first bar and started to pull pints at food festivals and local events. It was hard work, but so much fun. To make it easier we bought a van and converted it so that we could truly be a bar on wheels....the punters loved it (and so did we), but Covid (and children) eventually put pay to that.

These days we concentrate fully on our (online) bottle shop, and we have some AMAZING customers, many of which we are able to call friends. Some of these have been with us from the start ๐Ÿฅฐ

Anyway, what we want to say is Thankyou for your support over the years. We could never have realised our dream without you guys!

Here's to the next 10 years ๐Ÿป๐Ÿป๐Ÿป

Women in the Beer Industry on International Womenโ€™s Day ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ผ๐Ÿป

For centuries, brewing was a womanโ€™s craft. In ancient civilisations, women were the primary brewers, crafting beer as part of daily life. However, as brewing evolved into a commercial enterprise, women were largely pushed to the margins.

Today, on International Womenโ€™s Day, we celebrate the women reclaiming their space in the beer industryโ€”brewers, owners, cicerones, and innovators who are shaping the future of beer.

The beer world has long been male-dominated, but women are making strides in every aspect of the industry. From brewmasters crafting award-winning beers to scientists advancing fermentation research, women are proving that their influence is not just historicalโ€”itโ€™s essential to the industryโ€™s future.

As we raise a glass today, letโ€™s toast to the women shaping the beer industryโ€”not just for their contributions, but for the barriers they continue to break. The future of beer is diverse, and it tastes better because of it.

Cheeseburger Cavalry from Left Handed Giant Brewing Co.rides again, but this time alongside Slider and Double Cheese; a triple set of beers across varying styles that have been brewed to showcase the full breadth of Citra & Mosaic hops.

SLIDER West Coast Pale ๐Ÿ”
The little sibling.
Crushable & bitter with a round texture from a simple grist of Golden Promise & golden oats. Two-stage dry-hopping has focussed on the bright citrus & berry character of both hops.

CHEESEBURGER CAVALRY IPA ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”
The OG.
There's some whole leaf Citra, a small liquid addition of both varieties, with a full charge of T90 & Cryo, for a ripe juicy aroma & a welcome hum of pine.

DOUBLE CHEESE Hazy DIPA ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ”
The big sibling.
A blend of wheat & oats gives a full, creamy texture. Double-centrifuged for a clean interaction between hops & beer, at a total of 30g/L across whirlpool & dry-hop. Heavy additions of liquid mosaic highlight its sticky, stone-fruit character.

Two beers to choose from. A beaut of a DIPA called Desire. Nectaron, Citra & Nelson Sauvin. OR what about a DDH IPA with new hop superdelic.

New in from Trackโ€ฆfresh Gold Top

Luponic lusciousness will see you indulge in delectable frozen daiquiris, coat your mouth with freshly-baked peach cobbler, and crunch on retro chalk stick sweets from the match box. Citra, Nelson, Peacharine and Nectaron all play their part in this hoppy hedonism, held together by a dense body and a sprinkling of lactose.

Interesting fact for you...(full of them today ๐Ÿ˜†)

The Kernel Brewery was established in 2009 by Evin Oโ€™Riordain in Bermondsey, London. It was one of the pioneers of the modern craft beer movement in the UK and played a key role in shaping the Bermondsey Beer Mile.

It is known for its focus on fresh, unfiltered, and unpasteurized beers. Their Best Before End (BBE) dates are actually much shorter than many other breweries so as to encourage you to drink them as fresh as possible.

Because of this short dating system, Kernel beers can often be enjoyed for quite some time beyond their BBE date. To give you context... Brew Co usually date around 6 months from can to BBE date and Polly's Brew Co. around 12 months.

So....taking all this into consideration we have scored some bargain Kernel beers for you. 2 great beers, super low prices (less than half ๐Ÿ˜‰) and although past their BBE dates, still 2 scrumptious brews. Fill your baskets! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿป๐Ÿป

27/02/2025

British beer drinkers tend to enjoy a mix of classic and modern hops, often favouring those that deliver big aromas and bold flavours. Some of the most popular hops among UK craft beer enthusiasts include:

1. Citra ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Citrus, tropical fruit (mango, lime, grapefruit)
Why Itโ€™s Popular: Used in many of the UKโ€™s most popular hazy IPAs and pale ales, Citra is known for its juicy, vibrant character.

2. Mosaic ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Berry, stone fruit, pine, tropical fruit
Why Itโ€™s Popular: Adds depth and complexity, often used in single-hop beers due to its versatility.

3. Simcoe ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Pine, passionfruit, berry, earthiness
Why Itโ€™s Popular: A favourite for West Coast IPAs, adding a dank and resinous quality.

4. Nelson Sauvin ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ
Flavour/Aroma: White wine, gooseberry, tropical fruit
Why Itโ€™s Popular: Offers a unique wine-like quality that pairs well with hazy and juicy styles.

5. Galaxy ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ
Flavour/Aroma: Passionfruit, peach, citrus
Why Itโ€™s Popular: Loved for its intense fruitiness, often used in combination with Citra and Mosaic.

6. Strata ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Passionfruit, grapefruit, cannabis, dank
Why Itโ€™s Popular: A rising star in the UK craft scene, especially for those who enjoy juicy yet slightly dank beers.

7. Sabro ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Coconut, lime, tangerine, creamy texture
Why Itโ€™s Popular: Adds a smooth, tropical twist, often used in modern hazy beers.

8. Chinook ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Flavour/Aroma: Pine, spice, grapefruit
Why Itโ€™s Popular: A key hop in West Coast-style IPAs and some traditional British ales.

9. Bramling Cross ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
Flavour/Aroma: Blackcurrant, spice, earthiness
Why Itโ€™s Popular: A classic British hop that works well in stouts, porters, and traditional bitters.

10. East Kent Goldings (EKG) ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
Flavor/Aroma: Floral, honey, light spice
Why Itโ€™s Popular: The backbone of many traditional British ales, adding elegance and balance.

While Citra and Mosaic dominate the UK craft beer scene, there is a growing appreciation for new-world hops like Nelson Sauvin and Strata, as well as British varieties like Bramling Cross and East Kent Goldings in more traditional styles.

Which hop profile do you prefer - juicy, tropical, piney, or something else? ๐Ÿป

So we know that Verdant Brewing Co - Brewery & Taproom Putty has become a highly anticipated release in the craft beer community every year, but what's the deal with PuTTTy?

This TIPA version elevates the characteristics of the original Putty to new heights, offering an even more intense and immersive experience.

PuTTTy boasts a robust 10% ABV, providing a bolder profile compared to the 8% ABV of the DIPA version.

Enhanced Hop Saturation: Utilizing the same hop trio - Galaxy, Mosaic, and Azacca - PuTTTy intensifies the hop presence, delivering amplified flavours and aromas of tropical fruits, citrus, and resinous pine.

Rich Mouthfeel: The malt bill, featuring Golden Promise, wheat malt, oats, and flaked wheat, contributes to a dense, creamy texture that complements the heightened hop profile.

PuTTTy has garnered positive feedback from the beer community, with an average rating of 4.3 out of 5 on Untappd, based on over 6,800 reviews.
