Tonight. 5PM.
'A new combo for us here - Idaho 7, Mosaic & Motueka. Delicious notes of dank zesty lime and tropical fruit on top of a pillowy body packed into an IPA that is incredibly drinkable for 6.4% beer.'
'This 5.5% IPA is loaded with two trusty hops - Citra & Simcoe. Fresh citrus and pine are stitched together perfectly in this very approachable beer. No need to be scared of this friendly creature.'
'A few weeks ago we received a visit from Kem of @eggershops to help us brew up a NZ DIPA! Eggers are a small family-run hop farm in Upper Moutere NZ. The quality of the hops they gave us are nothing short of the best in the world. Daemon Engine is hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Eggers Special, a heritage Riwaka variety. All grown on the Eggers farm.'
'You didn't think we would let summer go by without another one of these did you? When we created the original SCOOP it was our first attempt at the style, so as you might expect we learned a lot on how we could make it better next time... so we did just that. SCOOP - Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Sour 😎'
'We have an AWESOME new IPA for you this week. There is a mass of evidence that Citra and Strata is one of the best combos out there, but we know a secret…add some Rakau and its top tier!'
'Welcome to the first instalment of the Western Seaboard Project, a new series of IPAs inspired by contemporary Pacific coast beer culture. The focus of these beers is less on bitterness and more on crisp, paired back malt profiles with modern, ultra-vivid hop character. WSP #1 features Mosaic, Citra and Strata. '
'This IPA is 100% hopped with glorious Citra. Look out for notes of ripe tropical fruits, and Burnt Mill's softer malt bill makes this super-easy drinking too.'
'Say hello to our first international collab! We were joined at the brewery by Mike Zahra of @heavyriffbeer (from Saint Louis, MO.) who was showcasing their beer at @lcbfestival on the @brewersassoc bar. As you might have guessed, the name is a reference to the song by Crowded House. It's a Heavy Riff recipe that we've brewed our own take on, adding some of our own elements. 🍍This juicy Pale Ale uses El Dorado and BRU-1 hops for notes of pineapple. We then added pineapple purée and concentrate to push the pineapple to the fore. It'll come flying like a spark, to inflame you'
Full Circle Brew Co
In collaboration with Farmyard Brew Co
IPA - Imperial / Double
'In collaboration with our friends at Farmyard Brew Co. Brewed with Nectaron, Galaxy, Columbus and Idaho 7 it's piney and resinous with flavours of passionfruit, pineapple and citrus. Expect a hop-forward punch in the face alongside a silky smooth mouth feel which is provided by 3 different types of oats which make over a quarter of the original mash bill. '
'Inspired by Flanders Reds of old, Blood Magick is a blended sour red ale combining 70% provision strength ‘young’ stock beer aged 4 months, with around 30% ‘mature’ stock beer aged in well used whisky casks for an average of one year. The combination of old and young beers has produced a complex sweet and sour flavour profile with a subtle oak character. This blend was transferred onto 200g/l of 2024 harvest blackberries in addition to 200g/l spent chuckleberries and lees from a previous batch of Altar of Plagues.'
Holy Goat Brewing
In collaboration with Turning Point
Stout - Imperial / Double
'Norwegian Imperial Stout Brewed in collaboration with our friends at Turning Point Brew Co. This Imperial stout was fermented with Norwegian Kveik (yeast) and brewed with nine different malts and a blend of demerara and muscovado sugars. Drink young or age, this will develop over time. '
'Brewed with all local Scottish malts and fermented with our house Brettanomyces blend notable for its citrus and tropical fruit characteristics. After a three-month primary fermentation this beer was refermented and conditioned with the juice and zest of Japanese yuzu for another month. Yuzu is prized for its intense citrus character and aromatic zest. We added a small amount of clementine juice to round out the citrus juice characteristics.'
'Pilsner brewed with Heidelberg pilsner malt, some flaked rice and corn, and hopped with a new US hop variety called Lorien.'
'Looking back to the 2010s for inspiration from the band Interpol, Barricade is a TDH DIPA that blends bold hop flavors with a smooth finish. Featuring notes of citrus and stone fruits,this beer delivers a satisfying aftertaste. Hops - Citra Cryo, Motueka, Nectaron. HBC 630 Cryo Packaged - 27/8/2024'
'We’ve partnered with LNFG to craft a special beer for Bis’s 30th anniversary. This Citra & Hop Revolution Blend Pale Ale is the perfect wayto celebrate their vibrant legacy and isinspired by their 1999 album, 'Social Dancing.' Hops - Citra, Hop Revolution Blend Packaged - 2/9/2024'
'After Uranus there could only be…Double Uranus! This DIPA is an amped version of Uranus, with even sweeter layers of cantaloupe melon, fresh apricot, juicy pear and zesty lime. Because when you have a good thing, why not double it.'
'The final planet and last release in our new planets series! This Pale features the newly named hop Krush, previously HBC 586. Layers of freshly cut mango, fleshy apricot, subtle mandarin and red berry.'
'Grab your kayak! This new IPA is swimming with notes of fragrant orange, ripe pineapple and zesty grapefruit.'
'The next release in our new planets series! This Pale has juicy layers of sweet mandarin, honeydew melon and freshly peeled citrus zest.'
'Our second collab with our friends @thisweekincraft.beer! This IPA is packed with notes of tropical passionfruit, ripe mango and fresh plum.'
'The next planet and release in our new planets series! This Pale has candy sweet layers of cantaloupe melon, fresh apricot, juicy pear and zesty lime.'
'With an aroma of ripe mango, papaya and, in our brewers opinion, Jelly Tots (yes, really), it tricks a drinker into believing they’re in for a hype juice explosion. By the time it hits the palate, all of those amazing citrus notes we love so much come to the fore and an all out attack of pithy bitter notes rock up to the party. A single hop, maxed out hop bill in tribute to one of our favourite varietals; El Dorado, we salute you.'
'Citra, Comet, Enigma Mosaic. Wanting to pay homage to the humble kitchen discos and afters that have peppered themselves through our lives here at Polly’s, we threw some ideas around ideas around a creative meeting and Discodelica was born from it.'
'Working with slight variations on established hop combinations is one of our favourite things to do here at Polly’s HQ. As we work with so many different hops week by week, our brewers love to see how the substitution of one hop for another elevates and accentuates flavour profiles across the board. We’ve always been huge fans of Spur here at HQ, but what if instead of those silky stonefruit notes, we brought in a whole swag bag full of freshly cut pineapple instead? A salivating substitution it turned out to be and swapping Simcoe for Bru-1 to pair with Azacca and Citra earned our brewers a very much well-deserved pat on the back. Joining those pineapple notes are a fruit salad of mango, papaya orange, and fresh cut grapefruit for a pale ale that is so incredibly moreish.'
'Pale ale hopped with Azacca, Citra & Mosaic'
'El Dorado and Simcoe is a pretty solid combination as things go. One that has weaved itself in and out of our brew plans over the course of our existence and has concreted itself as a go-to pairing for ourselves here at Polly’s HQ. How do you elevate something that works so well though? We’re eternally thankful that the industry we work in is constantly innovating and creating new hop varieties for us to utilise, and it blew our collective minds when we realised we hadn’t taken in-house favourite Bru-1 into the mix with this Champions League combo. Packaged up into one of our classic Polly’s pale ales, this beer is absolutely bursting with stonefruit sweetness, fresh cut pineapples, passionfruit, and melons at the front, with a whisper of citrus rind bitterness that keeps everything from tipping too far into cloyingly sweet territory. Sometimes you just gotta hit ‘em with the ol’ razzle dazzle!'
'Citra centennial Eldorado'
'Sour,Sharp,Orange,Pomegranate, Lemon, with light body and watery flavour. '

'The official beer of Farm Trip 2024. A Double Dry Hopped IPA brewed with our mates at DEYA. Hopped with Nelson Sauvin, HBC 1090, Strata, Strata CGX & Nelson Sauvin Hop Kief'
' A beautiful, straw coloured pale bitter brewed simply to deliver moreish drinkability. British pale ale malt and hops come together to deliver intense hoppiness and assertive bitterness. You'll find notes of blackcurrant, freshly cut hay and marmalade on toast. The finish is refreshing and clean. A perfect thirst quencher.'

Pale Ale - New England / Hazy
'Brewed in collaboration with Malt Miller, one of the UK's best online homebrewing supply stores - we had them over to the brewery for a fun brew day, and interview with our very own Matt (Head Brewer) and Stefan (Events & Creative Manager) that's now live on Youtube. This juicy, sessionable Pale is hopped with Citra, Citra Lupomax, Galaxy & Vic Secret and will be poured at Love & Beer, a joint festival between The Malt Miller & Craft Beer Channel!'
'A tropical medley of fleshy Peach and aromatic Pineapple are abundant here due to a combination of Bru-1 and Strata CGX hops, which produces a tantalisingly juicy flavour profile within this pillowy IPA. A Citra addition helps to keep this beer balanced and adds a slight pithy bitterness on the back end while a creamy, fluffy mouthfeel ensures a satisfyingly fresh experience.'
'Inspired by spiced pastries with sweet vanilla icing, we’ve brewed an autumnal treat at a sessionable ABV conditioned on a medley of juicy blackberries, strawberries and sloe berries. Each sip reveals sweet swirls of maple and vanilla, perfectly balanced by subtle cinnamon spices. '

'soft & clean, beautifully drinakable & juicy. Hopping between 2 continents utilising US Mosaic & Citra and beautiful top notes from New Zealand with Riwaka Sub Zero Hop Kief.'
'We got heavy handed with oats & our favourite pillowy yeast to create a strong base to support the volume of Citra that we threw at this beer, with Simcoe adding the top notes. '
'first special release of a recurring series - whale watcher is a strong IPA with a combination dry hopping of citra & amarillo. assertive, aromatic & juicy fermented with our pillow soft yeast'
