It’s easy to tell that Spring is now here! The clocks have moved forward, the days are longer and that can only mean one thing, newly brewed beer is on the horizon. As spring arrives each year, it’s remarkable to see breweries around the UK launching new recipes, brewery tours and the wide range of Beer festivals that will be hosted throughout the latter part of the year. And the team at The Cask Connoisseur can’t wait to be attending a lot this year!
Beer News
Lightly Toasted
Abbots Bromley based Freedom Brewery have now joined mutual forces together over the past month due to the potential insolvency of Toast Brewery beers. It’s understood under the new licensing arrangements, Freedom Brewery will exclusively brew and distribute Toast beers under the new agreement. Toast brewing have successfully showcased over the years how they have been able to brew beer with surplus bread, this is a unique way of brewing beer whilst replacing some parts of Malted Barley.
Crossing The Border Delivers Gold
Scotland’s town Dalkeith were able to deliver a superb result when it came to the National Beer awards hosted by SIBA, (Society Of Independent Brewers Association) which took place in Liverpool last month. Cross Borders Brewing took the helm spot when it was awarded overall Cask Champion with their mighty India Pale Ale at 60% ABV.
Beer On The Rise?
With the new Tax year set in stone, there is an intense amount of pressure and warnings being directed from brewers across the UK with the average price of a beer could hit £5.00. This alarming outcome has been foreseen from the increase of National Minimum Wage, a rise in National Insurance Contributions and a decrease in the threshold for people to start paying it.
The hospitality sector across the whole country is already taking the strain with rising costs from liquor to dry goods and the biggest of them all payroll. It’s no wonder that in order for overheads to be achieved, the price of a pint will hit a new all time high of £5.00.
Beer Releases
Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame, have recently launched a one of a kind beer which has been extraordinarily brewed with just one style of malt and hop (SMaSH).
One Hop Wonder 4.5% ABV uses lager malt and UK Chinook hop to create a straw coloured beer with fruity and floral tones. The beer is available across many Shepherd Neame pubs around London and the South east of England.
Craft Beer gurus, Brewdog have created a smashing Dry hopped DIPA (Double India Pale Ale) which is certainly going to be a hit for many beer fans across the country. Pinball 8.0% ABV is certainly a go to beer that’s packed full coconut, grapefruit and juicy oranges and many more of those tropical fruit notes.
Buxton Brewery have announced a new vegan beer which symbolises the greatness of Britain’s Brewing Heritage. Old Ale 6.5% ABV is a velvety textured beer with huge amounts of treacle and candied fruit aromas. It’s certainly one of those bitters that reminds you of the history of the UK’s Brewing Industry and delivers an understanding of the importance of great historic beer.
Dorset’s Badger Brewery have released a full bodied, fruity and cherrylicious mild. Red Rascal Cherry Mild 4.0% ABV delivers what it exactly says on the bottle. Enormous amount of cherries which lingers on the palate. This deep red coloured beer, greets succulent textures of rich caramel and a balanced bitterness. The Cask Connoisseur are looking forward to sampling Red Rascal and will be providing a written and Youtube review in the coming weeks.
Pub giant business, Greene King have launched their new seasonal spring beer in conjunction with the National Brewing Apprentice Programme. Spring Break 4.4% ABV is a hoppy golden ale that has been designed to make drinkers think of Spring and warmer days are on the horizon. The flavours of lychee, peach are ultimately refreshing in this tropical fruit punch.
The idea of Spring Break was originally created back in 2022 by two apprentices who were studying at the University of Nottingham whilst undertaking The Brewing Apprentice Programme.
Brewers at Great Newsome Brewery have been busy to not only launch one beer, but two have been added to the core range list.
Firstly, Bushel 4.1% ABV is a New World IPA which is the hoppiest beer to date that the brewery has released. It’s expected each sip there will be large bursts of fresh stone fruit and tropical orange.
Secondly, Clattering 4.4% ABV is a rich oatmeal stout which is brewed in traditional dry style with rich roasted cocoa flavours. Also, there is a warming marmalade-esque aroma which is hugely welcoming.

Background – Here at The Cask Connoisseur, even though we’re not subscribed to every potential newsletter or source of information, we receive around four hundred emails over the course of a month with various promotions, new release information, brewery newsletters,updates etc. Add on social media posts and that amounts to somewhere well over 1000 pieces of information being reviewed per month. The aim of this monthly round up is to provide a summary of the most interesting bits along with upcoming events that can be gleaned from them. The downside to a monthly review is a lot of “special offers” will have come and gone.
