Heads up English hop fans! This year's Hopwalk green hop beer has been made with Harlequin, a fantastic new wave English hop that offers vibrant tropical and tree fruit flavours. Well worth getting those orders in, trade pals!

There is still a whole week left to enjoy #CaskAleWeek. Even though it started four days ago. Cask ale has been a central pillar in our 33-year journey as a brewery. From the first brew of JHB in 1993 to the regular new seasonal cask recipes we now deliver every month of the year.

Our NZ pale, Mohawk, is out in the wild. Brewed by our Olly, it is made with experimental hop NZH106. Look for lime and passionfruit with a hint of white grape and pine. There is still some available at the brewery if trade friends want to get an order in.

Citra makes an excellent pairing for the diverse flavours - salty, sweet, sour, spicy - of Thai food. Definitely a match worth experimenting with.

September is it? Well, we'd best start telling you about our seasonals for this month. Mohawk is brewed by Olly with experimental NZ hop NZH106. This is a one-off, unlikely to be seen in the UK again...

Pint Portraits: @oakhamales.bsky.social Helter Skelter, very nice, not their usual citra hop, something gentler, more subtle, less bitey, floral with a hint of orange blossom. And reasonably poky too, I like, I foresee more than one (and I'm not driving).

Huge shoutout to the organisers of the Deafblind UK Rainbow Run which is taking place in Nene Park in Peterborough on 6th September. It's a fantastic cause, so do sign up for 3k or 5k on the day and help raise some much needed funds for this amazing local charity. deafblind.org.uk/rainbow-run/
