• Taste: A deep malt backbone delivering rich layers of smooth toffee, sweet biscuit, and roasted nuts. 🍪 🥜
• Finish: Cleans up with a subtle, warming touch of milk chocolate and a balanced, low-bitterness crispness. 🍫

Vault City Brewery - Goosebumps 2: Return of the (S)lime [4.5% Lemon & Lime Sour]

Gosebumps 2: Return of the (S)lime is a playfully spooky, heavily fruited lemon and lime modern gose crafted by Edinburgh’s Vault City Brewing. Brewed specifically as a limited-edition Halloween release, it leans heavily into a nostalgic, monster-movie aesthetic.

Root & Peak 7.1% Hazy IPA

"Root and Peak is a hugely flavourful hazy IPA, brewed in collaboration with the talented team at Arbor. They made the journey from their Bristol HQ to join us in Bakewell to create something truly special. A generous blend of New World hops delivers vibrant tropical fruit aromas and flavours from the very first sip. Pouring a bright light gold with a shimmering haze, it offers a soft, pillowy mouthfeel balanced by a gentle bitterness. The elevated ABV brings a subtle warming character, adding depth and complexity to this smooth, expressive IPA."

Belgian Range of the Week - [De Huyghe] Delirium

Delirium Red - 8% 🔴
Is a dark deep red colour with a pink laced head. The aroma is soft and fruity with hints of almond and mild cherry. It has a sweet and fruity taste but is perfectly balanced between sour and sweet.

Delirium Nocturnum - 8.5% 🔵
Has a dark red/brown hue. On the nose is a mixture of caramel, mocha, chocolate, liquorice and coriander. The initial flavouring is perfectly balanced, followed by an increasing bitterness from the hop, and from the roasted chocolate malts. It finishes with bitterness and sweetness in unity.

Delirium Argentum - 7% ⚪
Full bodied and intense, sweet caramel malt flavours balanced against a sharp, citrus-forward hop bitterness for a complex finish. On the nose there is a grapefruit citrus touch, accompanied by a spicy note with a subtle note of caramel.

Delirium Delirio - 0.3%🟢
The full pleasure of Delirium Tremens, without the abv. Full-bodied, round, and spiced on the palate, leading to a refreshing, fruity, and hoppy aftertaste that functions as an ideal thirst quencher.

Each are in limited stock, so if you want to get one or two for yourself, don't wait!
