Jubel Beer

The latest beer is the aptly named Coast, a crisp lager blended with the zing of juicy grapefruit. Coast joins Alpine, which is cut with peach and Urban, cut with elderflower to form Jubel’s trio of gluten-free and vegan, highly sessionable craft lagers.

Appealing to adventurous craft beer drinkers and fruit cider fans looking for a less sweet, refreshing option, Jubel stacks up at a sociable 4% ABV and has more than 60% less sugar than a fruit cider or G&T.

Jubel's Alpine and Urban beers are stocked in Sainsbury's and Amazon - where you can also get Coast.

Lucky Saint

The perfect companion for a meal, Lucky Saint is currently available in over 800 restaurants, hotels, bars and pubs across the UK, from luxury venues such as The Rosewood, The Connaught, Lyaness and The Berkeley, to casual eateries like Dishoom, Honest Burgers and The Ivy Collection. The Unfiltered Lager is also available to buy off-trade in Sainsbury’s as part of their Future Brands initiative.

Gorgeous Brewery

Gorgeous Brewery produces eight unique beers, which can be enjoyed at The Bull, on tap or bottled, or fresh from the barrel at the brewery’s own bar. All of Gorgeous Brewery’s beers have a distinct label design and tasting notes. They are made from the finest ingredients and crafted, bottled and labelled by hand. The range includes a selection of thirst quenching, light bodied pale ales, a dark and rich vanilla malt stout and seasonal IPAs.

Seven of the beers including, Glowfly, Greaseball and Goofyhoof are vegan, unfined and unfiltered, and therefore retain a natural haze, as well as offering a more intense flavour.

St Peter's Without Gold

St Peter's Without Gold is a full-bodied beer with a slightly sweet malt flavour combined with a citrus bitterness, which hopes to quench the thirst of ale and lager drinkers looking to reduce their units and make healthier drinking choices.
