It’s no secret that growth in the UK craft beer market has started to slow and the reason is quite simple, it’s not very accessible. As well as the mouth-watering fruity flavours, the eye-catching bottles are the perfect addition to your serving table when putting on a spot of al fresco dining for friends. Consumers will be actively seeking out new, exotic flavours; something which can provide the element of escapism and excitement that we’ve all been missing.

Available from April 2021, Caleño’s original Light & Zesty non-alcoholic spirit will be available in cans ready mixed with a naturally light tonic. Pineau de Charentes is a little-known regional specialty of the Charentes Maritime region of France – north of Bordeaux and encompassing the Cognac-producing region. It is made from fresh grape juice, which is blended with Cognac and left to age in oak barrels.Bermondsey-based Fourpure Brewing Co. has unveiled a rebrand in a bid to simplify its range of beers and make its pours less daunting to craft curious consumers. Another key factor in our launch is the fact that the RTD (ready-to-drink) market is truly taking off in the UK and presents an important opportunity for our brand. Suffolk-based brewery and distillery Adnams has launched small batch gin Jardín Mexicano. The limited-edition seasonal gin includes Avocado leaf, traditionally used in Mexico for its antioxidant and mood enhancing properties in tea. I first started drinking Pineau on a trip to the beautiful Atlantic island of Isle de Ré, just off the cost of La Rochelle, in 1994 and I’ve always had a soft spot for it,” Daniel Szor, Cotswolds Distillery founder, said. “Hence the excitement at the idea of aging our Cotswolds single malt spirit in these casks.”

That’s why we decided to launch new Caleño Light & Zesty cans in the run up to Summer, so that Caleño can be enjoyed ready-mixed and out and about - and be there to support consumers in their lifestyle choices, as life slowly starts to return to some sort of normal. It’s the perfect destination drink for the warmer seasons.”Bottled at 24%, Pinkster Spritz is made with gin-soaked raspberries left over from producing Pinkster and is initially available in Raspberry and Hibiscus and Elderflower and Raspberry flavours. Avocado leaf brings subtle notes of anise and liquorice which blend with a mix of classic and Mexican-inspired botanicals including epazote, chipotle chili, lime peel, Mexican oregano and coriander. Cold Town Beer was first launched in 2018 and named in honour of Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh, which claims to be the first in Britain to brew lager in 1835. More than 20 different beers have been brewed by Cold Town Brewery to date, including pale ales, IPA’s, pilsner, saison and berliner-weisse sour beers. All of our brews begin their journey in bars, and then are brought online when we feel that we’ve received a seal of approval from our customers who drink them and the bar teams who help create them.
