Triggerfish Driftwood Monsterfish (11.2% ABV) This special edition of Triggerfish’s Monsterfish imperial stout has been infused with vanilla and bourbon.

Richmond Hill The Up Side (5% ABV) This new session IPA from Richmond Hill showcases the recently released Nectaron hop from New Zealand, with plenty of tropical fruit character. Look out too for this year’s Gimme Shelter, a collab with the local homebrew club. This year’s brew is a red lager, due for release in October. Yeti Underground Movement Das Schunkel Bier (5.5% ABV) Rather than simply pairing their festbier with a pretzel, the YUM team took it a step further and actually added 22kg of pretzels to the mash tun. The writers of the Reinheitsgebot would turn in their graves. Aegir Project See You Next Fall IPA (6% ABV) You’ll have to head to the Noordhoek brewery to sample this new juicy IPA, brewed to celebrate the change of season and bid farewell to cold weather until next fall.

GALAXY Kennel Brewery Four Good Paws Lager (4% ABV) Four Good Paws is a rare thing at this constantly experimenting brewery – a permanent release.

Also launching soon is Mütley Crüe, a dry- hopped and barrel-aged fruited sour. Afro Caribbean x Cape Town Meadery Braggot (6.5% ABV) A collab with Cape Town’s only meadery, this braggot (a beer/mead blend) melds dark malts with two African honeys.

Jack Black Super Crush Cherry Ale (4.5% ABV) Following on from the extremely popular Super Crush Grapefruit Radler, Jack Black’s latest special release is a cherry ale. It’s currently only available on tap at the brewery, but keep an eye out for the packaged version later in the year. NEW BREWS 14 | Spring 2022 | ontapmag.co.za
