4 WEST COAST HAZY IPA A world exclusive, made for your enjoyment this summer HAZY LITTLE THING Unfiltered, unprocessed and very tasty HAZY SESSION IPA 4.2% UNFILTERED IPA 6.7% HAZY GOLD RIPE FRUIT RICH, FRUITY AND REFRESHING ENOUGH TO WANT ANOTHER HAZY GOLD RESINOUS PINE AND CITRUS BISCUIT, SYRUP AND LIGHT FRUIT Made by the incentive winners from last year s Craft Beer Residency, this is a brand new, world exclusive to M&B. Made with five different hops and kept to a sessionable, we tweaked it with a little bit of blueberry juice and retained it s haziness, locking in all the flavour. As brewers, we get the privilege to sample our beers straight from the tanks in all their raw glory. Some beers need a little polishing to get ready to go out into the world, while others the hop-heavy, rowdy, crowd-pleasers should just be left alone. We wanted to share a brewery-only treat with you and are proud to present Hazy Little Thing, our unfiltered, unprocessed IPA, straight from the tanks and into the keg. 6 7

5 OTRA VEZ LIME & AGAVE GOZE A refreshing and fruity modern take on gose CALIFORNIA PALE ALE A session IPA that captures all the greatness of American beer GOSE WITH LIME AND AGAVE 4.9% SESSION IPA 4.3% LIGHT STRAW HONEY AND ZEST SLIGHTY TART WITH A FRUITY FINISH CLEAR GOLD SOFT ZESTY HOPS WELL BALANCED BETWEEN FRUIT AND GRAIN We combined the classic flavours of lime and blue agave nectar in a tart gose-style beer for the ultimate answer to the heavy heat of the day. The bright lime flavour helps wake up the palate while the mild sweetness of the agave rounds out the tangy zip of the citrus fruit. Light and refreshing, this all-new Otra Vez will have you calling for another round. From the peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the Pacifc beach front, California IPA is as enjoyable as the Golden State itself. This session IPA is golden in colour, easy drinking and full of citrusy and piney hop flavour. 8 9

6 SOUTHERN GOTHIC PILSNER An unfiltered take on the world s favourite beer style HOP BULLET DOUBLE IPA Extreme brewing from California UNFILTERED PILSNER 5.2% DOUBLE IPA 8.0% HAZY GOLD SPICY, FLORAL NOBLE HOPS CRISP AND HOPPY WITH SOME PALE MALT TO BALANCE Clear straw colour with a small, wispy white head of sticky foam. Classic Pils aromas produced by spicy, floral noble hops and cereallike grain. The flavour is crisp and hoppy with some pale malt to balance, alongside leafy grassiness and mild lemony citrus. Lightbodied but fluffed up slightly by the carbonation to create a clean, moderately bitter brew. AMBER INTENSE PINE AND GRAPEFRUIT MALT SWEETNESS, HIGH BITTERNESS AND LOADS OF AROMA Hops are the name of the game with a double IPA, but we knew we had to take it one step further. With Hop Bullet, we re using a new technique, hitting the beer with a double-barrelled slug of Magnum hops and lupulin dust pure, concentrated hop flavour directly into the tank to emphasise the intense pine and citrus flavours of classic West Coast hops

7 HOP HUNTER An innovative beer to give a fresh hop hit all year round HOPTIMUM A huge triple IPA IPA 6.2% TRIPLE IPA 9.6% LIGHT AMBER SOFT RIPE FRUIT SWEET BERRY AND LIGHT FRUITS Hop Hunter IPA harnesses the complex flavours of just-picked hops through an all-new method of using steam to distil wet hops before they even leave the fields. This revolutionary technique captures and intensifies the natural flavours, creating a unique and intensely aromatic beer. Our custom process gathers pure hop oil which, when combined with traditional whole-cone hops in the brew kettle, makes for an incredible IPA experience. GOLDEN INTENSE CITRUS PINE AND TREACLE A HUGE FLAVOUR ENCOMPASSING BITTERNESS AND SWEETNESS Our brewers selected the finest, most flavourful hops, pushed them beyond their limits and forged them into this all-new triple IPA. This reimagined Hoptimum is our hoppiest beer yet, providing a blend of tropical and citrus hop aroma that delivers a refined yet aggressive character

8 OVILA WHITE ALE Sierra Nevada take on a Belgian style WEST COAST HAZY IPA (CASK) A world exclusive, made for your enjoyment this summer BELGIAN WHITE ALE 5.3% HAZY SESSION IPA 4.2% HAZY BLONDE ORANGE PEEL, CORIANDER FUNKY, FRUITY AND COMPLEX HAZY GOLD RIPE FRUIT RICH, FRUITY AND REFRESHING ENOUGH TO WANT ANOTHER The monks at the Abbey of New Clairvaux hold themselves to high standards. So when they challenged us to create a beer that transcends all others, our brewers blended Old World tradition with modernday mastery to deliver the perfect expression of a Belgian witbier, worthy of a goblet but comfortable in a pint. Made by the incentive winners from last year s Craft Beer Residency, this is a brand new, world exclusive to M&B. Made with five different hops and kept to a sessionable, we tweaked it with a little bit of blueberry juice and retained it s haziness, locking in all the flavour

BRIGHT COPPER LIGHT MALT, MILD HOPS SMOOTH, TOUCH OF CARAMEL, CRISP FINISH The name Steam Beer dates back to the gold rush era when beer was brewed under primitive conditions without the use of refrigeration steam would rise from the cooling beer during fermentation.

15 STONE TANGERINE EXPRESS IPA An IPA packed with whole tangerine and pineapple WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC A classic steam beer with grapefruit and citrus flavours FRUIT IPA 6.7% CALIFORNIA STEAM BEER 4.5% GOLDEN ORANGE, PINEAPPLE, TROPICAL ORANGE PITH, RESINOUS, BITTER CLEAR, GOLDEN FLORAL, CITRUS, SPICY CITRUS AND GRAPEFRUIT TONES This ain t no just-add-juice approach. This one is for adults. We use bountiful whole tangerine purée, which brings pithy, crisp bitterness to the citrus flavour. In addition to the complexities of the tangerine the likes of which you can only get by using the whole fruit we judiciously employ just a hint of whole pineapple for a backnote. Hailing from the USA s West Coast, steam beer is a classic craft beer style which uses lager yeast but is fermented at higher temperatures than usual to give a fruitier finish. We hopped this with Cascade, the hop that ignited the US Craft Beer scene in the 1980s and continues to be one of our favourite hops today. Cascade gives a nice crisp bitterness accompanied with flavours and aromas of grapefruit and other citrus fruits. A crisp classic! 28 29
