They require lots of lactose for creaminess but fans love the fruit smoothie texture and flavour. Straddling the divide between sweet and sour are the divisive ‘ice-cream sours’ – beers that you’ll either love or loathe. But rather than being a flash in the pan these have persisted as a fun and attractive summer tipple, with beer site USA Beer Ratings describing them as a summer “beer of choice”. Rosé beers first made an impact as a trending beer around 2020. Rosé beers are proving more than just a flash in the pan. It’s a rich beer culture with plenty to offer and as more people enter the market at the hazy gateway there’s a natural progression to other big flavoured styles.

The Belgian growth curve is just getting started Downunder, says Donaldson, and if the US is anything to go by, we’ll see more Witbiers, Saisons, Lambics, Tripels, Dubbels etc appearing in the southern hemisphere. While Hamish Cross of Norfolk’s Duration Brewing sees a trend towards what he calls “sessionable” Pale Ales – those with a lower ABV. Overall, says Donaldson, the trend for IPA will be more driven by hoppy aromas and flavour rather than bitterness. “The style has been around in its current guise for 15 years (big, hoppy) and it will continue to be popular – but we’ll see fracturing and prism-ing of the style with things like Cold IPA, Mountain IPA, Brut IPA, Black, Red and IPAs, etc. “The fruity peach flavours are so well balanced with the acidity from Espiga Brewery.”ĭonaldson also believes that IPA is here to stay – but with modifications. They’ve been around since the 16th Century, but their distinctive style is only just being rediscovered by craft connoisseurs.Ĭraig Willmott, founder of the UK’s HonestBrew is a major fan. “If you’ve never tried a Berliner Weisse – a traditional sour style from Berlin – the Espiga Peach Berliner Weisse is a great place to start,” he says. Berliner Weisseīerliner Weisses are cloudy, sour beers with a distinctive lactic acid flavour. ‘Champagne-yeast’ lagers like Urbanaut’s Hacienda Disco Beer are trending.
