St Austell Brewery Anthem session pale ale
Session beers are in hot demand and this release from Cornish brewery St Austell is a great choice for pale ale drinkers. Using four different British-grown hops, it’s flavourful and fruity, with assertive but well-balanced hoppiness.
Available from:
Tesco (£4.50/4 x 440ml)
Vault City Triple Fruited Mango Sour Beer
A fresh, juicy sour, crammed with mango flavours and aromas, gentle tanginess and a slightly saline edge.
Available from:
The Whisky Exchange (£3.50/44cl)
Brewgooder Fonio Session IPA
This fruity, crisp IPA is a collab from purpose-led brewery Brewgooder and NYC brew legend Brooklyn, made using fonio – a West African heritage grain sourced from smallholder farms in the region. Sales go towards clean water initiatives and further investment in growers.
Available from:
Waitrose (£6.65)
Sober Brummie
We were really impressed with this award-winning 0.5% pale ale. Triple hopped, it’s absolutely rammed with bold citrus and piney flavours that makes for one of the best non-alcoholic beers we’ve tried.
Available from:
Birmingham Brewing Company (£2.85/330ml)
People’s Captain Legend APA
A classic American pale ale with a piney, citrus kick, this is great served with spicy summery food like tacos or kebabs. A percentage of each beer sold also goes to the People’s Captain Foundation to support mental health initiatives.
Available from:
People’s Captain (£20.99/8 pack)
Siren Lumina Session IPA
All summery tropical hoppiness, this winningly accessible IPA has a beautifully soft mouthfeel thanks to the addition of oats in the beer.
Available from:
Siren Craft Brew (£2.10/330ml)
