🍻🎂🤎BIG BURTON BRIDGE BOURBON BARREL-AGED BIRTHDAY BARLEYWINE🤎🎂🍻
So here it is, the last birthday beer for our 15th birthday celebrations and it’s been a long time coming. Back in September 2025, we had the pleasure of inviting Burton Bridge Brewery over to brew up a sleeping giant that would be released a whole year later. Introducing the Big Burton Bridge Bourbon Barrel-aged Birthday Barleywine!! 🤎🎂🍻
This is a seriously grown up beer. Sweet vanilla and oak notes from the bourbon combine with the warming booze. We used all English hops to develop some cracking marmalade, grassy and pine notes with deep flavours of to***co and leather. Boozy yet refined, subtle yet distinguished. 🍻🤎🍻
All the birthday beers are now available on the Bottle Shop & Tap Room webstore and since it’s our birthday we’ve added a little discount code HAPPY15THBIRTHDAY to pass on some birthday love to you all. Come see us this weekend for beers, pizza and good vibes!! 🍻🤎🎂🍕🤘😘

🍕🍍🛹COWABUNGA🛹🍍🍕
Is it even a birthday party without pizza? An age old philosophical question that we’ve never needed to answer as the answer is always no, no pizza means no party! Which is why our third brewery collaboration beer is with our great friends Corner Stone who have been slinging their delicious pizzas at the Bottle Shop & Tap Room for many a summer now and we are over the moon the have them back again for our 15th birthday celebrations this weekend! So let’s introduce the beer: Cowabunga 7.2% Hawaiian Hot Honey Sour 🍕🍍🍯
For this beer we used an amazing 72kg of pineapple concentrate and 100kg of Scottish honey for a big sweet, tropical base. We then balanced this out with lime concentrate, Philly sour yeast and red chilli flakes for a lip smacking sourness and tingle of capsaicin heat. Sweet, sour and tropical, this is a delicious, balanced, modern sour. 🍍🍯🌶️🤘
With some turtlly bodacious artwork from the ever awesome with beer will be dropping this weekend at the Bottle Shop & Tap Room and then available on Mondays trade mailer in 30L keykeg and 440ml cans!! 🐢🛹🤘🍍🍕

🪬🤘🍻MR CROSBY🍻🤘🪬
So here is our second 15th birthday beer, Mr Crosby 6.66% New England IPA. We couldn’t do a run of birthday beers without doing a big hoppy bastard so we decided to get our good pals from GlassHouse Beer Co over alongside our longtime suppliers Loughran Brewers Select and Crosby Hops to put together something truly delicious. 💚🤘🍻
Last week, just two days after packaging this beer, we hosted a Crosby Hops Sensory day where the incredible Nolan took us through some of the amazing hop products they grow and insight into the hop industry as a whole. It was great to see and catch up with so many local brewers!! In this beer, we’ve used all Crosby hops, focusing on their Idaho 7 and El Dorado varieties. These are truly delicious, Oregon grown hops with El Dorado bringing bold pineapple, tropical candy and watermelon and Idaho 7 bringing more tropical fruit, citrus and edge of pine. 💚🤘💚
With some art straight from the other side from our very own cult leader this is a truly delicious, hoppy juice bomb. Available fresh from Bottle Shop & Tap Room over our birthday weekend festival and then from next week in 30L keykeg and 440ml cans. 💚🪬🍻🤘🔮🗡️

🖥️ 💚🤖I’M THE HOPERATOR🤖💚🖥️
Right then you lovely lot, it’s time I told you all about what’s going on this week at Black Iris HQ. I can’t quite believe it but this weekend, our brewery turns 15 years old!! This makes me feel simultaneously very proud and very ancient. To celebrate this milestone we have brewed up 4 brand new beers which will be launching at the Bottle Shop & Tap Room this August Bank Holiday and then available to general trade from Monday 31.08.26! So let’s get the ball rolling with beer number one: I’m The Hoperator 5.6% Red IPA collab with Kraft Werks 🤖🤘🍻
Our connections with Kraftwerks have been long standing, they have always supported us from Day 1, always grabbing a case of every new beer we produce. In fact, I used to work with co-owner Sam back in my days at the Lincolnshire Poacher when Black Iris was a mere thought and owners Sam and Ed helped build our Taproom which will hit its 5th birthday this weekend too!! It’s good to have friends over to brew when it’s your birthday! 🎂🤘🍻
For this beer, we’ve brewed up a style that is rarely seen nowadays but in truth is one of my favourite beer styles going: Red IPA. This one leens into more West Coast American hopping, seeing Columbus, Cascade, Chinook and Centennial in multiple copper additions to build layers of bitterness and resinous depth. We then conditioned on Amarillo T90 and Chinook CGX for that extra kick of orange peel and citrus to balance out the malt sweetness. Gorgeous colour and drinks sublime. ❤️🖍️🪭
With some retro Kraftwerk inspired artwork from the Man-Machine that is this beer will be available in limited 9G cask, keg and cans. Cheers 🍻🤖❤️🍻

🐺🤘🍻DENNIS AND THRASHER🍻🤘🐺
Back in July, we had the pleasure of inviting long time friends of Black Iris, down to brew up a super crushable session IPA to deal with this unrelenting heatwave!!! So introducing Dennis and Thrasher 3.8% Session IPA!! 🐺☀️🍻
For this beer we focused on some of our current favourite hop varieties using Krush Whole Leaf from Yakima Chief Hops in the copper before adding Krush Cryo and Eggers Hops Special T90 at pitch to really ramp up that tropical juice. We fermented with London Fog for those big esters and finally conditioned on Indie Hops LLC Strata for a big dank hit at the end!! Delicious and drinkable, a dangerous combo!! 🐺🤘🖤
Some seriously comic artwork from the knobbly kneed genius that is giving a thrash metal twist on a British comic classic!! Inspired by the mad number of gigs I bump into these guys at!! Available now in 30L keykeg and cases of cans to trade and via the Bottle Shop & Tap Room 🐺🍻🤘🖤

🌊🦀🍻NORTHUMBERLAND 🍻🦀🌊
The Black Iris socials have been extra quiet of late as I’ve been away on a gorgeous family holiday in Northumberland. This part of the world holds a lot of special holiday memories and this week has added to them. From crab sandwiches in the Ship Inn, to coastal walks and sea swims, to spotting seals and puffins in the Farne Islands, to discovering some delicious regional beers inc Rigg & Furrow Metalhead Brewery UK Alnwick Brewery Co & Taproom and Tempest Brewing Co this has been a fabulous week of R&R. 🍻☀️🦀🖤
Back at it tomorrow with 2 new August beers dropping on the mailer plus plenty of news on our upcoming 15th birthday. Cheers 🍻🎁🎂

🔥🐐🍻WELCOME TO HELL🍻🐐🔥
Back in mid June, we had the pleasure of inviting down to come a brew a beer with us while they were down for Nottingham Craft Beer We’ve been big fans of their beers for a while, especially Looper which we think holds up a s one of the best core range IPA’s on the market. It was also great to catch up with Sophie who we’ve known in this industry for a long time. 🍻🤘🔥
So for this beer, we took inspiration from one of the greatest things we could think of from Newcastle, which is incidentally one of Top 10 Albums of all time, Venom’s classic Welcome To Hell from 1981!! For the beer, we went with Krush Whole Leaf in the boil, with Krush Cryo and Riwaka T90 at pitch. We fermented with London Fog for that classic high ester, smooth finish and the dry hopped in conditioning with more Riwaka T90 and Azzaca T90. Juicy tropical notes as you’d expect, with a hint of diesel from the Riwaka. Supremly crushable and totally delicious. 🔥🐐🍻
Available this week in 9G cask only. With some GOAT level artwork from the killer 🐐🍻🤘

🍻🤘🖤NCBF 26🖤🤘🍻
What. A. Weekend!!! We had such a great time Nottingham Craft Beer getting to hang out with old friends, sling beers in the sunshine and celebrate to amazing beer scene in our city!! Thanks to everyone who came down for a pint! 🥳🍻☀️
Despite all the weekends fun, we are back in the brewery with two fresh beers dropping on our mailer this morning. It’s the return of Ngaru Iti and Ngaru Nui, our single hopped NZ pales, each one highlighting a specific NZ hop. Ngaru Iti is our super sessionable 3.4% NZ Pale hopped entirely with Motueka for that signature lime, slight tropical, grassy finish. Ngaru Nui 6.0% IPA is all Nelson Sauvin for pure passionfruit, white grape and a touch of gooseberry. These beers are also a showcase of Eggers Hops who have constantly delivered some of the best tasting hops we’ve come across. These beers are also available this time round in 30L keykeg and cans too!! Check out the link to our mailer in our linktree for more info. 🇳🇿💚🤘
