Renais Gin Renais is a gin made using upcycled French wine grapes, created by Alex and Emma Watson. Expect juniper, citrus and light floral notes, with a mineral edge. Use it in a Martini or French 75, or serve with tonic for a straightforward gin upgrade. The family’s Burgundy winemaking background gives staff something useful to mention when customers ask about it.

Bavik Super Pils WINNER OF THE WORLD'S BEST PILSNER AT THE WORLD BEER AWARDS 2026 Bavik Super Pils is a Belgian pilsner from Brouwerij De Brabandere, brewed with barley malt and aroma hops. The brewery follows four principles: no other grains, only aroma hops, no dilution during brewing and a long cold maturation. In the glass, it is pale gold with a firm white head. Saaz hops bring a gentle aromatic character, balanced by crisp bitterness and a clean finish. A traditional pilsner at 5.2%.

Elder Water Elder is a British spring water brand supplying water from Somerset in returnable glass bottles. Its approach centres on collecting, washing and refilling bottles, keeping them in use rather than treating them as disposable packaging. The water comes from certified organic land and contains naturally occurring minerals. Developed with hospitality in mind, Elder combines bottled spring water with a return system that brings the traditional milk delivery model to water

Clockwork Stout Changing Times | 4.2% 30L Keg Clockwork Velvet Stout is brewed by Changing Times Brewery in Glasnevin, Dublin. The brewery opened in 2024, bringing together publicans and brewers to produce its own range of beers. Clockwork is its Irish dry stout, with deep roasted flavours, a smooth texture and a dry finish.

Tornatore Etna Rosso

Tornatore Etna Rosso comes from Sicily’s Mount Etna and is made from two local grape varieties, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. It is a red with medium body, aromas of wild berries, cherries and spice, and a juicy, savoury palate. The Tornatore family’s roots in the area stretch back to the nineteenth century. This wine introduces their Etna range through the character of its native grapes and distinctive volcanic landscape. 8

Kahlúa Coffee Cream Liqueur Kahlúa Coffee Cream brings together real cream and the brand’s rum and coffee liqueur, made with Arabica coffee beans. Launched in the UK in September 2026, it is a new addition to the cream liqueur category at 17% ABV. As you'd expect, coffee is at the centre of the flavour, balanced by creamy sweetness and a smooth texture. It extends the Kahlúa range beyond the original coffee liqueur with a distinctly creamier style

La Mécanique du Vin Orange La Mécanique du Vin Orange is a French wine made from Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Rolle and Muscat. Contact between the juice and grape skins gives the wine its colour and adds texture to the palate. Floral notes sit alongside fresh acidity, with more weight than its pale appearance might suggest. The name translates as “the mechanics of wine”, reflecting the processes involved in turning grapes into wine in the bottle.

Pickly Pete’s Pickle Liquor Pickly Pete’s Pickle Liquor brings dill pickle flavour to the liqueur category. Try it as a chilled shot, add a savoury twist to a Margarita, or mix with cola for a pickle highball. It also brings a dill note to a Bloody Mary, giving bartenders another way to build on the growing interest in savoury cocktail flavours.

Allsopp’s IPA English IPA | 4.4% 9G Cask Only Allsopp’s IPA returns in 2026 with a recipe inspired by Samuel Allsopp’s original 1822 brew, first developed in a teapot in Burton upon Trent. Brewed with British Golden Promise barley and Challenger hops, it is dark copper in colour, with herbal, spicy and resinous aromas. A rounded bitterness balances the sweet malt backbone, giving it a full, complex body.

Karma Cola Cherry Karma Cola Cherry is the latest addition to the Karma Drinks range, bringing cherry flavour to its organic cola. The new can carries the brand’s eye-catching illustrated design. It joins a long-standing range of organic and ethically made drinks created with sustainability and fairer sourcing in mind long before it became a trend.

Sitara Indian Spiced Rum Sitara Indian Spiced Rum blends pot and column distilled Indian rums with seven botanical distillates. Made from sugar cane, it combines vanilla and spiced honey flavours with floral notes and tropical mango. Bottled at 40% ABV, it comes from the makers of Samsara Gin. The combination of rum, fruit and botanicals gives it an Indian character, with warming spice running alongside the sweeter flavours rather than dominating the whole drink.

Hawkstone opened the farm gate Now’s the time to bring the rest of British farming through it. 12

// The Winter Collection 2026

Service, Selection & Expertise - Since 2002

Inn-sight

Hawkstone has put British farming back on the bar top, and now’s the moment to use that spotlight for the other producers fighting the same fight.

ost lagers are sold on a holiday: a sun-drenched veranda, a plate of tapas, somewhere you’d rather be. Hawkstone sells you somewhere you already are. Ask a guest why they’ve ordered a pint and you’ll hear about barley, British farmers and a field in the Cotswolds, and that has done more for British farming at the bar than any campaign we can remember. That’s the Hawkstone effect, and we have championed the brand from the very first keg, as the wholesaler chosen to launch it into the on-trade, and we’ve watched a lager made with barley off a Cotswold farm become a pint guests ask for by name. The pitch is refreshingly simple: the more Hawkstone people drink, the more barley the brand buys from British

Their own apples and hedgerow elderflower, in a 100% recycled aluminium bottle

farmers. Drinkers like it because it’s true, and because it gives them a reason to choose one pint over another that isn’t the price. WHY THE FARM GATE MATTERS MORE THAN EVER That reason hasn’t gone anywhere. Crop prices have dropped, the weather has had a go at every harvest and support payments keep shrinking. If you grow things in fields for a living, it’s been a long couple of years. Hawkstone buys barley. Plenty of other British farming families grow apples, fruit and potatoes, some of them for generations, and a few have turned what they grow into drinks that deserve the same spotlight. They just don’t have a camera crew following them round the yard.

Lexi with the horsebox that took Bensons juice to festivals and farmers’ markets back in ‘99.

BUILD ON THE SPOTLIGHT Operators who put Hawkstone on did it for good reasons. It sells, staff can tell its story in one sentence, and guests ask for it by name. It has also done something even more valuable for the trade: it has taught guests to ask where their drink comes from. That’s a question you can now answer right across the bar. A guest who chooses a pint for its British barley will happily do the same with their gin and tonic, their crisps or the soft drink for the designated driver. Put Britishgrown answers on the menu, call them out by name, and you’re offering a better product with a story your guests already want to hear.

Meet the rest of the farm Hawkstone has guests asking where their drink comes from. These British farming families have some great answers.

“The family behind Hawkstone Cider has been pressing Herefordshire apples since 1880”

WESTONS CIDER Start with the family Hawkstone already trusts. Hawkstone Cider is made by Westons at Much Marcle in Herefordshire, where Henry Weston began pressing apples from his own farm in 1880. It was developed with Guy Lawrence, fifth generation of the Weston family, and the business is still independent and family run. It’s a partnership that shows exactly

what Hawkstone stands for: British farming families getting the credit they deserve. Every apple Westons presses is grown within 50 miles of the mill, by local farmers and in the family’s own orchards. Henry Westons Vintage takes bittersweet apples from a single year’s harvest across Herefordshire, Gloucestershire

and Worcestershire and matures them slowly in oak vats, so it carries a vintage and a story to match. For the traditionalists, Old Rosie comes cloudy from a bag-in-box that sits happily on the back bar. And if a guest wants proof of pedigree, Westons has been poured in the Houses of Parliament since the early 1900s.

“Grown, cooked and packed on the farm. The packet goes in the compost.”

TWO FARMERS CRISPS Then there’s the packet that leaves the bar with half the pints you pour. Two Farmers was dreamt up over a pint, naturally, by Mark Green, a second-generation Herefordshire farmer, and Sean Mason, a fellow farmer and potato merchant. Their potatoes are grown, harvested, stored, cooked

// The Winter Collection 2026

and packed on the farm, with flavours that lean on the county, like Hereford Hop Cheese & Onion and Herefordshire Sausage & Mustard. They also launched what they describe as the UK’s first compostable crisp packet. It’s the easiest provenance story on your bar, and the perfect partner for the

pint that started all this. They’ve since turned their hand to Herefordshire cider, too, and the one to look at is the 0.0% Medium Dry on draught. It gives the driver a proper pint poured at the bar, rather than a bottle fished out of the fridge.

“It started with an old juice press and a horsebox.”

BENSON’S FAMILY JUICERS The same story works just as well for the driver. Bensons Family Juicers started in 1999, when Lexi and her farmer husband, Bean, found an old juice press on his father’s farm and tried it on some local apples. The juice was good enough to bottle, so they loaded it into an old horsebox and took it round festivals and farmers’ markets. Today the business presses British apples

on a National Trust farm in the Cotswolds, and every juice is pressed, never from concentrate. Commercially, this is the easy win. Soft drinks are where plenty of venues leave money on the table, defaulting to a branded cola for a guest who’d have happily paid more for something with a bit of character. A 250ml bottle of pressed British apple looks right

on a dining table, sits comfortably on a family menu and gives the driver something better than a lime and soda. Lexi’s Wild Elderflower Pressé and Strawberry, Cucumber & Mint Soda do the grown-up version of the same job. And now the clocks have gone back, the Apple & Cinnamon bagin-box served warm is the easiest alcohol-free winter serve you’ll put on all year.

“Wonky fruit, an old calf shed and a copper still called Connie”

PENRHOS SPIRITS The same thinking that sells a pint of Hawkstone sells a Penrhos and tonic. Two Herefordshire families, the Williamses and the Turners, have farmed at Penrhos near Kington for generations, growing strawberries, raspberries, cherries, blueberries and apples. Fed up with watching perfectly good fruit fail the supermarket beauty contest, they started distilling it in 2018. The distillery is an old calf shed where Dickie Williams’

grandmother, Constance, once raised calves. The copper still is called Connie in her honour, which is exactly the kind of detail staff remember and guests repeat. The gins earn their place commercially, too. The London Dry is distilled with the farm’s own blueberries. Penrhos Rhubarb Gin, blended with Raspberry Red rhubarb juice, gives you a pink gin with a genuine reason to exist.

Wonky Strawberry carries 100g of rescued strawberries in every bottle, and Raspberry and Apple & Elderflower round out the range. Penrhos was also the first distillery to swap glass for 100% recycled aluminium, cutting the carbon footprint of its packaging by 91%, and it’s now a certified B Corp. Lighter on the cellar steps, and considerably less dramatic when one slips off the back bar on a Saturday.

Hawkstone proved British drinkers will trade up for a pint with a farm behind it. Now’s the time to put the rest of the farm on your menu, call it out to your guests, and let every order do a little more for the people who grow it, and for your margin. The Winter Collection 2026 //

THE 2026 TREND REPORT No-Alcohol That Tastes Like Beer

Lagers with Character

Alcohol-free beer has stepped up, delivering flavour and body that rivals full-strength pints. Adding a couple of quality no-alcohol options ensures you don’t lose sales to moderation and shows customers they can still enjoy a proper pint without compromise.

Drinkers are trading up from standard pours to genuine European imports and quality British-brewed lagers. Stocking both gives customers choice and confidence, while signalling your venue values flavour and authenticity. It’s an easy way to elevate your range and margins.

Freshness Matters

Session Strength Rules

Consumers want beer at its best, which means fresher stock and faster rotation. Venues focusing on quality over sheer volume see better repeat sales. Keep lines moving, highlight freshness on menus, and shout about short supply chains to boost reputation.

Drinkers are leaning towards beers that deliver flavour without heavy ABVs. Sub-5% pale ales, modern bitters and crisp lagers are seeing renewed interest. Highlight sessionable cask lines and approachable pales on boards and menus to encourage repeat orders and longer visits.

Flavour First Ciders

Rotating Craft Lines

Cider is stretching beyond sweet and simple, with heritage blends, drier profiles and inventive flavours growing in demand. Highlight cider pairings with food, rotate seasonal options, and position premium ciders as a credible alternative to wine or craft beer.

Too many venues carry multiple lagers that all do the same job. Replacing one with a rotating craft line won’t dent lager sales, but it will bring in a fresh audience looking for discovery and keep your bar offer dynamic.

HAUS RULES

Why your house lager deserves a real passport, and the Austrian family lager that has one. Ask the person behind most bars where their world lager is brewed and you'll get a confident answer. It won't always be the right one. Plenty of the continental names on British fonts are brewed under licence a lot closer to the M6 than the label lets on, and the drinker paying extra for the passport is mostly paying for the badge. Schremser Haus has actually made the trip. It's brewed, lagered and kegged at the Schremser brewery in Schrems, in the forested Waldviertel of northern Austria close to the Czech border, then shipped over for British bars. Bringing it across a border is the unglamorous bit. The good bit is watching someone's face on the first mouthful of a beer they'd otherwise have

EVERY BAR HAS A WORLD LAGER NOW That's the problem. CGA figures show world lager took 23.3% of on-trade long alcoholic drinks sales in 2023, up 2.6 points in a year, while standard lager slipped to 20.8%. Draught world lager went from 45% of outlets in 2017 to 69% by the end of 2023. Drinkers have voted with their pint glasses. But when two-thirds of bars pour a world lager, having one stops being a reason to choose yours. Most venues end up with the same handful of fonts as the pub over the road, supplied on the same terms, with the same point-of-sale. The premium is still there. The point of difference has gone.

1410

A family brewery with six centuries on the clock

Schremser is the opposite of a brand built in a boardroom. The brewery first appears in the records in 1410, and the original building is still standing after surviving more than one fire. The Trojan family bought it in 1838 and have run it ever since, holding their own against the international brewing groups by doing one thing consistently well. Karl Trojan has been in charge since 1991. It's still a small brewery by design. Barley comes from farmers in the surrounding countryside, and the water is soft, low-lime and drawn from the ancient rock beneath

the Waldviertel, which is exactly what you want for a clean, pale lager. In Vienna, Schremser is the beer people order when they know what they're doing. None of this started with a business plan. It started with two family businesses talking shop over a coffee, which, this being beer people, didn't stay a coffee for long. Nobody hands out medals for getting a keg across a border. What we do get is the look on someone's face when they try a pint that, without that conversation, would never have reached British lips.

Six weeks in the tank for the lager. About twenty minutes for whoever's cleaning it

Haus is a 4% lager made the slow way. It's unpasteurised, has no preservatives and is lagered for six to eight weeks in horizontal tanks that date back to the middle of the last century. Six weeks is a long time for a session lager to sit still. That's the point. Slow, cold fermentation and patient conditioning give a smooth, balanced pint that doesn't need to shout.

Six weeks is a long time for a session lager to sit still. That's the point.

CHARGE LIKE AN IMPORT. PAY LIKE A LOCAL.

The strength matters as much as the method. At 4% it's built for the second and third pint, the after-work round and the customer who still has to drive home, which is where most lager money is made. And here's the bit that makes the sums work. It looks, drinks and sells like a premium import, so price it like one, yet it lands in your cellar at the kind of keg price you'd expect from a UK-brewed lager. Premium on the bar, sensible in the cellar, and none of the 5% headache.

At £126.87, or about £1.44 a pint. Sell it at £6 and each pint leaves you £3.56 after VAT. That's a 71% GP, and around £313 profit on every keg.

And £6 isn't wishful thinking: we've asked venues already pouring Haus, and not one has struggled to achieve it.

Krušovice is a premium Czech pilsner with a royal brewing heritage dating back to 1581, when King Rudolf II of Bohemia purchased the brewery after being captivated by its exceptional quality. Still brewed in the Czech Republic today, Krušovice uses the finest Czech ingredients and renowned Saaz hops to create an authentic pilsner with a perfectly balanced taste. Brewed to 5.0% ABV, Krušovice delivers a deeply golden pour with balanced bitterness, subtle caramel sweetness and delicate herbal notes. Served the traditional Czech way with a smooth, creamy head, it offers a premium drinking experience rooted in centuries of brewing expertise.

Bear Island East Coast Pale Ale – bold and refreshing

// The Winter Collection 2026

Shepherd Neame, Britain’s oldest brewer, has been proudly brewing in the historic market town of Faversham, Kent since 1698. That’s over 300 years of brewing brilliance and counting.

We’re family-run, totally independent, and seriously passionate about two things: brewing award-winning beer

But don’t go thinking we’re stuck in the past. We’re also behind fresh favourites like:

First Drop Session IPA – easydrinking and hoppy

Orchard View Cider – fruity, fresh and deliciously crisp

Singha the legendary Thai lager, brewed right here in Kent

Service, Selection & Expertise - Since 2002

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT

Zero waste to landfill by 2025

We’re big on sustainability too — 97% of our grain and hops get reused as animal feed on local farms. The rest? We recycle like pros - and we’ve got big green goals:

Net zero carbon for direct emissions by 2030 Net zero supply chain emissions by 2040

COME SEE FOR YOURSELF! Fancy a behind-the-scenes peek at our brewery? Or just want to know more about us? Come visit our award-winning brewery in Faversham. We’d love to show you around.

CHRISTMAS 2026

all i want for christmas is real ale give the gift of cask this season

W Lees is Manchester's oldest brewer. We have served pints and festive cheer since 1828. Take a moment to let that settle in. Cask has been pouring on our bars for nearly 200 Christmases. So you will forgive us for having a soft spot for cask ale. Christmas is that time when the good folk descend on the nation's pubs. Everyone searching for a cosy corner and a space to share in the jubilation. Pub sales traditionally increase over Christmas period. So the crowds are coming, the question is... What will they be drinking? Think of this as your Christmas playbook for cask ale. What to put on your bar. How to look after it when the pub is packed. And how to sell more pints of it between now and the new year.

3 REASONS CASK BELONGS AT CHRISTMAS TRADITION

VALUE

FOOD

Nothing sells nostalgia like Christmas, and cask is the most nostalgic pint on the bar. Gen Z has found the beers their Grandad drank. Heritage names are returning and the "warm, flat" reputation is fading. Cask is now the interesting choice again.

Christmas is round buying season and cask is the smart choice. The average cask pint is £4.54 against £4.97 for beer overall, the best value pint on most bars. 59% of 18 to 24s saying price matters when they choose a beer. Cask is a pint worth steering them toward.

If you're serving festive food, then cask earns its keep. In food pubs, cask accounts for £1 in every £8 spent on beer. Across all pubs it's £1 in every £13. A wellkept cask ale paired with a roast dinner isn't just nice to have. It's margin.

HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR CASK TEMPERATURE FIRST.

LET IT SETTLE.

Keep your cellar around 11oC to 13oC. Too warm and the beer tires fast. Too cold and it starts to hide the flavour profile.

Give a fresh cask enough time to drop bright after venting and tapping. Have patience before pulling the first pint. A rushed cask might end up a cloudy one.

KEEP YOUR LINES CLEAN. Nothing undoes a great beer faster than having dirty lines. Cleaning your lines regularly is the cheapest quality upgrade by far.

BUILD YOUR FESTIVE BAR AROUND THE CASK CURIOUS AND THE ALE FAITHFULS

By 'eck it's the cream of Manchester. Golden, with that luscious creamy head. Smooth, creamy, slightly bitter. When the family is back in the local for Christmas, they remember the name and want another taste.

In honour of the good John Lees. Roasted chestnut and caramel with a crisp finish. A step up from the usual ales on the bar and a perfect pairing for Christmas dinner.

Born of a time when beer was beer. First brewed in 1828. All-malt amber, crystal malt and Golding hops. Clean, dry and drinkable. The session pint for settling in until last orders.

Christmas in a glass only comes round once a year. It's a rich and warming mahogany ale with a little sweetness. Made for tucking into mince pies at the fireside.

A post-industrial Manchester classic. well balanced and refreshing. The one for a lager drinker who wants to try something different.

THE FAMOUS ORIGINAL REBORN

It is with immense pleasure and pride that we offer up Allsopp’s IPA to the world, brewed to a recipe inspired by the very first viable IPA, a beer devised by us in 1822 in Burton-on-Trent. As an Allsopp, the story of IPA has a deep resonance. Just over 200 years ago, my ancestor Samuel was up late with his master brewer, Job Goodhead, to meet an almighty challenge – how to win the exclusive contract to supply beer to the mighty East India Company. It was well known that the incumbent supplier, Hodgson’s, was failing to deliver. Samuel smelled an opportunity. But how to brew a beer that would survive the perilous sea journey to India without spoiling?

To save time (and ingredients) the two men used a teapot as a brewing vessel. The solution when it came was radical: dial up the hops and ABV to previously unthought-of levels. The combined preservative effect of higher hops and alchohol might, they thought, stabilise the beer even in the most extreme shipping conditions. And so it proved. Allsopp’s IPA went on to become the most popular beer at home and abroad and is arguably one of the most important beers in brewing history. Jamie Allsopp, Proprietor

JUST LIKE CLOCKWORK A Dublin stout brewed by publicans, and why it deserves the font next to the big one

In Dublin, the families who run The Palace Bar, The Long Hall, The Swan and a dozen other pubs kept getting asked the same thing over the bar, several times a day. Have you got a stout of your own? Eventually they gave up saying no, built 124

// The Winter Collection 2026

a brewery and made one. The question turned up so reliably that they named the beer after it. Clockwork. That’s the story. It’s also, conveniently, all your staff need to remember.

WHY BOTHER WITH A SECOND STOUT?

Because stout is the part of the bar that’s actually growing, a lot! Heineken’s latest Beer Report has on-trade stout up 19% in a year to £2bn, while beer as a whole managed only 5%. But, it isn’t only the regulars, either. Younger drinkers have found it, and younger drinkers like a choice, especially ones with a story not just a good marketing budget. Most pubs still pour one stout. It’s a very good pint and nobody is asking you to pull it. But it does mean one supplier sets the price, one supply chain decides whether you’ve got any (December 2024, if you’d like to relive it), and the drinker who fancies something different has nowhere to go but the lager. A second stout, especially one with such a story sorts all three. If one runs short, you’ve still got a stout on. If one goes up,

you’re not stuck with it. And the drinker after something different has somewhere to go. All for the price of one font.

WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS

We’ll skip the adjectives. Clockwork is a 4.2% Irish stout, poured on nitro. It drinks with a bit of caramel and toast up front, dark chocolate in the middle and a dry, earthy finish. It also looks exactly like the pint a stout drinker is expecting, which, when you’re asking someone to change their usual, matters more than anything we could write here. It’s brewed in Glasnevin, beside the Royal Canal, by Shane Long, who founded Cork’s Franciscan Well back when asking for a craft beer got you a funny look. The brewery is owned by the pubs that pour it. That’s about the best quality control a beer can have: if it stopped selling, the owners

would be the first to notice. It launched in Dublin on the same day the price of the other stout went up. The founders say this was a coincidence. We’ve decided to believe them.

THE NUMBERS YOU’LL WANT

It comes in 30-litre kegs, which suits a second line: it turns over quickly, so the pint stays fresh while the habit builds. Pour it at £6.00 and you’re looking at roughly 58% GP. Confession: we didn’t know we needed an Irish stout. Then we had a few pints of it in The Bank on College Green, saw the fuss it was causing on social media, and jumped on a call (how very modern of us). Next thing, we were back in Dublin talking about becoming their UK distributor. It’s now turning up in independent pubs that care about a good pint, which is exactly where a beer brewed by publicans belongs.

CELLAR TECHNICAL SERVICES Boooorrring... until it isn’t!

n a quest to create the perfect FAQ section, we asked our team, “what is the most asked question when speaking with our customers?” The answer to this came without much thought or hesitation, and despite being pipped into first place by ‘we cant find you’ (one of the downsides of our depot being in rural Warwickshire), there was one clear winner by a country mile.*

This question is frequently delivered in a tone of panic and accompanied by gas hissing or (worse) beer flowing onto the cellar floor or (even more catastrophic) no beer coming out the taps. But the answer isn’t always that simple. So, when faced with this query, our team can only answer it effectively once we’ve asked a question. “Who is your lead/domain brewer? “ This is usually followed by a pause and ponder from the caller, swiftly followed by, “What the

130

I have a problem in my cellar, who do I call?

hell does that mean?” So in this article, we try to explain in more detail and offer some guidance you can share with your team when you need some assistance when that time comes. For all cellar and drinks dispense problems, the brand owner of the products provides first-line technical services support. However, in most cases, one brewer/supplier/producer will cover all of your cellar equipment if they occupy a majority share of your draught lines. This is known as the ‘lead or domain brewer’

Cellar Help

Service, Selection & Expertise - Since 2002

SO, WHO IS YOUR LEAD / DOMAIN BREWER? when this happens. Whoever this is, they will be the number you call when any cellar issues arise. OK, how do i find out who mine is? The ’lead brewer’ is known as a brewer that occupies the majority of the taps at your venue. They are responsible for servicing and

maintaining the remote beer cooler in the cellar, pythons, the primary gas-reducing valve, their branded fonts and underbar secondary cooling. A brand owner who is not a lead brewer is only responsible for their font, underbar secondary cooling, backboard equipment in the cellar and secondary gas-reducing valves.

SO WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL? you’re singing ghostbusters right?

•

If all beers are fobbing/not pouring and your remote cooler is not working correctly, you should contact your lead brewer.

•

If you have one product down and everything else is pouring correctly, at the correct temperature, you should contact the brand owner of the product.

•

If you have issues with a cask handpull/beer engine for a permanent cask ale installation, you should contact the brand owner of the product.

•

If you have a gas leak that isn’t isolated to a particular keg/container, contact your lead brewer.

•

If you have issues with a handpull/keg line for an independent rotating keg or cask ale, you should contact the installers of this equipment.

*The idea behind a country mile is the fact that most country roads are not in a straight line. Instead, roads in the country tend to meander up and down and all around. This makes it seem as if a mile in the country takes longer to cross than a straight mile in the city. Now you know!

SOFT DRINKS

THE 2026 TREND REPORT Functional and Feel-Good

Less Sugar, More Flavour

Soft drinks are no longer just about quenching thirst; customers expect benefits like energy, gut health or focus. Stocking functional sodas or botanical mixers gives customers a reason to trade up. Promote them at lunchtime and as premium non-alcoholic options in the evening.

Customers are looking for cleaner drinks without losing taste. Lighter recipes with natural ingredients are the sweet spot. Offer lower sugar soft drinks and teas as a clear alternative, and train staff to highlight them when serving health-conscious customers.

Exotic Meets Nostalgic Flavours are pulling in two directions, with exotic fruits sitting alongside retro favourites. Offer a small but varied range that balances adventure with familiarity. Seasonal specials or limited runs create talking points and encourage trial without tying up too much fridge space.

Coffee with Character Coffee is fast becoming an experience, not just a pickme-up. Nitro pours, flavoured lattes and seasonal blends keep menus fresh. Even one or two inventive additions can elevate your hot drinks offer and turn casual customers into regulars.

Tea as Theatre Tea is emerging from the shadows with speciality blends, cold infusions and elegant service. Offering a few carefully chosen teas, presented well, can create an easy upsell at quieter times of day and broaden your non-alcoholic repertoire.

Mixers with Meaning Premium spirits need mixers to match. More venues are swapping out standard tonics for crafted sodas, flavoured tonics and botanical blends. A small upgrade in your mixer range can justify higher prices and deliver a better experience for every serve.

It started with a juice press and a horsebox!

Back in 1999, Lexi and her farmer husband, Bean, discovered an old juice press on his father’s farm and decided to press some local apples. The juice was so fresh and delicious, they bottled it, loaded up an old horsebox and headed to local festivals and farmers’ markets. To their delight, it was a hit! That small experiment grew into a family juice business supporting British farmers and the countryside they love. Today, the business is still based at a beautiful National Trust farm in the heart of the Cotswolds.

THE 2026 TREND REPORT Organics on the Rise

English Wine Growth

Organic wine is moving from niche to mainstream, with customers increasingly asking for sustainability on their wine list. Carrying a few organic options signals quality, responsibility and relevance, and makes your offer more appealing to diners who are trading up.

English vineyards are producing sparkling and still wines that rival Europe. Customers are proud to buy local, so featuring an English bottle or two can create excitement, support home-grown producers, and encourage up-selling with food pairings and special occasions.

Low & No Innovations

Native Grapes in Demand

Low and no alcohol wine is finally stepping up in taste and style. With new ranges arriving, like Divin and Bolle, venues can offer wine experiences that suit moderation without sacrificing quality, broadening the menu for today’s drinking culture.

Drinkers are curious about native grape varieties, from Assyrtiko in Greece to Baga in Portugal. Featuring these lesser-known grapes adds a sense of discovery to your list. Promote them by the glass to drive trial and create talking points.

Greek Wine Renaissance

Lighter Styles Lead

Greece is back on the wine map, and it’s more than just Retsina. Modern producers are delivering crisp whites and structured reds with real character. Stocking even one or two Greek wines gives your list a point of difference.

Across red, white and rosé, lighter, fresher styles are winning. Guests want wines that are food-friendly, approachable and versatile by the glass. Stocking a few lower-tannin reds and crisp whites ensures your list feels modern and keeps customers ordering more.

VT VINANCIAL TIMES The more you spend, the better the wine. Here’s Why?

t’s no secret: spend a bit more on wine and you’ll notice the difference. But under the UK’s strength-based duty system, the reason is not just taste, reputation, or “trading up”. The maths backs it up. Wine duty is now charged according to ABV, not price. That means if two wines sit at the same strength, the duty bill is effectively the same whether the bottle sells for £9 or £15. On a 14.5% ABV wine, that duty comes in at £3.33 per bottle. The tax does not flex with retail price. It is fixed by strength. And that is where the squeeze begins. We have used £15 and £9 because they reflect two familiar points on many on-trade lists: an entry-level WHAT’S BEHIND THE PRICE TAG

£15

ABV

On a £15 bottle at 14.5%, duty accounts for 22% of the price. On a £9 bottle at the same strength, that figure jumps to 37%. Same £3.33 duty, very different impact. Once VAT, packaging and logistics are accounted for, the difference shows up in the only place it can: the wine itself. On a £15 bottle, around 31% of the price is spent on the wine. On a £9 bottle, that drops to just 13%. That is

MONEY FOR WINE

14.5%

option and a credible step up. The gap is realistic, not exaggerated, and mirrors the everyday pricing decisions operators face. By keeping the strength the same and only changing the selling price, the impact of fixed costs becomes obvious.

an 18 percentage point gap. In cash terms, £4.67 goes into the liquid in the £15 bottle, compared to £1.17 in the £9 bottle. Put simply, the £15 bottle contains roughly four times more actual wine value than the £9 bottle. Even at lower strengths, the pattern holds. Duty may reduce slightly, but it still takes a larger share of cheaper bottles, leaving less room for quality. The cheaper the selling price, the more the fixed costs dominate. The takeaway is straightforward. When duty is fixed per unit of alcohol, trading up does not just improve perception or margin. It increases the proportion of the bottle price that is actually paying for the wine in the glass.

The Wine Portfolio 26-27 For the trade, not for show Built for your customers Wine wholesale ranges are traditionally built on the road, through vineyard visits and exhibition halls. And for good reason: walking a row of vines with the person who planted it tells you things a tech sheet never will. We enjoy those visits. They are just not where our list gets made. A vineyard in June is a long way from a Saturday night service. So we spent the year in menu meetings and range training, listening to you about what guests were ordering, what brought them back for another glass, and where your list was missing an opportunity.

“The first pour should give guests a reason to order a second.” 204

Don’t tell Gary. Definitely tell your customers. The cult classic that’s been turning heads for years. Don’t tell Gary Shiraz continues to shake up wine lists and back bars with its unapologetic style and loyal following.

Made by a winemaker, not an accountant. Back in 2014, winemaker Jo Nash discovered an exceptional parcel of Shiraz which was gently crushed and then stored away in some ridiculously expensive French oak barrels to age for 12 months. All the while, keeping this expensive project a secret from Gary, the accountant. ‘Don’t tell Gary‘ became the code name of the project and it seemed a fitting name for the finished wine. The result of this covert operation is a glorious, rich and powerful Shiraz. The wine speaks for itself – minimal intervention, purity of fruit, Shiraz at its best. The legend lives on. Enjoy with abandon. Just....Don’t tell Gary

blackberry fruits”

What to drink with spice...

THE ANSWER ISN’T ALWAYS LAGER

SOMEBODY PUT GOCHUJANG ON THE MENU AND NOBODY TOLD THE WINE LIST. Six bottles that stand up to the wings, the curry and the ribs, and get a glass ordered instead of another pint.

ook at what’s coming out of your kitchen. Lumina Intelligence’s Menu Tracker revealed that burgers, chicken and pizza now make up over 45% of on-trade mains, and operators are reaching for global flavours to freshen up the classics. In practice that means Korean fried chicken, ‘nduja on the pizza, jerk in the burger and a bottle of hot sauce on most tables.

WHY CHILLI AND WINE FALL OUT

THE HERO: ALSACE RIESLING

Capsaicin, the compound that puts the heat in chilli, turns up the volume on alcohol and tannin. A 14.5% oaked red feels fierier beside a curry than it does on its own, and its tannins make the heat seem sharper. Reaching for more power doesn’t help. Swapping it out does.

Sophie Schaal Dry Riesling, from Vins Julien & Sophie Schaal in Alsace, does the job with acidity rather than sugar: lime zest, orange blossom and white peach on the nose, lemon curd and crisp green apple on the palate, and a slate-edged mineral finish at a moderate 12%.

Now look at the wine list. A big oaked red, a Sauvignon Blanc, a Pinot Grigio and a Malbec someone once said goes with “anything meaty”. Put any of them next to a plate of buffalo wings and the customer learns the same lesson: the wine tastes hot, harsh and oddly bitter, and the lager would have been the better call. Next time, it will be. That’s a wine sale lost on exactly the dishes your menu is growing fastest. Fixing it simple.

What works is the opposite: moderate alcohol, little or no tannin, bright acidity and plenty of fruit. A touch of sweetness helps too, but it isn’t compulsory. Keep the alcohol in check and the acidity fresh and most of the work is done. Temperature matters as well. Cold wine feels fresher next to chilli, so whites and rosés want to be properly chilled and light reds deserve time in the fridge.

Those citrus notes run straight into lime leaf and lemongrass, which makes it the natural pour for Thai curries, laksa and anything fragrant with a steady rather than savage heat. The bonus is that customers say “dry” by reflex. With this one they get exactly what they asked for, and nobody behind the bar has to explain why the curry wine tastes sweet.

WINGS, FRIED CHICKEN AND ANYTHING IN BATTER Fried food and heat want acidity and bubbles. Ceradello Organic Prosecco Brut from the Veneto brings both, with soft peach and floral notes, a fresh finish and just 10.5% alcohol, the lowest on this list and the reason it holds its ground beside a properly hot wing. It sells easily by the glass, it’s as happy with salt-and-chilli squid as buffalo sauce, and being organic and vegan it suits the plant-based side of the menu too.

BBQ, SMOKE AND CHAR Smoky, chargrilled heat is where rosé earns its place beyond summer. Funkstille Rosé Zweigelt from Niederösterreich is pale, dry and crisp at 11.5%, with wild strawberry, redcurrant and bright acidity. That acidity cuts through rib fat, and the red-berry fruit sits comfortably against smoke and char. Pour it with dry-rubbed ribs, grilled prawns and harissa chicken. When you have spice that is a touch sweeter such as hot honey or sticky glazes on the menu: the wine should be at least as sweet as the sauce, or it will taste thin and sour.

PIZZA AND SPICY MEATS Red just needs to be light, juicy and low in tannin, and Gamay is the safest bet. Pizza is one of the two fastestgrowing categories in the trade, and the hot ones mean ‘nduja, pepperoni or a drizzle of hot honey. Uva Non Grata Gamay from Guillaume Letang is a Vin de France full of bouncy, crunchy red fruit at 12.5%, with enough acidity to keep up with the tomato and none of the tannin that turns chilli bitter. It does the same job for spicy sausage and chilli-glazed duck.

Flavour Mash-Ups

Drinkers are prepared to spend more when they see value in quality. Stock a concise but premium range, train staff to tell the story behind each spirit, and upsell by recommending neat serves or signature cocktails that justify a higher price.

Borrowing flavours from the kitchen is on the rise, think smoke, spice or savoury twists. Encourage your team to experiment with unusual pairings. A single bold cocktail can create a reputation and spark social media attention for your venue.

Unusual Botanicals

Tech-Aged and Innovative Spirits

Spirits with distinctive herbs, spices and florals are driving experimentation. Position them as a talking point on menus and encourage bartenders to create signature serves. Customers will happily try something new if it’s recommended with confidence and a little theatre.

New production methods are speeding up or enhancing maturation. Customers may not care how it’s made, but they will care that it tastes exceptional. Use innovative spirits sparingly on your list to show you’re tuned into the future.

Cocktails as Theatre

Sustainability in Spirits

Drinking out is entertainment. Cocktails that surprise, delight and tell a story are in high demand. Playful garnishes, unexpected glassware and clever combinations all create a sense of occasion that justifies the price and builds repeat orders.

From zero-waste cocktails to eco-packaging, sustainability is shaping spirits culture. Highlight sustainable choices on menus, train staff to share the story, and use it to reassure customers that indulgence can sit comfortably alongside responsibility.

THE GREAT TERROIRS OF RUM Since day one in 1999, Planteray Rum has explored the great terroirs of rum around the world. With authentic expressions from the Caribbean – where rum was first crafted in Barbados in 1651 – to the Indian and Pacific oceans, each rum embodies the character and identity of its land of origin. The centuries-old tradition of double ageing, starting in tropical climates and crossing oceans for a second phase in the temperate south-west of France, gives Planteray rums their distinctive character. Rums from diverse terroirs arrive in their original ex-bourbon barrels, and we transfer them to carefully selected French oak casks that once held Ferrand spirits to double-age in our cellars. Truly the best of both worlds!

HAVE YOURSELF A RUMMY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

As we get closer to the festive season there’s never been a better time to consider rum. The UK’s premium rum sector experienced a 20%+ spike in volume last year according to IWSR data and much of that performance is down to a general premiumising across the category, increased innovation and the arrival of more high-quality rums from all over the world. From single cask sipping to refreshing and zingy cocktails And there’s no longer such a reliance on a few select Caribbean producers – there’s so much to discover – from white, golden, dark and spiced to single cask, single vintage sipping rums that have added a new dynamic to the category. Award-winning independent bottler House of Rum for example has brought a range of exclusive premium singlevintage, single cask and cask strength rums to market from 11 different countries across the Caribbean from Barbados and Jamaica to Trinidad & Tobago and Dominican Republic in addition to distilleries in El Salvador, Cuba, Mauritius, Guatemala, Panama and Venezuela. For serious spirit lovers, the rapidly emerging sipping rum sub-category is akin to drinking a high-quality single malt whisky or a special cognac or brandy. David Howarth, the Founder of House of Rum stresses that these rums are made to be savoured and not mixed. 260

// The Winter Collection 2026

“As independent bottlers we make all the decisions about which special casks we want to bring to market and not some corporate team – and we are adamant that our rums are unadulterated. So no added sugar, no colourings, absolutely no additives – this is rum the way it is meant to be. And most of our bottlings are cask strength too, but we find that the vast majority of people find them smooth and easy sipping despite ABVs of 50% and over,” he said. Blend of tropical and continental ageing creates magic “We are pretty convinced the reason they remain so elegant and smooth at high ABV is down to the mix of tropical and continental ageing we put them through. Take our award-winning Mauritius 2014 – with an ABV of 54.2%, it was two years tropically aged, seven years continentally aged in Scotland in a whisky cask that previously held red wine. It has been praised universally as outstanding.” But David concedes that for the growth of these rums to continue, there needs

Service, Selection & Expertise - Since 2002

to be considerable on-trade and consumer education. “For too long the category seems to have been defined by pirates and mariners and so we are working hard to provide educationals, tastings and samplings to show people what a vibrant sector it is. “ Earlier this summer, House of Rum unveiled its first single cask Cuban expression and its first at proofed strength in the shape of a 2010 rum from the Ron Cubay Distillery. This special bottling was distilled in a column still from Cuban molasses, then placed into an American white oak cask for 5 years tropical ageing in Cuba until November 2016, before being shipped to the UK, re-casked into an American oak ex-bourbon cask and continentally aged for a further 10 years before being bottled by House of Rum in 2026.

Spirits & Liqueurs

The limited-edition release totals 250 bottles and the 43% ABV Cuban rum has notes of vanilla fudge, pepper spice, chocolate, oats and hints of tobacco on the nose with a long, sweet vanilla finish. “We have listened to our loyal vintage cask customers who have told us they wanted something from us that is easy drinking, affordable and mixable and we are sure this fits the bill beautifully. This Cuban release affirms that we are steadily building a portfolio that has a rum for every drinking style, palate and pocket,” said David Howarth. The single cask range and Diablo Spiced Rum are available direct from House of Rum, via Skylark Spirits and at specialist and online spirits retailers. Every bottle is individually numbered and full provenance is outlined on the bottle.

M AKING JANUARY

COUNT

urn slow weeks into smart opportunities for growth, planning and progress. January doesn’t have to be quiet; it can be productive. It’s a rare chance to regroup, retrain and refocus your offer before the year ahead. Here are a few ways to make it count, with a little help from Inn Express. Host a Low & No Tasting Night Lean into Dry January by putting quality front and centre. Showcase

your low and no-alcohol range in partnership with brands like Nirvana, MashGang, Days Brewing and Divin. We can help with recommendations, materials and tasting support to make it a proper event. Invest in Staff Training

Use the calmer weeks to upskill your team. Our sales and category specialists can deliver hands-on training to build product knowledge, confidence and selling skills ready for the months ahead.

Refresh Your Range

Take a look at what performed well over Christmas and what didn’t. We can analyse sales, suggest smarter swaps and help plan profitable rotations that keep your offer sharp. Plan Your Spring Menu Early Stay ahead of trends with advice on seasonal products, new launches and margin-led drinks lists to start 2027 with confidence.

KE Y DATES & E VENTS

the official beer of burns week

HARVieSTOUN. BURNs stayed here Rabbie spent the summer of 1787 on the Harviestoun estate in Clackmannanshire, and was taken enough with a local lass to write her into verse. The beer earns the billing. Schiehallion, the 4.8% craft lager, has a World Beer Awards gold and a SIBA cask championship to its name, and makes up around two-thirds of the brewery’s output. Cask or keg, people come back for it. 284

// The Winter Collection 2026

Behind it sits a proper draught line-up. On cask: Bitter & Twisted, a 3.8% golden ale, Natural Blonde at 4.0% and Heaven Cent, a 4.6% session IPA. On keg: Ochil and Harlequin Horizon. None of it stops selling on 1 February.

Few brewers can claim the Bard as a house guest!

THE CURVEBALL

ONE FOR THE PURISTS

Vault City is the UK’s largest dedicated sour brewer, with a sour scale on every can so nobody gets ambushed. A Scottish order for the guest who won’t sit through a whisky flight.

Purists will ask for Irn-Bru. Scots will expect it. Made since 1901, a case costs next to nothing and the goodwill is enormous. It also stars in the 0% serve on the menu.

Whisky? Obvs!! 02

A Speyside or Lowland malt to open. Easy going, no frowning.

A sherry cask or Highland dram in the middle. The crowdpleaser.

An Islay to finish. The one they talk about on the way home.

Nobody needs telling to stock whisky for Burns Night. There are hundreds on our list and your regulars already have a favourite. This feature is about everything else the week can earn. That said, a flight always sells: three drams, one price, and a reason to stay for another round.

Headlines the gins. Distilled at Girvan on the Ayrshire coast, and since 1999 one of the bottles that put gin back on the British back bar.

The heritage pick. 22 foraged island botanicals and a still run by whisky distillers since 2010. Early to the gin boom, sellable in one sentence.

Talonmore non-alcoholic spirit

nobody left out Brewed rather than distilled in Edinburgh, with ginger, Assam tea, prickly pear and hawthorn berry. Enough heat to stand in for a dram, and a lot more fun than another lime and soda.

THE SPRITZ Doesn’t hibernate The spritz is Britain’s favourite cocktail: Aperol Spritz alone took 13.6% of all cocktail spend last summer, up from 9.9% a year before (CGA by NIQ). Most bars pack it away in October along with the parasols. Well, don’t.

Swap the orange bitter for Edinburgh Gin’s 20% fruit liqueurs and the nation’s favourite order becomes Burns Week’s easiest upsell.

NO ALCOHOL. NO COMPROMISE. Alcohol free is no longer a January trend. It’s a year round essential for venues. Today’s drinkers are looking for better choices, rather than the usual mass market staples, that make venues feel the same. We brew our Sober Brummie range like normal beers, using the same fundamental brewing process, ingredients and fermentation; but with carefully controlled tweaks that deliberately reduce how much alcohol is produced. By making the brewing process less efficient at creating alcohol, rather than removing the alcohol afterwards, we retain the malt, hop and fermentation character you expect from a ‘proper’ beer. The result is an alcohol-free (AF) beer with the flavour profile, body and character of an alcoholic beer; just without the alcohol. That approach is exactly why our Sober Brummies have picked up so many awards. 294

6 STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL DRY JANUARY WITH THE UK’S FIRST DEDICATED ALCOHOL-FREE BREWERY 1. ENCOURAGE CUSTOMERS TO STAY FOR ANOTHER ROUND

Give customers a proper alternative to soft drinks. A pint of Nirvana delivers all the flavour and experience of a great beer, giving customers a reason to stay for another round – just without the alcohol. 2. MATCH THE BEER TO YOUR CROWD

Think about what your customers already enjoy drinking. Match traditional pub crowds with our Best Amber Ale, craft taprooms with our West Coast style IPA, or offer a crisp lager for customers looking for something lighter and refreshing. 3. MAKE ALCOHOL-FREE EASY TO FIND

Don’t hide AF at the bottom of the menu. Put Nirvana alongside your core beer range, give it visibility on the bar and make choosing alcohol-free feel just as natural as ordering any other pint. 4. MAKE IT A PROPER PINT EXPERIENCE

Great beer deserves a great serve. Cold beer, proper glassware and a quality pour make all the difference. Treat alcohol-free with the same care as your full-strength range and customers will too. 5. GET YOUR TEAM TALKING

Get your team tasting the range and confidently recommending Nirvana to drivers, moderators and anyone cutting back. A simple recommendation can turn a soft drink into a pint – and potentially another round. 6. THINK BEYOND DRY JANUARY

Moderation doesn’t end in February. From midweek lunches and designated drivers to sunny beer gardens and daytime drinking, AF has a place all year round. Keep Nirvana on the bar and turn Dry January momentum into year-round sales.
