Tried it, liked it

I used to think craft beers were a bit too strong for my tastes and stuck to regular lager or cider, but these new session IPAs are great and full of wonderful hoppy flavours. s. Lauren, London

This is the UK’s best-selling craft beer and it’s not hard to see why. Notes of lychee and grapefruit make for an intriguing first sip, and a familiar malty base means lager fans shouldn’t struggle to make the leap. A great companion to meaty dishes like our sage & apple crostini (p30). BrewDog Punk IPA 330ml, £1.80 (£5.45/ltr)
BROOKLYN BUILT
BM F
Everything you love about lager – malt sweetness, a crisp body and floral hops – is dialled up a notch in this modern classic. A mix of European and American hops deliver a bold aroma, while a robust body means it pairs well with cheeses. Serve with our goat’s cheese tart (p24). Brooklyn Lager 6 x 330ml, £7 (£3.54/ltr)

ALE WITH ATTITUDE
DOWN THE MIDDLE

This ultra-pale, refreshing beer has hop aromas without being overpowering, making it a great choice for those new to craft beer. Citrus and tropical notes dominate the flavour – match with rich meat dishes like our risotto (p105). Goose Island Midway Session IPA 4 x 330ml, £6 (£4.56/ltr)
