Autumn/Winter 2025 Nethergate Brewprint

We’ve been brewing beer for a long time, but we still get ridiculously excited when it’s time to plan our cask ale calendar. We love cask—it’s what we’re passionate about—so keeping it thriving with an exciting line-up is something we take seriously (and enjoy thoroughly).

Every year, we put loads of thought (and plenty of tasting) into crafting a selection that gets people talking. Alongside our champion beers, we roll out a rotating mix of seasonal cask specials—small-run brews designed to bring something fresh to the table. Whether it’s new hops, bolder flavours, or a chance to trial different techniques, these beers let our team push boundaries, innovate, and maybe even convert a few new cask drinkers along the way.

Over the years, interest in these limited editions has only grown. We regularly hear from landlords, "Is Golden Gate coming back?" or "When’s Essex Beast making a return?"—which is exactly why we take our annual brew-print so seriously. With such a brilliant portfolio from over the years (and no shortage of new ideas), it’s no easy task to pick a line-up that pleases everyone! But, led by our Head Brewer, Ian (with plenty of input from the whole team), we’ve worked hard to balance old favourites with fresh new recipes—and we hope you’ll agree.

So, here it is—our finest picks for the 2nd half of 2025. These beers will be available for pubs to order, pouring on draught in our taprooms, and for those who fancy a pint at home, you can grab them in our 9, 18, or 36-pint fresh beer boxes. Take a look, mark your calendars, and if you’d like to reserve a cask or a box for release, give us a shout.
