Happy New Year! Here’s what’s on in the first week to help you through that post-Christmas meh period, with some special treats for any of you trying new beers for #tryanuary, or trying to drink a bit less for #dryanuary.

Taprooms
Double Barrelled Taproom
This week’s new beer release is Tischtennis, a 2.8% table beer, ideal for those trying to keep their alcohol consumption down. Also recently launched are What The Cuss, a lovely wintery chocolate stout, and Dreaming In Colour, a new hazy IPA. And another win for those keeping track of their units is Wave Theory, a 3.6% session pale ale. If you are completely forgoing alcohol though, the taproom does have a great selection of alcohol-free beer too
