August is the month of Sun City. The first Oakham beer to be brewed exclusively with solar generated power, “Sun City” was so well received in August 2025 that we've brewed it again. It's a refreshing new Blonde Ale featuring a dynamic duo of New Zealand sourced hops.

We returned to Hook Norton Brewery for another collab - Sun Drift. Head Brewer Ed was keen to use Belma, a US hop he & Andy Thomas came across visiting the Yakima Valley together. "A really impressive hop that layers soft strawberry and melon notes over vibrant citrus and tropical fruit flavours."

Rounding off the week with a bit of time in the garden? Krush is now stocked in more than 120 Morrisons stores nationwide, so pop in a pick up a couple to enjoy in the sun.

Coming soon to our cask aged range, Omertà is a smooth new porter, hopped with Bramling Cross, a UK variety long venerated as a classic black beer hop. Trade pals can hit us up on orders@oakhamales.com to reserve theirs.

Fresh on the bar we have Citra from @oakhamales.bsky.social A Citra hopped session IPA, light gold in colour, bursting with citrus & tropical hop flavours and sensationally refreshing. ABV 4.2% it's available now @vernonarmsl2.bsky.social Just right for a sunny Thursday.

We've sent out a fair few casks this week - hope your local has just reaching perfection for the weekend.

Beer and pizza? Don't mind if we do.

Scarlet Macaw is now sold out for another year, but our other July seasonal, Glass Mountain is still available. It's a bright and hugely refreshing new single hop American Cream Ale featuring the unique USA sourced hop variety Lemon Drop.

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3... Is this thing on?

Scarlet Macaw 🦜 Flown in from @oakhamales.bsky.social with tart gooseberry & soft peach on the beak. Gooseberries & fruit to taste and an intense bitterness as sharp as a macaw's screech! @vernonarmsl2.bsky.social now🍺 (Guest ales subject to change)

Very decent black US hopped beer from the always excellent @oakhamales.bsky.social … currently available at The Draper’s Arms Peterborough

Oakham Ales Citra Beer Review

Monday morning in the brewhouse and everything has got off to a strong start!

We've got a new hazy pale coming for you in August - Blurred is made with three bold US hop varieties, including Idaho 7; named after the state, not the 70’s TV cop series.

We are starting to feel that beer garden urge again this afternoon.

Brewery moods #164: Full of shaded, moody corners.

The season of al fresco dining is very much upon us, and vegetarians in particular may welcome the pairing of sticky cauliflower wings with Green Devil - two punchy flavours working in harmony.

One the way in August, our seasonal is a 3.7% blonde called Sun City. It was the first beer we brewed exclusively with solar generated power last year, and the combo of Nelson Sauvin™and Nectaron® was definitely worth bringing back in 2026!

A date for your diaries if you are Ilkeston way, we've got a Bank Holiday tap takeover extravaganza in the making at The Dew Drop Inn.

Wraggy's at it again with his beer reviews. This time it's Citra, but we noticed he also suggested we try other single hopped beers. Pick up a bottle of Krush™ from your local Morrisons, mate, and give it a go!

Krush is now available in 120 Morrisons stores nationwide. Is it in your local branch?

Everyone knows JHB from @oakhamales.bsky.social A superbly refreshing light golden bitter, distinctively smooth, with citrus fruitiness and a refreshing hoppy finish. Hops: Mount Hood (USA) and Challenger (UK). On the bar @vernonarmsl2.bsky.social now 🍻

Coming soon, for the first time, a limited edition keg release of Helter Skelter. A strong ale with a sleek hop aroma with fruity flavours spiralling around an elegant tower of bitterness.

Hoppy Pale, our collab with @thornbridge.bsky.social is now sold out, but you might still be lucky enough to find it on the bar somewhere. Where have you spotted it?

Head Brewer, Ed, keeping a good eye on the latest brew.

Feels kind of like we have to get involved and wish England all the very best in their World Cup game against Argentina tonight. But in the interests of balance, here's another lovely pub dog for those of you who aren't interested in the football or don't support England.

We've got a new beer coming soon to our cask aged range - this IPA is a whirligig of fresh and intense soft citrus, red berry and tropical fruit hop flavours from Belma and Olicana, with Amarillo® and Olicana® conjuring up a spicy, earthy, resinous, bitterness on the finish.

Destination #1 achieved and the words we all love to see, ‘Open’ and ‘Oakham Ales’… Pint of @oakhamales.bsky.social Inferno at the Star Inn, Geddington.

Karen came away from our preferred film developers with a freebie camera, a very nice lens on a basic camera. Sadly the shutter and lens are f*ck’d beyond my limited skills, so drowning our sorrows with an @oakhamales.bsky.social Shakedown Cask Aged IPA at Beerhouse. #FilmPhotography #BSkyBeer
