Heres to a prosperous 2026, filled with plenty more of the world's best beer.

Plus, Cuvée Renée, a blend with 30% 1-year-old, 40% 2-year-old, and 30% 3-year-old lambics, named in honour of Pierre's Grandmother.

We've also been very fortunate to pick up some more of the Canned Petite Gueuze, and a handful of kegs from the range.

New in, we have the latest iteration of the Meerts Box. Four fruited editions made of a blend of lambic and meerts (a light, young, spontaneous beer). A fantastic way to try 4 different expressions of this unique character.

All the best for the festive season to you and yours, from all of us at James Clay and Sons.

The Fresh Harvest is only brewed once a year with hops taken directly from the Poperinge hop fields finding themselves in the kettle with the superb Hommelbier wort not even 48 hours later.

A glorious robust Golden Ale, full of the very best that Belgian hops have to offer.

There are very small quantities of Casks available of each beer too, exclusively produced for James Clay and Sons.

Stock is available for delivery this week, but we request that you put it on sale from Friday 28th of November, in line with the national launch.

We understand that, and it's been accounted for in plans for cellar work too.

We're here alongside Augustiner to support and make it possible.

After all, one beer culture's 'Full Krypton Factor' is another's standard fit out.

Our hope is that this project helps bridge that gap.

Part of the approval process will involve an inspection of the glasswasher, to ensure that it's a unit up to Augustiner standards, and cleanliness of course too.

Once we've identified and made the arrangements with the first tranche of accounts we'll make sure to post and keep everyone well informed.

Don't worry, there's plenty glassware. All of which will have a line indicating where the foam should come to.

Quality at dispense is being approached the same way it is in Munich. Deviation from standards would result in withdrawal of supply.

We’re inviting venues to register their interest for this landmark launch. If you’re passionate about beer and committed to quality and want to partner with us to meet the Munich Pour criteria, then we’d love to hear from you.

As the official custodians of Augustiner in the UK, we’ve worked closely with the brewery to ensure that this launch reflects the same uncompromising standards that have made Augustiner a global benchmark for quality and tradition.

The Abbey released its first new beer since the mid-20th century in 2020, joining Rochefort 6, 8, and 10. After a successful bottle launch, a limited keg run was produced in 2024. We're thrilled to offer some of this year's outturn of this exceptional draught beer to the UK for the first time.
