Maka Di Bavarian Keller

Maka Di is a craft brewery from Goa which just launched in the UK. A few of its beers are now available to buy at Maharaja Drinks, a new drinks emporium specialising in Indian pours. Of the new releases, my favourite is Bavarian Keller, a beautifully balanced unfiltered lager. Its soft malt sweetness blends with a gentle hop bitterness, offering a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel. As I sipped it for the first time, the cloudy appearance and subtle yeast undertones reminded me of a traditional Bavarian cellar brew.

There's A Lot To Do by Deya

Dey’s ‘There’s A Lot To Do’ is a smooth, hazy IPA that delivers tropical and citrus-forward flavours with every sip. At 6.0% ABV, it strikes a balance between juicy sweetness and a mild bitterness, making it a well-rounded, refreshing drink. The hop profile brings out notes of mango, grapefruit, and pineapple, with a slightly resinous finish. What sets this IPA apart is its creamy mouthfeel, thanks to Deya’s signature soft water and use of oats. It’s the perfect beer for those who love bold, juicy hops but prefer a well-balanced, drinkable IPA.

Magic Rock Fantasma

Magic Rock's Fantasma is a fun, gluten-free IPA that’s packed with juicy tropical flavours. With bold hits of mango and grapefruit, it’s both refreshing and full-bodied. Even though it’s gluten-free, you wouldn’t know it – it’s smooth, hoppy, and just the right amount of bitter. Perfect for kicking back after a long day or when you’re craving a seriously tasty IPA without the gluten. Easy to drink and bursting with personality, Fantasma is a of my favourite craft beer brands as each release is flavourful but still approachable.

Beavertown Brewery 8 Ball Rye IPA

Released every autumn by the talented folk at Beavertown in north London, this beer is a standout seasonal treat. It’s a bold fusion of peppery rye, zesty grapefruit and fresh-cut grass, all balanced by a hearty hop punch wrapped in a velvety smooth finish. The beer gets its quirky name from its origins – it was initially brewed using old pool balls to weigh down the hop sacks during the brewing process. Rich in flavour and creativity, it’s a must-try for hop enthusiasts looking for something a bit different this autumn.

Burning Sky Petite Framboise

This exceptional funky fruit beer comes from the heart of the Sussex Downs. Aged in oak barrels and rested on raspberries, it’s fruity with a touch of tartness and beautifully balanced. For the ultimate experience, pour it into a champagne flute and pair with a chunk of dark chocolate. It’s an indulgent combination you won’t forget – thank me later.
