Belma is a fantastic hop variety that was developed by the Puterbaugh family in Yakima Valley. We've had a wonderful relationship with them for many years, so we're delighted to showcase it as a single variety in this January seasonal golden ale.

Huge congratulations from everyone at Team Oakham Ales to Peter Hill, who completed his mission to visit every pub in the 2020 Good Beer Guide on Friday at the fantastic Mermaid in St Albans. His final pint to complete the adventure? One of his favourites - Oakham Citra.

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 & sensationally refreshing. ABV 4.2% available now @VernonArmsL2.bsky.social (Guest ales subject to change)

Over at the Crown Inn Beeston and on the Cask lines was a classic from Peterborough based Oakham Ales, Bishops Farewell Golden Ale always tastes great, here's my quick review. youtube.com/shorts/FJqTu... #oakhamales #tryanuary #crowninnbeeston #beerporn #realalefinder @oakhamales.bsky.social

We've got kegs of Hell Bent coffee porter coming into stock - email [email protected] to be the first on the list to receive it!

Anyone got any fun beer festival recommendations for the next few weeks?

For those of you rolling towards the end of a full working week, is the pub beckoning? Imagine walking those magnificent tiles.

January sees the return of Pendulum - a nicely sessionable pale made with UK Goldings and Challenger.

Everything's back at full throttle in the brewery. Not that you'd know it. Where is everyone?

Final Cut is available now - read the full story behind brewing legend John Bryan's final brew on our website.

Over at the Crown Inn Beeston Nottinghamshire's best pub and on the superbly kept Cask lines was Brewsters Brewery Dragon Street Porter, Oakham Ales Bishops Farewell Golden Ale & Wilde Child Brewing Co. Son of a Nutcracker , all tasting amazing as we support #tryanuary, great pub

Wraggy's been on the Citra again!

Anyone starting to get those 'back to work' vibes?

Hoping all our friends in the pub trade are bearing up OK after another frenetic festive period. Where would we be without your hard work? Thirsty, mainly.

Our very own keg pale, Hoodlum, is back in stock. Trade pals - don't sit on this one, it doesn't hang around for long.

It's perhaps no big surprise that bottle Citra was the biggest seller on our webshop this year, with cases of Green Devil not far behind. We'll be cracking one open tonight and raising a toast to all of you who have supported the brewery in 2025. Cheers!

Can we justify a takeout now the leftovers are done, please?

Available in January 2026, our new single hop beer, Belma, is brewed by Head Brewery Ed using a variety bred and cultivated exclusively on the Yakima Valley hop farm of our old friends; the Puterbaugh family.

There's always time to crack open a classic over Christmas.

In-keeping with the seasonal weather, Perun is named for the God of the sky, thinder and storms. A great combination of sweet apricot, citrus and a touch of candy in this Slovenian hopped golden ale.

Where will you be unboxing a festive pint of Citra today?

May your days be merry and bright.

The perfect hop devil for Christmas Eve. Can I get a 'ho ho ho'?

The relentless march of seasonal beers continues - we've got two a month coming for you in 2026. Take a look at the website for the full list, and get ready to welcome the return of Pendulum in January.

Nothing says Christmas more than an @oakhamales.bsky.social Citra hop in a 🎅 hat

The team are on their holidays now, although the brewers will be popping in regularly to keep an eye on things. We're hoping that you will all get to enjoy a bit of time to yourselves over the festive period too.

Sending all our thanks out to all of the hospitality staff who have been working so hard over the last few weeks and will continue to keep our pubs running smoothly over Christmas and New Year. We appreciate it, so much.

Available now in our cask-aged line up, we have Skyline - with an eclectic multi-national hop bill that brings spicy citrus, tropical fruit and aromatic gooseberry. Add to that the punchy bitterness from UK Challenger and you've got a real banger on your hands.

We're very definitely got that Friday feeling this week! The last Friday before Christmas is always a little bit special.

Sanctum Gold brings together UK Bramling Cross hops with Barbe Rouge from France to deliver hedgerow fruit tones against a smooth, moreish bitterness.

The Oakham Ales core line up features beers that have been treasured favourites of ours for more than 30 years. Where does the time go?

11th Birthday shenanigans at the Beerhouse in Market Harborough tonight and tomorrow, here’s what’s on… I’m sipping the @oakhamales.bsky.social @hopalliance.bsky.social AleSmith IPA (6%-ouch!). #BSkyBeer

Fried chicken burgers? Citra will be the perfect complement to cut through the fatty richness - and provide enough flavour to stand up if you choose to go spicy 🌶️

Sometimes, only a tonne of malt will do.

Olly keeping a good eye on the hop additions in the brewery.

Sorry, the brewery is closed for the weekend so the Sample Arms is out of action. You'll just have to head to the pub instead.

The weekend is upon us. Time to get in touch with a certain little devil - if you can find him.
