Docks Beers teams up with Hull brewery for BrewDog collaboration beer vying to be crowned Europe’s best

Trending Today

Craft beer chain BrewDog has announced a limited-edition pint honouring the Humber involving a team-up of breweries from the north bank and south bank – and it could be crowned the best in Europe.

The chain has partnered with multiple small breweries across Europe as part of its largest beer festival of the year – Collabfest.

In our region, Grimsby’s Docks Beers and Hull’s Bone Machine have joined forces up to create Bridge Over Troubled Water.

Together they created the 5 per cent hazy IPA, which has gooseberry and Nelson Sauvin notes creating a fruity drink worthy of the Humber. Other breweries taking part include Bang The Elephant collaborating with BrewDog Nottingham, BrewDog Oslo teaming up with Molo Brew, and Gipsy Hill joining forces with BrewDog Shoreditch.

Available exclusively at Brewdog Hull, Bridge Over Troubled Water will be a part of a live leaderboard to determine which independent breweries from around Europe can make the best beer. Bars will host a different line-up of beer every day, allowing drinkers to trial a wide selection.

Each bar will also have interactive booklets and stickers on display, so customers can get involved and record their own bespoke reviews for each brew. Drinkers will be able to rank their beer on the rating app Untappd and view the leaderboard on the Brewdog website.

James Watt, co-founder and CEO of BrewDog, said: “Nothing beats a bit of healthy competition, so I am delighted to announce that Collabfest is returning to BrewDog bars across Europe.

“With 31 different brews being created – from IPAs, to stouts, to sours – the competition is going to be fierce. I’m just glad it’s not me having to decide between them all! I can’t wait to see what gets crowned as the best of the rest.”

Bridge Over Troubled Water will be available at Brewdog Hull, in Princes Quay, between Thursday, October 19 and Sunday, October 22.

King praises doctors and nurses who provided care during cancer treatment

The Monarch spoke from Fitzrovia Chapel, a former London hospital chapel The King has used his Christmas address to pay tribute to the “selfless” doctors and nurses who provided “strength, care and comfort” during cancer treatment for himself and the Princess of Wales. In his annual message to the nation and Commonwealth, Charles offered his “heartfelt thanks” to the medical teams who supported him and his family “through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness”. Charles also spoke of his “deep sense of pride” at how communities responded to the riots following the fatal Southport stabbings of three young girls, by repairing “not just buildings, but relationships”. Sacrifices made by Second World War servicemen and women, which continue to “inspire, across the generations”, were acknowledged, as were the daily threats posed to so many by modern conflicts in the Middle East, central Europe and Africa. The King said: “From a personal point of view, I offer special, heartfelt thanks to the selfless doctors and nurses who, this year, have supported me and other members of my family through the uncertainties and anxieties of illness, and have helped provide the strength, care and comfort we have needed. “I am deeply grateful, too, to all those who have offered us their own kind words of sympathy and encouragement.” The candid words of praise are in keeping with Charles’ open approach to his illness which saw him publicise his diagnosis in February, in the hope some good would come from his situation. The type of cancer has not been disclosed in a bid to reach the widest number of people. Footage was shown of Charles’ April visit to University College Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre in central London, his first public-facing event after pausing outside engagements following his diagnosis, where he spoke of his “shock” at being told he had cancer. As images were broadcast of the King meeting fellow cancer patients, he said: “All of us go through some form of suffering at some stage in our life, be it mental or physical. The degree to which we help one another – and draw support from each other, be we people of faith or of none – is a measure of our civilisation as nations.” It is understood the King’s doctors are very pleased with his progress and his ongoing treatment falls at the lower end of the scale in terms of its impact on his ability to work, and the first half of 2025 has a full programme of engagements. Kate is on the road to recovery after completing chemotherapy treatment in the summer and is making a gradual return to public duties, saying her focus is staying cancer free. A few days ago the King and Queen visited Waltham Forest Town Hall in north-east London to celebrate the community cohesion shown by Walthamstow residents, who took to the streets to stage a peaceful counter-protest in the wake of riots following the Southport stabbings. The disturbances, which saw mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers targeted, were denounced as “far-right thuggery” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. Speaking from Fitzrovia Chapel, a former London hospital chapel, Charles said: “I felt a deep sense of pride here in the United Kingdom when, in response to anger and lawlessness in several towns this summer, communities came together, not to repeat these behaviours, but to repair. “To repair not just buildings, but relationships. And, most importantly, to repair trust; by listening and, through understanding, deciding how to act for the good of all.” At the time, Charles was briefed daily about the situation and was engaging privately in the issues generated by the outbreak of violence across the country. Footage was shown of people sweeping the streets and collecting bricks in a clear-up operation. When the King spoke about the royal family meeting and listening to those who “dedicate their lives to helping others” the Prince and Princess of Wales were seen chatting to emergency workers who responded to the fatal Southport stabbings. The King referenced his visit to a Commonwealth summit in Samoa in October and suggested the institution’s strength lay in its “diversity of culture, ethnicity and faith” and how its member states listened to each other – something that allowed people to “learn to respect our differences” and “defeat prejudice”. Highlights of the royal year were shown from the King being hugged by a group of New Zealand female rugby players, the Princess Royal at an event, scenes from Kate’s annual carol concert and crowds outside Sydney Opera House meeting the King and Queen during their visit to Australia earlier this year. The broadcast, produced this year by Sky News, ended with the choir Inner Voices singing the carol Once In Royal David’s City. Published: 25/12/2024 by Radio NewsHub

Man 39 shot dead by armed police on Christmas Eve

A 39-year-old man was shot dead by armed police on Christmas Eve. West Mercia Police said officers were called by West Midlands Ambulance Service to an address in Redditch, Worcestershire, at around 2pm on Tuesday after concerns were raised for the safety of a man with a knife. The force said attempts were made over “several hours” to deal with the incident but the man was shot at around 7.40pm. He was pronounced dead just after 8pm, police said. Assistant Chief Constable Grant Wills said: “We do not underestimate the shock and concern this may cause the local community and I want to reassure residents that we are following all appropriate procedures, this included making an immediate referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), as is mandatory and right. “We will support their investigation, which will include providing all information we hold, including body-worn camera footage.” The force said nobody else was in the property in Fownhope Close at the time. Confirming a referral had been made, an IOPC spokesman said: “We can confirm we have begun an independent investigation following an incident at an address in Fownhope Close, Redditch, at around 7.40pm yesterday in which a man was shot by police and sadly pronounced dead soon after. “After being informed of the incident by West Mercia Police, we sent investigators to the scene… to begin our inquiries and start gathering evidence. “Our investigation is in its very early stages.” Published: 25/12/2024 by Radio NewsHub
