Staff Changes

Last month, our Tap Yard manager Jess made the decision to leave Siren, due to a relocation. We’re very sad to see her go, but with two dogs, a new home, and a shiny new ring on her finger, we’re excited to see what the future has in store and wish her the best of luck. We have a new Tap Yard manager lined up, and we can’t wait to introduce them to you very soon. 

Suspended in Pubs

This month, our good friends at Clays Kitchen & Bar opened their new site on Prospect Street, in Caversham. A few days before opening we hosted an amazing Food and Beer pairing event and let me tell you, if you didn't come then you really missed out! 

Nadana, the magician behind Clays, put together an incredible 5 course menu, which we paired with our beers, as well as a bonus couple of beers. Food pairing is always something we take seriously, and we looked at the ingredients and flavour profiles of the dishes, and matched them with the malt and hop profiles of the beers. 

The results were great, and there was some fantastic feedback - make sure you look out for the next event! 

As for Clays, as of 1st February, their doors are now opened and there are two parts to the restaurant. Firstly, the main restaurant for sit down meals. Nandana's menu is incredible and the food is always amazing. The second section is the bar area, for small plates, beer and cocktails. 

We're delighted to have 4 permanent lines of Siren Craft Brew beer pouring, so there's always something for everyone! 

Having garnered some incredible reviews from the likes of Jay Rayner and Tom Parker-Bowles, we suggest you get down to Clays soon, you won't regret it.

January Release Roundup 

We’ve seen some fantastic new releases in January. In case you’ve missed them (and if you have, you’re in for a treat), here they are: 

Nitro Barrel Aged Shattered Dream – 13.3% Imperial Breakfast Stout 

You read that right – 13.3%. We’ve resurrected Shattered Dream, a scaled-up version of our award-winning flagship stout Broken Dream, and given it the barrel aged treatment. This luxurious rendition has been slumbering in bourbon barrels for 30 months, before being hit with cacao, coffee, and vanilla after blending. Expect decadent milk chocolate flavours in abundance, with an edge of warming whiskey and subtle vanilla wafer notes from the barrels.

How The Turntables – 3.4% Table Beer 

The winter season is not just for heavy hitting impy stouts.  Light and delicate with bags of flavour at a sessionable strength, this table beer pours with a gentle haze, inviting you into a harmony of Citra, El Dorado and Amarillo hops, supported by subtle pale malts. Expect mango, pineapple and zesty orange notes with popping aroma and a soft mouthfeel.​

High Stakes – 12.6% Barrel Aged Imperial Stout  

An exceptional and ambitious chilli-chocolate-bourbon-honey-salted-caramel-imperial-milk dream. A blend of stout, wood and rich ingredients delivers an intriguing yet comforting, smokey and delectably sweet experience.

High Times – 7.2% Barrel Aged Wild Ale 

A light, tart and accomplished wild ale with Saison and Brett yeasts working in tandem. Expect notes of white grape and floral tea leaves, orchard fruits and hedgerow berries, wrapped up in creamy oak.

Oringin Story – 10% Limited Edition Imperial Stout 

A very special edition of Origin Story with beautiful zesty orange. Elsewhere, this beer is full of rich malts - expect caramel, honey, nuttiness, chocolate, coffee, and subtle smokiness all coming through with refined depth. Rich residual sugars balance with oak tannins to keep the beer drinkable, moreish and spectacularly flavoursome.

Caribbean Chocolate Mole Cake – 8.8% Tropical Stout with Cacao, Cypress & Spice 

The return of a king. We have a limited amount of Mole left from a Canadian shipment in 2022 that we were lucky enough to get out hands on.  An extravagant spin on Caribbean Chocolate Cake, one of our all-time favourite beers, brewed in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing. We're taking inspiration from Mexican Mole in a carefully balanced crescendo of heart-warming chilli, chocolate, spices and wood.

Desert Flame – 4.2% Red IPA 

A beautiful Red IPA built with a host of rich speciality malts. We've used Simcoe, Amarillo and Eclipse hops for some balancing bitterness, resinous pine, and zesty orange notes.

Lumberjack – 4% Nitro Porter with Bourbon Maple Oak 

This porter is all about flavour and body. Here we have minimal roast character, focussing on the rich chocolatey malts without losing any toasty depth or nuttiness. For some extra indulgence, we've spun the beer on bourbon barrel oak which has been infused with maple syrup!

Unstoppable Force & Immovable Object – 6% Twin IPAs 

Two irresistible IPAs with joint base recipe – but one with Citra and the other with Simcoe. Oily, resinous, and vibrant, both of these beers are supported by an undertone of new crop Mosaic hops, and drink with a beautifully soft mouthfeel with moreish bitterness on the finish. Try them together and choose your winner!
