Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 03:30 Tue 10/9/2012 Howdy! Have had the chance to try a beer from a UK brewer that is supposed to be called New Wave. Their beers Electric Fandango and Melody Maker were available at this years Stockholm Beer & Whisky festival through their importer and have also been served at some pubs in Stockholm. There doesn’t seem to be any information about them anywhere though so I thought I’d ask here to see if any of you have heard of them? Regards Alex

Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 04:04 Tue 10/9/2012 That could be correct. Apparently the beers could have arrived with a shipment from Williams Brothers. At least found a post saying so on a Swedish beer-site when trying to google for some answers, so not sure how trustworthy it is. Sadly that wasn’t the one I tried and I’ve found no clues about the Electric Fandango so far.

Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 05:27 Tue 10/9/2012 New Wave is certainly not an "actual" UK brewery. As far as I know, these beers have not been available in the UK - looks like they are only on sale in Scandinavia / Baltic region. Probabaly some sort of label beer specifically for that area. Who brews them is anyone’s guess at the moment and, since we don’t get them here, there’s not likely to be any easy way of finding out.
Message cgarvieuk P beers 37625 º places 457 º 07:11 Tue 10/9/2012 Ok New Wave are something to do with CraftCentric the small import/export/delivery company out of Edinburgh. So i will ask, but it 99% certain that its william bros

Ah, perhaps the pump clip did have a ’NW’ kind of motif on it, I couldn’t really recognise what it was trying to be at the time. When I added Melody Maker yesterday, I based my "Williams" deduction 100% on data from untappd. So if it’s wrong, blame them!
Message _angst_ P beers 5019 º places 97 º 15:17 Tue 10/9/2012 Thanks for all your info. Let me know if you find anything out when asking those craftcentric guys. Probably Williams Bros then but lets make sure :)
