The Butcher's Brew Club, which meets at Bitterne Park micropub The Butcher's Hook, teamed up with Lymington microbrewery Vibrant Forest to create a collaboration beer using Vibrant's commercial facilities.

The end result, World IPA, should be available to the public from Saturday.

Update: We understand it first goes on sale at the Vibrant Forest beer festival - read our previous feature here for a link. It will go on sale at the Butcher's Hook probably weekend 19/20.
