How can our Meet The Brewer evenings get any better? Each month seems to raise the bar and last Monday was no exception as Roosters brought their Yorkshire wit with them and served up five tasty beers, each matched with locally sourced food. A fantastic evening, here is what we sampled :
Buckeye – served with Buckeye infused pork pie (Elite Meat, Harrogate)
Wild Mule – served with parmesan & herb biscotti (Bettys, Harrogate)
PS I Love You – served with Wensleydale cheese & farmhouse fruit cake (Farrah’s, Harrogate)
Londinium – served with vanilla cream and caramelised nut chocolate (Farrah’s, Harrogate)
The Accomplice – served with Mrs Bell’s Yorkshire blue cheese with Cartwright & Butler crackers
Many thanks to all at Roosters Brewery!

Hatched in 1993, at a time when most ales on the market were brown, Rooster’s Brewing Co. fast developed a reputation for brewing ground-breaking, hop-forward pale ales that showcase exciting new hops from the USA. Beers such as Yankee™ soon started to attract the attention of judges at beer festivals across the UK, racking up countless awards along the way.
Fast forward nearly twenty years and Roosters are still crazy about hops and the flavours they impart on beer – their hop store is crammed full of varieties from all over the world, from Australia and New Zealand to Slovenia and North America. But that’s not to say they don’t enjoy playing around with other flavours and styles of beer along the way.
Over the years the awards have kept coming, but on a slightly larger scale, with both YPA™ and Leghorn picking up gold medals at the prestigious World Beer Cup in recent times. It’s their continued aim to produce the highest quality, clean-drinking beers possible, whilst also continuing to experiment and innovate, as new beer styles evolve and customer curiosity grows.
