REAL. YORKSHIRE. LAGER.
At our brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire, we brew 54 to a simple yet unique recipe that has Yorkshire authenticity at its heart. Every batch of 54 is brewed with fresh water from the Yorkshire Dales and is fermented in our iconic ‘Yorkshire Squares’ – a fermentation system that is rarely used elsewhere in the world. German Pilsner malt forms the base of 54 whilst a blend of noble hops from Bavaria give it a distinct, aromatic finish with vibrant floral notes aplenty.
Crisp. Clean. Refreshing.
THE SOUL OF 54.
Though the recipe is inspired by the classic lagers of Southern Germany, 54 is built on a foundation of true Yorkshire spirit. The ethos of 54 is to encourage people to travel, explore and to revel in the experiences that our amazing county has to offer. To experience the hills, vistas, rivers and people that make this part of the world so special.

330ml can from my son's Beer52 box: BB31st Mar 2022. Drank on my patio on 6th Jun 2021. Clean and clear light golden body, fast fading white crown. Nothing to get excited about, but it's a decent enough Lager/Helles with the usual attributes of very little aroma or any strong flavours. Went well with my BBQ food.

Bottle from ASDA Supermarket, Halifax. Golden with a bubbly head. Has a fair malty-pilsner blast in both aroma and taste, fairly clean textured too, but it is just a lager!

66cl bottle from Morrisons, Bracknell. A straw coloured pour with fast fading white head; grainy aroma with a hint of grass; sweet and grainy in the mouth with some Yorkshire yeast; then a very light grassy bitterness, before a rather cloying finish.

Bottle. Morrisons. Clear gold. Thin, white head. Nose has syrup. Hairspray. Butter. Taste is sweet, with some privet leaf bitterness. Syrupy mouthfeel. I’m glad I’m drinking this really cold. Buttery, soapy finish. Now I quite like a shitty lager, but this actually went down the sink. And it’s not often I do that.

On keg at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with steady carbonation with a decent lacy head. Nose - light citrus and sweetcorn. Taste - lemon sweet notes. Then a dry herb or metallic note. Palate - light bodied sweet in the middle and a dry finish. Overall - decent in the finish.
