Look out for an exclusive version of our Porter beer under the name of ‘Ruddy Ram’ throughout November and December. This will be exclusively available through one of our national wholesale partners and will also make an appearance in January and February through Molson Coors as ‘Ruddy Ram.’ We’re keen to see which version gets best received, so we’d love to hear from you! Why not tweet us?

Did you know that the word ‘ruddle’ refers to the red iron ore used in dyeing and marking sheep? Having this glowing red complexion is commonplace in the winter months and we hope you will warm up with a pint of Ruddy Ram or Woolly Jumper in a pub near you!

Dark ale with a smoked aroma as well as a similar taste which is somewhat rustic.

On tap at The Wellington at Birmingham, pours light brown. Aroma of spices, caramel malt and bitter English malts. Flavour of bitter / sour fruits, spices and stale caramel malts. Unpleasant.

Pint at the Station Inn, Conisbrough. Served a little too cold. Dark for a porter, more stout like. But fairly decent
