“Whist with yer, or I’ll give yer to a Navvie” was a threat used by mothers of the Leeds & Thirsk railway to keep children quiet. The railway navvies (short for navigator) were an incongruous band of miscreants that snaked the country in a drunken revel rout, constructing the transportation arteries that would power the Industrial Revolution. These men, their families and other railway adjacent workers were indispensable during industrialisation. This beer is an homage to these workers. Soft & biscuity malt juxtaposed by sharp yet thirst-quenching bitterness.

500ml bottle from the Cheese & Wine Shop, Darlington. Golden amber colour, foamy white head leaving some lacing and aroma of malt, fruits. Taste is malt, caramel, fruity, with nutty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying nutty bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
