In late 2011 the brewery ran an exclusive ‘Brew Your Own Beer’ competition which was run again in the estate due to popular demand. The competition was run throughout the small York Brewery estate of pubs to help engage with customers during the notoriously quieter trading periods running up to Christmas. The response from customers was overwhelming and after some debate six finalists were chosen and one entry crowned winner by the team of judges at HQ.
Beer fan Bill Peacock landed the dream day out at the Brewery and after a very early start alongside the brewing team, Bill started to brew his very own ale which he had aptly named ‘Peacock’s Pride’ blended using Challenger and First Gold hops .
Competition judge and Head Brewer Nick Webster was impressed with his ideas, he explained
“Bill described a pale blonde session ale with hints of orange and coriander which was light, hoppy and very refreshing”

Cask gravity at Beer Rebellion. It pours clear golden yellow with a medium white head. The nose is fresh floral, tangerine, orange, wood, grass and light chlorine. The taste is smooth, peach, apricot, tangerine, wood, grass and straw with a clean, dry finish. Rather drinkable. A quaffable golden.
