BOLD, BALANCED AND PACKED WITH CHARACTER - JUST LIKE THE SIX NATIONS!
Inspired by the passion, rivalry, and camaraderie of the Six Nations Championship, Theakston Yorkshire 'AKA is a tribute to rugby’s greatest annual contest. The beer’s character is built on ingredients sourced from all six participating nations, uniting flavours from across Europe into a single, bold expression.

The addition of rye and honey gives a nod to the intensity and flair of the game, while the deep amber-red hue mirrors the fierce battles fought on the pitch. Adding to its Yorkshire roots, the beer takes inspiration from the 'Yorkshire Haka' (see below), a spirited and unconventional display of local pride that embodies the county’s love of the sport.

Brewed for fans, by fans, Theakston Yorkshire 'AKA is the perfect pint to accompany the highs and lows of the championship—whether you're at the pub, or enjoying the action from home.

This medium-bodied red ale is a true scrum of international ingredients, sourced from across the six nations. Its amber-red colour shines like a well-played match under stadium lights, while the aroma tackles the senses with spicy, honeyed, and cedar notes. On the palate, a rich malt sweetness runs through like a perfect pass, balanced by the gentle spiciness of rye and the earthy resilience of herbal hops. With a smooth, medium body and a finish as satisfying as a last-minute try, one sip and you’ll be converted—a winning choice for any rugby fan.
