Description
Rudgate Brewery was established in 1992. The brewery is situated at the heart of Yorkshire in the Vale of York. The original brewery was situated in the former ammunition building of RAF Marston Moor Airfield which was home to the Halifax bombers that helped defend our country during World War 2. The name comes from the old Roman road of `Rudgate’ which runs through the airfield. This road led the Vikings along our vale defeating the Romans in their steps. This road and its history is what instigated the main theme of Vikings for the brewery. The brewery expanded into a modern new facility in 2010/11 on the same site.

A Halloween themed beer drank on the eve of All Souls Day. Clear golden in colour with a thin head. This little devil is very drinkable for its ordinariness, a session ale certainly, with a small dryness, and a mild sugary-sweetness to its hoppiness

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; some citrus aroma; rather thin and soapy in the mouth, the grapefruit taste is there, but very subtle. I was hoping for far more from this.
