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.

Hand pulled half pint at the Snickleway Inn, York on 19th May 2026. Yet another citrusy flavoured beer from Yorkshire. Might be getting bored with them again now!

Lunchtime pint in the 'Spoons. Good colour, flavour and mouthfeel. Not wildly exciting but solid and enjoyable.

Cask at the Barrel Vault, St Pancras on 2nd May 2026. Deep ruby brown with tan foam affording spot lacing. Sweet malt aroma. Roast maltiness in mouth with just the hint of soap. Complex roast malt finish with smoky spices. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and rather more body than expected. Well brewed.

11/4/2026. Cask at the Isle of Man CAMRA 13th Beer & Cider Festival. Pours fine. Aroma is buttered toast and musty citrus. Quite sweet with mild bitterness and a slight drying tart edge. Light bodied, soft carbonation. Not keen.
