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.

York Beer Festival 2025, Beer#3. Lighter clear golden coloured. Nice and hoppy as expected, sugary nose and underlying tropical fruits in taste.

Festival pint draft at the Shambles Pub in York, England. It pours a crystal clear yellow color with a small white head. Fair retention. No real aroma to speak of. This is a pretty straightforward pale lager profile. Pale malt flavor. No bitterness. Easy drinking. Smooth and clean. It's good, but nothing special. This does have a tiny Euro lager sulfur finish to it that knocks it down a peg.
