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.

Cask, handpump at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 19-07-10 Gold in colour with a medium white head, good clarity. There is a nice fuzzy bitterness in the mouth and you can sort of detect it even on the nose. Sweet maltiness soon gives way to a great bitter, hoppy and dry beer, its very nice indeed.

Hand pulled cask at the Pembury Tavern on 21st July 2010 during their summer festival. Pale gold with a tiny white head and limited lacing. Lemony citrus hop with slightly herby kick but then a sharp, rather harsh note intrudes before a finish that is basically citric.

Half, hand pulled cask at The Brewery Tap. Clear golden, tiny white layer, nice lacing. Smell of fruity hops. Rather vaguely taste of fresh citric fruits. Discreet bitter ending. Alright, a bit anonymous, though (Leeds, 10.07.2010).

Cask at The Cresent, Salford. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and straw, as well as lighter notes of butter, leading to a dry and bitter finish.
