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.

Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a dark orange colour with a thin off white head. Malty, caramel aroma. Some hop in the flavour and yet more malt. Dryish finish. Pretty unspectacular, but drinkable.

500ml bottle shared with Jim. Goes down very easily, nothing bad about it, but otherwise entirely unmemorable - possibly a good session beer?
