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 Conditioned at Københavnske Øldage 2007
Hazy light amber color. Delicate but very nice fruity aroma. The body is quite weak, of course, but with respectable dry caramel flavor and bitterness.

Cask at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, dark golden with a minimal white head, more of a rim of bubbles. The aroma has a nice, vague fruitiness, with balancing maltiness, and notes of caramel. Nice, balanced flavor as well, with fruity hops, malt and caramel. Medium, maybe a bit thin body, and quite fruity finish. A very quaffable beer that easily could have been my regular if it was available here. (070512)
