Proud of its heritage and under the watchful eye of head brewer Paul Spencer, Ossett Brewery has continued to brew many of the original beers, whilst also devising many new brews which have become firm favourites. Brewer, Steve Hutchinson, now brews around 90 different beers a year from the pale ‘Straw-Weight’ at 2.8% to impenetrable black, full bodied stouts, such as ‘Voodoo’ at 5.0%.

Gravity at Steel City Beer Festival 2013, Sheffield - Absolute cracker, and one of my highlights. Deep mahogany body, thin white head, big nose of vanilla and coffee. A warming booze feel throughout the drink, taste of rum at the back of the throat, and a good bitter ending. Well done Fernandes!!!!

Gravity cask at the Solihull CAMRA beer festival 2013. Poured a deep mahogany colour with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is roasted malt, dark chocolate and orange. The flavour is medium to strong bitter with a weak liqourice spicy orange roasted malt palate. This really is a superb beer and the best I’ve had from Fernandes.
