Ossett Brewery purchased the Fernandes Brewery and Pub in 2007. 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%.

Cask handpull at The Royal Oak, Ockbrook, Derby. Very dark brown/black, lasting dark beige head. Caramlelly dark ale. Decent. Not normally my kind of beer, lots of caramel but then dryish choc finish. Leaves good flavour in the mouth of darkish choc.
