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-conditioned at the White Swan, York February 2020. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Juicy tangerine and pineapple fruits, big floral hops, a hint of white pepper, light rich tea malts and a dry finish. Excellent.

From wooden cask, third shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Wood Bar. Bubbles on the surface, diminishing off-white head, off-black in the glass. Chocolate malts on the nose. Flavoured with chocolate, vanilla sweetness to it. Moments of dark fruits towards the ending. Pretty good porter. (2nd day of the festival, 23.01.2020).
