About
Housed beneath The Rat and Ratchet and since the very first brew of Lab Rat in 2011, head brewer, Paul Spencer and brewer Robin Moss, have created rodent themed beers to critical acclaim. Our beers are distinctive, extreme, generally intensely hopped and anything but average, experimenting with a range of different beer styles, strengths and ingredients. Rat beer is now infecting all four corners of the UK faster than the Black Death, turning a local infestation into a national plague. White Rat in particular has emerged as the flagship beer and now sits within the Ossett core range.

Cask @ Vintage, Hull. Golden with a thick creamy head. It's a hoppy session ale and very easy in the palate, and quite full tasting for its lower strength.

Cask handpull at the Inn on the Green, Acocks Green, Birmingham. Poured a very slightly hazy dark golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, orange citrus, light woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth, rich malt, citrus, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A little light but very sessionable.
