Description
Proudly Brewed in Yorkshire since 1999

The award-winning Salamander beers was founded in 1999. Dr Daniel Gent (a doctor of brewing and one of Salamander's founders) mission was to bring high quality independently brewed beer to the masses. To this day Salamander continues to surprise and delight its many customers.

And we haven’t lost our touch for beer either.

Brewing ceased in early 2019 and restarted in late Summer 2021.

Cask @ Old Bank, Bradford. Golden with a small head. It's an undistinguished hoppy ale that's mildly sweet. It could be sessionable. Has a dirty nose.

24th July 2018; cask half-pint at The Station Hotel, Oakengates Shropshire. Golden body, white crown. Typical Salamander brew, light citrus leanings and a decent blend all round, easy drinking without offending or testing your senses too greatly, nice session ale.

Gravity cask at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Black, translucent, with a loose off-white head. Liquorice, coffee, a touch of plum and roast malt in the aroma. Sweet taste with a chalky bitter finish. Some stone fruit in the aftertaste. Body's a bit watery but it doesn't detract much from the overall experience. Not overly exciting, but I like it.

Hand-pulled half (cask) on 2nd May 2018, at The Station Hotel, Oakengates, Shropshire. Yet another golden ale out of Yorkshire, at least this one doesn't have a citrusy leaning in it's make up. Refreshing and fairly bitter, piney and resin like hop flavours above the light malty base. Easy drinking beer.
