RUDGATE BREWERY

Brewing up a storm in the heart of Yorkshire since 1992. Our 30 barrel brew plant is capable of producing 180 barrels per week using 6 open fermenters.

Established in 1992 the brewery is situated at the heart of Yorkshire in the vale of York. 6 regular beers are produced and 3 specials each month. The full infusion mash system uses only whole malted barleys. As well as 6 regular beers, 3 seasonal ales are brewed every month based on a Viking theme, using closely guarded recipes. The brewer's choice range makes up the other two seasonals - generally paler beers using hops rather than malts for flavour and character.

Things are changing out there! Leaves are getting crispy on the ground and we're hearing words like 'arctic blast' for the first time in a while! 🥶

We're here to remind you that even though the seasons are shifting and your palettes move towards the darker side of the beer spectrum, don't go forgetting about those glorious light flavours. Our Jorvik is full of summer flavour and as crisp as those leaves under foot! 🍂

Its an integral part of our core range, because at Rudgate we believe that light beers aren't just for summer, they need to be appreciated all year round! 👏

Order online now or give us a call if you want this golden treat on your taps! 👇

Monday was malt day... 😋

MD Craig was representing Rudgate's Hop on Board recently at London North Eastern Railway onboard tasting event at Newcastle Station and he got to share our Golden Ale with the one and only Dame Prue Leith🤯.

Prue has been working with LNER to help redefine perceptions of train dining and encouraging us Brits to explore new tastes. Free samples were enjoyed by all and it was great to show off Hop on Board!🍺

Have you tried our other October special yet?🤤
It's absolutely perfect as the nights are starting to draw in!

With Mythicale, we have packed in the last kick of summer’s tropical fruits and backed them up with the introduction of those subtle spiced autumnal notes. This beer is as golden as the harvest moon and squeezes in a lot of flavour for a modest 4.3%.

It's available now, and our chief tasters are very happy with this one. It won’t be around forever so make sure you get in touch with your usual point of contact as soon as possible and give your customers a taste of the changing seasons.

It's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark… But you’re not out of time to order this thriller of a pale ale! 👻

Our devilishly delicious pale ale is back in time for Halloween and we anticipate like last year that it’ll be here one minute and vanished the next. Make sure you get your orders in as soon as possible for this one! ⏰

The Frightfully pale weighs in just 4% but don’t underestimate it, there were only four horsemen and they had quite the bite. With enough citra to make you howl at the moon, and a fresh nose that unleashes the animal within, we guarantee this beer will have the whole pub enchanted for more! 🐺🪄

Available now!

🌧️There’s a chill on the horizon, the nights are getting shorter and everything is looking very wet. Since puddle season is upon us, it’s right that we have lots and lots of the dark stuff flowing at the brewery🍫.

The chocolate stout is the perfect beer for this time of year; capable of turning those bleak days into cozy excuses for a beer or three. This decadent beer packs in lots of rich malt, with the bittersweet note of cacao throughout. Order now online (link below) or give us a call if you want to have this lovely autumnal treat on your bar in cask.

🔁 With York Beer & Cider Festival celebrating 50 years of their festival we thought we'd throw it back with some pics from Rudgate festival appearances back in the day!

MD Craig hasn't changed too much (still often found smiling around beer!) and Vikings still make an appearance, of course!🪓 Just refreshed pump clips and hopefully even better beer than ever nowadays.

Here's to many more festival appearances to come 🍻.

Faith, angels, it’s called faith.
You have faith we are going to deliver a knockout beer, and we deliver a knockout beer! 🥊

Our latest team mission threw out something floral, citrusy and hoppy. This powerful trio, despite packing a powerful punch, are more than stealthy enough to squeeze into the sessionable range. Unlike some 4% pales, this one will leave you wanting more. Give us a call to order yours now.
