Ale Guide

Chairman: Paul Knapp Paul
Moorhouses' 'Black Cat'.

I'm a big fan of dark milds and this would have to be my favourite. As you'd expect, it's malty beer with roast, liquorice and fruity flavours. You could have one in a sitting, or you could have ten - it's fantastic!

Tomm Tomm
Greene King IPA

One of my favourite ales, since it was the first I ever drank whilst down in Suffolk, where it's brewed. A hoppy refreshing beer, which should always be enjoyed from a tap, avoid the cans if possible.

Wychwood Hobgoblin

One of the first ales I drank when I made my switch from lagers to the good stuff. I've only ever drank it from a bottle having not yet found somewhere selling it on draught.

Wayne Wayne
York Brewery Guzzler

A great light fruity ale. Easy to drink quite a few pints of guzzler over a session without feeling bloated or too drunk but it still has quite a bit of flavour to it unlike some other lighter ales.

Julia Julia
Rooster's Yankee beer

The cascade hops guarantee any fruit enthusiast will be pleased. A pale coloured ale, it has a lingering crisp citrus taste. Equally guzzlable as a refreshment on a hot summer's day and as a winter warmer. Bottoms up!

Steffan Steffan
Adnams ale.

It comes from Southwold in Suffolk so you don’t tend to see that much of it up in York. My favourite because it was the first pint of real ale I had. I still think highly of it. A good session beer.
