The brewery: “Around the time that Yorkshire County Cricket Club was formed, whilst Palmerston was Prime Minister, Victoria was Queen and the American Civil War was in full swing, Isaac Poad started in business…..Since 1863 five generations of our family have traded the finest ingredients to brewers & distillers. We now use this experience to produce our own range of expertly crafted, award winning beer & gin.”
The beer: “Where it all started. A traditional bitter that combines the finest maris otter malt with traditional English hops. Well balanced, bronze in colour, smooth and easy drinking, our signature session beer clearly defines who we are.”
Procured by a friend whilst Christmas shopping during a visit to York, some may argue that, weighing in at 3.8% A.B.V it can’t be called a Best Bitter – however it tasted pretty good to me.
