The brewery: "Rudgate Brewery was established in 1992. The brewery is situated at the heart of Yorkshire in the Vale of York.......The original brewery was situated in the former ammunition building of RAF Marston Moor Airfield which was home to the Halifax bombers that helped defend our country during World War 2. The name comes from the old Roman road of `Rudgate’ which runs through the airfield. This road led the Vikings along our vale defeating the Romans in their steps. This road and its history is what instigated the main theme of Vikings for the brewery."
The beer: "A deep rich and satisfying premium stout with complex balanced flavours and a warm subtle chocolate finish."
Very tasty indeed. Just the job for what was a cold and wet week away in the caravan. 5.0% A.B.V
