A new introduction to the club for
2009. Carlsberg extra cold lager now sits side by side with our other best
seller Carling extra cold. At a modest ABV of 3.8%, this light lager has
been described as having a nutty flavour, and is the sponsorship leader for
most major sporting events.
At a specially negotiated price with
Carlsberg, this lager is a hit with the price conscious drinker, and
more-over, providing the member with more choice.
Brewing started in Leeds in 1792, and was then taken over by
Joshua Tetley
in 1822, just after the Napleonic War, although the brewing industry was
difficult to get into.
In 1960, it merged with Walkers Cains and in 1961,
became the main cask ale brewery for Allied Breweries. Today, it is brewed
under the close supervision of Carlsberg.
The smoothflow is our 'flagship'
bitter. It has a nice nutty
roasted full bodied flavour with just a hint of caramel. With an ABV of 3.6%
it is kept at 8oc which is almost
4 degrees cooler than traditional
ales to give extra refreshment where needed.

Now on sale!
Tetleys cask is
Britain's second-biggest selling ale. This 3.7% ABV ale is famous for
the 'Huntsman' logo which was ditched by Carlsberg in 2000 for the fear of
involvement in anti-hunting campaigns.
In 2010, they
now have plans to launch a major marketing campaign from pumpclips to
beermats to revive this icon, as the 'Huntsman' signifies quality and
heritage.

An award winning
lager which is sold around the globe. The club has tried several lagers of
the years, but this has been the favourite amongst it's members. The only
change in the last two years, is that we have upgraded to Carling Extra
Cold.
With an ABV of
4.1% and served at a thirst-bursting 20C, this lager is
consistent with quality. And so it should be, as Coors claim that they brew
over 1.5 billion pints every year!
Originally brewed by Oldham Ales until it's production was transferred to
Strangeways Boddingtons Brewery in 1989, until reaching its demise in 1996,
the classic 'OB' is carefully brewed to it's original format by Frederic
Robinson of Stockport. To ensure it's authenticity, the former head brewer
of OB Ales, John Barron was invited to the site in order that the exact
yeast strains and hops are used.
The result...a splendid 3.8% full bodied hoppy beer with a clean bitter
finish.

Ask for Cask !
The club has decided to 'take the plunge' and are now
proud to sell cask ale, in addition to the extensive bitter range already
being sold. Periodically, we will be scouring the region to bring you some
famous and the not-so-famous real ales from the micro-breweries which nestle
in some of the quaint villages in the area, to the larger breweries which
dominate the market.
Currently
on tap - 'Dobcross Bitter' (4.2% ABV)


We currently stock two products
from an impressive range.
The company formed in 1758 and situated in Tadcaster, brew their beers solely from authentic natural ingredients
without any chemical additives, raw material adjuncts, artificial
sweeteners, colourings, flavourings or preservatives.
Sovereign Bitter (4.1% ABV) is a pale
coloured beer with a delicate flavour and a pleasant floral, hoppy aroma
producing a very satisfying, refreshing, easy to drink ale.
Pure Brewed Lager is a premium
quality lager brewed with great care using only the finest malted barley,
hops, medium soft water and a bottom-fermenting yeast. It has a clean,
faintly fruity flavour and with an ABV of 5.0%, no wonder the regular
drinkers of this lager in the club call it 'loopy'.

Guinness all began in 1759, but some
248 years later, they have commenced brewing in Russia and now have
breweries in over 50 locations worldwide.
Served at the optimum temperature of
3.5oc, it appears to be black in colour, but officially is a very
dark shade of ruby. Despite it's reputation of being a 'meal in one',
Guinness only contains 198 calories, which is roughly the same as an equal
sized measure of skimmed milk or orange juice.
'Time is of the essence' when pulling
a pint of Guinness, as the makers in St. James' Gate in Dublin recommend it
takes no less than 119.53 seconds, to produce the perfect pint.
