Based in Tockwith, in the beautifulVale ofYork, Rudgate Brewerywas founded in 1992 and is family owned.
We brew in an age-old traditional manner using only the nest ingredientsto create our award winning beers.
OurYorkshire mains water needs very little adjustment in the burtonisation process tobecome our brewing liquor. Pearl is our main base grist and our brews include othermalts such as Wheat, Lager, Crystal, Chocolate, Caramalt, Roasted Barley and Brown
Malts. We use whole cone hops, sourced from around the globe.
We pride ourselves on quality and consistency. Some of this comes from using our secretyeast! Originally sourced from Cannon Brewery, Sheeld, the Stones Ale yeast works
extremely well for us and with our beers.
