What is a
Cask Ale?
Moor - Revival Orkney - Dark Island Rooster’s - Wild Mule St Austell - Trelawny Thwaites - Nutty Black
Cask ale is a natural drink made from hops, malted barley, yeast and water. From these simple ingredients, the ale is brewed to many different recipes. It is a great British tradition which is not rivalled anywhere else in the world and, because of this, we bring you a new, fantastic range of ales to try through our seasonal ale festivals. We are proud of our ongoing Cask Marque accreditation showing that from the moment the barrels arrive at our cellar door, we continue what each brewery started, storing and serving each lovingly produced beer to the highest standard.
Lancaster Brewery
Ilkley Brewery
LOCATION: Lancaster Hops: First Gold, Saaz, Perle STYLE: Blonde
LOCATION: West Yorkshire Hops: Northdown (UK), Cascade (US), Summit (NZ) STYLE: India Pale Ale
Tasting notes: A vivid golden bitter, designed to offer pale beer with real taste and aromatic impact. The initial bitterness is followed by a surprising sweetness, culminating with a long dry finish.
Tasting notes: India Pale Ales were made for transport overseas and are strong in alcohol and strongly hopped. Our golden coloured Lotus IPA is both of these and more with Summit hops from New Zealand and Cascade hops from America giving strong aromas and flavours of mango, grapefruit and all round citrus.

– Lotus IPA 5.6%
Sampled and praised by Pete Brown at Ilkley Literature Festival, as he talked about his travels to India with a barrel of IPA, and documented in his book ‘Hops and Glory. Awards:

Moor Brewery
LOCATION: Knaresborough, N. Yorks Hops: Nelson Sauvin (NZ) STYLE: Pale
LOCATION: Somerset Hops: Chinook, Centennial, Cascade (all US) STYLE: Pale
Tasting notes: Pale coloured beer. Golden Promise malt and New Zealand hops. Amazing aromas closely mirror those of the Sauvignon grape. Moderately bittered. Long finish.
Tasting notes: Revival was brewed to celebrate the revival of Moor Beer Company when Justin Hawke took it over in 2007, and to this day serves to revive you when you need it most. A cross between an American Pale Ale and a Bitter, it supplies ample doses of citrusy hops and a dry finish with caramel maltiness. Although only 3.8%, it is immensely flavourful and is one of the world’s top rated beers.
– Wild Mule 3.9%
The essential oil profile in the Nelson Sauvin hop displays “fresh crushed gooseberries”, a descriptor often used for the grape variety Sauvignon Blanc, giving rise to this variety’s name.

St Austell Brewery
Acorn Brewery
LOCATION: St Austell, Cornwall Hops: Goldings (UK), Galaxy (Australia) STYLE: Traditional
LOCATION: Barnsley Hops: Sorachi Ace (US) STYLE: India Pale Ale
Tasting notes: Trelawny Ale invokes the best Cornish traditions, heritage and innovation. Locally grown barley is gently roasted to give this beer a classic burnished copper colour and a robust full body which belies its modest strength. A unique blend of traditional English Golding, and specially imported Galaxy hops from distant South Australia harmonise to give this beer a distinctive character of the old, and the new, world. Peach and apricot notes dominate the aroma, with hints of butterscotch and toffee apple. The taste is full, with toasted biscuit and jam being balanced by the mellow, yet assertive bitterness of tangy hops.
Tasting notes: Rich golden India Pale Ale. A smooth bitterness gives way to a lemon, orangey marmalade and herbal aroma leaving a lingering sweet taste on the palate.
– Trelawny 3.8%
