SUMMARY:Bowland Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Day 4 – We have chosen Bowland Brewery. \nAles Of Outstanding Natural Beauty are brewed beneath the chimney at Holmes Mill in Clitheroe. Behind the famous Beer Hall at Holmes Mill\, a dedicated team of artisan brewers craft a collection of cask beers inspired by the outstandingly beautiful landscape of Bowland. \nBowland Brewery started life as a microbrewery on the edge of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty\, making a selection of beers named after the scenery and wildlife of this picturesque corner of Lancashire. As the reputation of Bowland Brewery cask and bottled beers spread\, demand increased from further afield requiring a relocation to larger premises at Holmes Mill in 2015. \n\nThe brewery is visible through large floor to ceiling glass windows at the back of Bowland Beer Hall\, our award-winning tap house which boasts one of the longest bars in the UK with 42 cask hand pull ales \nThis month we celebrate 10 years since joining the James’ Places family. As we continue to grow in size and ambition\, we remain firmly true to our roots – never compromising on quality or our ethos to create outstanding ales inspired by outstanding surroundings for beer drinkers everywhere. \nGreat beer that does good! We are continually inspired by and committed to the beautiful part of the country which we live and brew in\, so here at Bowland Brewery we are always looking at ways to give a little back to support both our community and our environment. \nFrom giving our spent grains to local farmers to feed their cows\, to using our very own honey from our new hives in our Bumble Honey Beer\, we are dedicated to the landscape from which we draw inspiration. \nWe are also committed to supporting local causes from across the Forrest of Bowland Area of Outstanding National Beauty. From sponsoring local events like the Ribble Valley Jazz & Blues Festival to creating a special ale for the Ribble Valley Pub Walk to raise much needed funds for East Lancashire Hospice.

SUMMARY:White Rat by Ossett Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Our first Beer of the Day for Cask Ale Week 2024 is White Rat by Ossett Brewery and has been chosen by Cask Marque Marque Assessor\, Martin Hilton. \nMartin Says: “I think it’s a great beer\, a white hazy pale cask ale that based upon my assessments over the year seems to be really consistent in flavour\, really respected by landlords and really cherished by pub goers”. \nOssett’s Head Brewer has shared some interesting facts about White Rat \n\nThis very pale\, hoppy ale is made from low colour malt. A combination of Cascade\, Columbus and Amarillo hops produce an intensely aromatic and resinous finish.\nWhite Rat was first brewed in September 2011. After a test brew (Lab Rat)\, White Rat was the first beer brewed at the Rat Brewery in Huddersfield\, and was designed specifically to match the drinking preferences of the regulars in the pub.\nOriginally the beer was brewed with Cascade and Amarillo\, and a smidgen of Admiral for bitterness\, but in 2012 when the it was just starting to build a reputation there was a shortage of some US varieties – including Amarillo! To flesh out what Amarillo we had\, we substituted in some Columbus and the recipe has remained the same to this day.\nIt was brewed as a tribute to some of the classic American pales\, with it’s high bitterness and intense citrus aroma\, and for some it was seen as a little extreme back in the day. However\, as tastes have evolved it has become a firm favourite.\nOriginally one brew of twenty casks was brewed each week\, but as its popularity grew that became two and soon four. To meet demand\, production moved to the larger brewery at Ossett and became an Ossett branded beer in 2020.

SUMMARY:Old Peculier
DESCRIPTION:Today’s Beer of the Day judge is Mark Dredge\, beer writer and presenter. \nHis choice is the classic Theakston ale\, Old Peculier. He says: \n“I don’t think I’ve ever seen Old Peculier available on cask and not ordered it.  It’s one of the great British dark ales with its inviting aroma of chocolate\, dark malts\, cherries\, dark fruits and banana.  The body is lush and smooth\, with a delicious richness of malts that’s so satisfying to drink.  It’s an ultimate ale to drink in the pub on a cold evening. \nAbout Theakston Old Peculier \nTheakston Old Peculier is possibly one of the country’s most well-known and loved ales. The unique\, beautiful brew is often imitated but never matched and is sold literally all over the world. With countless awards to its credit\, it is something much admired by ale lovers and is the epitome of the greatest of the British brewing craft. \nIn the early years of the modern brewing era\, about two hundred years ago\, many brewers produced a dark\, strong ‘stock’ beer in the winter months\, to provide a base amount of fermented beer to add to beers brewed in the rather more volatile months of the summer. Old Peculier probably owes its origins to this. In the early years of its inception\, the beer would not have been branded by name as such\, but like most other beers from most breweries was probably referred to by the number of chalk crosses stamped on the wooden cask containing the beer. For many years even up to within living memory Old Peculier was represented on individual casks by four X’s\, XXXX. During late Victorian times\, the beer became affectionately referred to\, by locals\, as Yorkshire’s ‘Lunatic’s Broth’ referencing the unique flavour and strength characteristics of the beer and the possible effect of over-consumption! However it is thought that the nickname did not reflect well on the brewery or the town and so a more respectable name was required. \nThe town of Masham is most unusual from an ecclesiastical point of view unlike most churches in the country which are attached to the local diocese\, Masham was given a particular status\, a ‘Court of the Peculier’ as opposed to ‘Court of the Ordinary’. This relates back to medieval times where the ‘living’ of Masham was given to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter in York as repayment for the negotiated release by the Knights Templar from imprisonment in the Middle East during the Crusades\, of the owner of the ‘living’ of Masham\, Roger de Mowbray. The Archbishop\, however was not overjoyed with this arrangement as he was responsible for administrating the law and the journey to Masham involved travelling through thick forests inhabited by cut-throats and vagabonds. His solution was therefore to free Masham from ‘All the customs and claims of his Archdeacons and officials’ and the Peculier Court of Masham was established to administer the law. Peculier is the Norman French word meaning particular rather than odd. The Chairman of the court was known as the Official and had a seal to mark his approval or decision. There is no record of the original seal but the seal in use today was created by King George III in 1747 and is thought to be based on a much earlier original. \nSo reflecting the unique status of the town of Masham and that of Mr. Theakston’s much admired strong beer\, the name of Old Peculier was deemed a much more suitable solution. At first the spelling of Peculier was with an A rather than an E. This was done to politely draw a distinction between the Court and the beer but over time the spelling of Peculier with an E has become the established version \nUsing the finest of ingredients\, Theakston Old Peculier is the alchemy of the famous Theakston twin-strain yeast\, pure Yorkshire Dales water\, the finest malting barley\, top quality English hops and the alignment of the brewing vessels and processes in the Victorian tower brewery\, the home of Theakston’s in Masham since its foundation nearly 200 years ago. \nThe beer has wondrous qualities. The aroma of subtle fruity black cherry and banana overtones develops into a delightful\, warming\, fruity flavour\, with beautifully balanced sweetness tempered with a mixture of bitter hops blended with the majestic Fuggle fruit hop. Brewed at an original gravity of 10.57 degrees\, the original mashtun\, installed in the ‘new’ brewery in 1875\, creates from the mash\, the amount of fermentable and un-fermentable sugars to ensure that the correct balance of residual sweetness is retained at the splendid\, heart-warming 5.6% ABV. \nWhilst very well-known for many years\, locally\, Theakston Old Peculier’s national and international reputation began in the late 1960s with the re-discovered enthusiasm for traditional cask ale at a time when keg ale was all the rage. At the same time a campaigning group now numbering close to 200K members advocating a return to top fermented cask conditioned beer\, the Campaign for Real Ale adopted Theakston’s Old Peculier as an exemplar of how proper beer should be brewed and presented. The popularity of Old Peculier spread like wild fire and is now sold in countries in every continent of the planet (except Antarctica!). Indeed there is an ‘Old Peculier Appreciation Society based in California\, some years ago the Canadian Veterans International Rugby Team was called the Old Peculiers. We even have a UK based Hockey club called the Old Peculiers. \nToday\, Theakston Old Peculier is the title sponsor of the world’s leading Crime Writers Festival attracting the greatest crime writers to a four-day extravaganza staged in close by Harrogate \nFor nearly 200 years and throughout the ever changing market in which beer trends come and go\, Theakston Old Peculier surely is one of the Britain’s greatest brewing treasures and which can demonstrate beyond doubt passing the true test of time. \nThe beer: \nFull tasting notes : Theakston Old Peculier is a beautiful\, yet very simple beer\, brewed using a very generous blend of finest pale\, crystal and black malt with two bitter hops\, Progress and Challenger combined with the majestic and noble ‘Fuggle’ hop to produce a beer of awesome full-bodied flavour with subtle cherry and rich fruit overtones. It tasted superb when accompanied by rich stews\, strong cheeses and sweet puddings \nCyclops definition \nBitter 2\nSweet 3 \nSee Deep dark ruby\nSmell Fruity\, mellow\, warming\nTaste Rich\, full – bodied\, fruity \nStyle Premium ale 5.6% \nShort description: One of the world’s great beers – smooth\, strong and mellow \nDescriptor: The beer that made Masham famous – rich\, dark and smooth tasting\, with a character all of its own. Brewed using the traditional Fuggle hop\, Old Peculier is our best known beer and has a large and enthusiastic following all over Britain and around the world \n

SUMMARY:Theakston Brewery
DESCRIPTION:Theakson Brewery has been chosen for today’s ‘Brewery of the Day’. \nTheakston is one of Britain’s oldest established family brewing companies and is famed throughout the country and overseas for its wide range of premium ales brewed in our historic Victorian tower brewery.  Their legendary Old Peculier beer is sold in many countries overseas and is widely admired as a world iconic beer. \nLocated in the Yorkshire Dales market town of Masham\, North Yorkshire and controlled and run by fifth generation\, direct family descendants of the founder\, Robert Theakston. They use Robert’s passion for quality ingredients and brewing as the guiding ethos that has ensured their company’s place at the pinnacle of the brewer’s art today. \nHaving an amazing history encompassing everything from world wars\, economic highs and lows\, takeovers and buy-backs throughout nearly two centuries of brewing\, today\, Theakston remain at the forefront of the craft beer revival with customers all over the UK. We play an active role in supporting arts\, sport and the local environment both in North Yorkshire and further afield. \nCooperage\nTheakston have employed coopers since the founding of the company in 1827 and today\, Theakston Old Peculier in hand crafted oak casks is regularly ordered by licensees and made available to them across the north of the country. Theakston are very proud of their coopering tradition and to be able to continue the history of coopering\, being one of the last remaining breweries in the UK to still have an in-house cooperage. \nFor many hundreds of years before metal casks were invented\, wooden casks were the only means by which not just liquids but also foodstuffs were transported\, not least within the brewing industry. But such has been the success of the introduction of the metal version that very few brewers today still retain a cooper. The reason for this is that to make an oak cask of precise content from non-standard widths of oak is a true craft which cannot be replicated by machine. The manufacture of metal casks contrastingly is an automated process.  Find out more here. \nFind out more by visiting Theakston’s website\, here.\nBook a brewery tour here.\nVisit their shop here.

SUMMARY:Greene King
DESCRIPTION:Greene King has been crafting quality beers from its historic breweries in Bury St Edmunds and Dunbar for over 200 years. \nThe Westgate brewery\, in Bury St Edmunds\, has been the home of Greene King since 1799 and its leading cask ales are brewed here\, including Greene King IPA\, Old Speckled Hen and Abbot Ale\, as well as a broad range of seasonal and speciality beers. \nThe Belhaven Brewery is nestled in Dunbar on the beautiful East Lothian coast. As Scotland’s oldest working brewery\, established in 1719\, Belhaven brews several nation favourites\, including Belhaven 80 Shilling. \nPermanent Cask Ale Brands:\n• Abbot Ale is a 5% ABV traditional cask ale with a brewing process that has hardly changed over hundreds of years. Brewed for longer\, the ale has masses of fruit character\, malty richness\, and a superb hop balance. At this year’s Great British Beer Festival Abbot Ale was awarded silver in the Champion Beer of Britain Award and gold in the Premium Bitter category.\n• Greene King IPA\, 3.4% ABV\, is the brewery’s flagship beer. First brewed in Bury St Edmunds over 90 years ago\, this is an easy drinking\, session cask ale with a hoppy taste and aroma making it clean\, crisp and moreish.\n•  Old Speckled Hen\, 4.5% ABV\, is a British ale that was first brewed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the MG car factory in Abingdon\, Oxfordshire. The premium cask ale continues to be a finely balanced beer with a distinctive rich\, malty taste and fruity aroma. Old Speckled Hen is also the only traditional premium ale to be supported by national TV advertising.\n• The Hen family also offers another permanent cask favourite\, Old Golden Hen (4.1% ABV)\, a light golden ale that delivers both flavour and refreshment.\n• Belhaven 80 Shilling is a 3.9% rich Scottish ale with a classic red appearance with notes of toffee and soft fruit flavours. \nSeasonal Calendar\nThis year\, the Suffolk brewer launched its Fresh Cask Releases calendar\, a portfolio of 18 different cask beers\, available at specific times of the year. The calendar has been filled with a combination of returning favourites\, key calendar creations linked to sporting occasions and national celebrations\, collaborations\, and new ales\, inspired by legendary stories of the people and places associated with beer. \nFor September and October\, Fresh Legs\, a golden 4% ale will be available to celebrate the Rugby World Cup and offer the perfect pint to enjoy while watching the sport. Making its return\, Bonkers Conkers\, brewed with over five different hop varieties will also be available with a refreshed pump clip for September only. \nThe launch of Cask Pins\nIn July this year Greene King launched the 4.5-gallon pin to market\, meaning pubs will have the opportunity to manage a lower throughput at quieter times. The seven-figure investment means that by offering a smaller unit for operators\, cask can have its rightful place on the bar even at quieter drinking periods or even provide an opportunity to expand current range. \nProud to Pitch In\nGreene King IPA launched its funding initiative two years ago\, where a portion of sales of the beer are utilised to fund grassroot and community clubs around the UK. Clubs can apply for up to £4\,000 for much-needed support to enable then to continue to play the sports they love. So far\, Proud to Pitch In has granted over £500\,000 to over 200 clubs\, with the ambition to give away £1 million. \nCask Iron Guarantee\nThe brewer continues to support its free trade customers with the Cask Iron Guarantee\, where customers with Greene King cask ales can receive a refund for un-broached\, and credit for remaining volume on broached casks\, for out-of-date cask. Terms and conditions apply\, customers should contact their Greene King sales representative for full details. \nVisit the Greene King website – www.greeneking.co.uk\nVisit the Belhaven website – www.belhaven.co.uk
