We’ll have two cask specials available throughout May (or until we sell out!), so grab ‘em while you can, as we won’t be brewing either for at least another year. Full details are as follows…   Maypole -  Alc. 3.7% Vol. May is a month ‘for the elders’, according to Latin folklore at least, [...]

  April brings with it a brand new special in the form of Rude Boy, a single-hopped pale ale brewed using Dr. Rudi hops from New Zealand.   The name and design of the artwork is a nod to the Two Tone movement of the late 1970′s and is inspired by the imagery associated with [...]

  March brings with it a new special in the shape of True Grit. Brewed using a blend of Citra, Summit and Simcoe hops, it’s available for all of our free trade customers and has also been picked up by a few wholesalers who’ll be delivering it across the UK on our behalf, so keep [...]

  February sees the return of an old favourite in the shape of Leghorn, whilst we’ve also produced a dry-hopped version of our flagship beer, Yankee, which will be available for a limited period only. It’s amazing what the difference the addition of extra hops in the FV can make – grab it while you [...]

  Humble Pie is now available as our first special of 2013 and is a low strength pale ale, with a pleasant lemon, citrus fruit aroma and soft level of bitterness. Brewed using a blend of Aurora, Crystal and Galaxy hops, it’s ideal for those who’ve over-indulged at Christmas!   Humble Pie will be joined by [...]

  December sees the Return of Black Math, a liquorice stout we brewed at the same time last year for the first time that went down really well (although we’ve tweaked the abv. ever so slightly to 4.5%).   Black Math is joined by a brand new special in the shape of Franklin, which was [...]

  For your delectation this November, but available now…   Astro – Alc. 4.3% Vol. Brewed with Galaxy, the hop du jour, which is an exciting new hop grown in a country far, far away (Australia), Astro is a pale ale with a striking citrus and passion fruit character.   Londinium – Alc. 5.5% Vol. [...]

Originally brewed as one-off specials in April, the feedback we’ve had for Fort Smith (IPA) and Londinium (coffee porter) has been so encouraging, we’ve decided to brew them both again for September!   Londinium is available from today, with Fort Smith following suit next Monday (August 27th), so keep an eye out for them on [...]

  Hot on the heels of The Accomplice, we’ve brewed a brand new IPA to commemorate the hosting of the 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games in London and across the UK. Pentathlon is a 5% abv., Five Hop India Pale Ale that offers up a lasting bitter finish with a blend of punchy fruity aromas. [...]

  The guys at Odell Brewing Co., Fort Collins, Colorado, visited us last year as part of a whistle stop tour of various breweries up and down the country and were kind enough to invite us to have dinner with them that evening. As we sat and ate and drank, we talked about a lot [...]

Roy Hodgson has stepped up to the plate and assembled a squad of hopefuls to take on Europe’s elite at this summer’s European Championships in the Ukraine and Poland and, whilst everyone at Rooster’s would love to see the boys do the unthinkable and win the tournament, we’re a group realists and fully expect the [...]
