...and England have failed to qualify for the World Cup, 2 Unlimited are Top of the Pops with their dance smash No Limit, Shane Warne has bowled the ‘Ball of the Century’ and Rooster’s Brewing Co. has just hatched - forever changing the shape of beer in the UK. Originators and innovators of quality, new world pale ales, with an emphasis on flavour and aroma, our beers start to stand out and turn heads amongst a sea of brown beer, with Yankee (our flagship pale ale) leading the way.

Fast forward over thirty years, with countless awards having been won along the way – at competitions both at home and abroad – our ethos has always remained the same; to consistently brew quality, easy-drinking and well-balanced beers in cask, keg and can. Famed for brewing pale ales, we also enjoy playing around with different styles and flavours along the way.

Our collection of awards and festival wins dates back to the mid-1990’s, during which time the world beyond the four walls of the brewery has changed quite dramatically. Since the first time we mashed in we’ve witnessed the end of Apartheid in South Africa, the opening of the Channel Tunnel and a British tennis player win a grand slam title for the first time since 1977.

Coincidence? In a word... yes.
