Other ‘off menu’ beers may also be brewed from time to time too.
WHITE ROSE [ALC. 4.3% VOL.]
Charity Pale Ale [Cask]
A bright, easy-drinking pale ale brewed with a soft base of extra pale and wheat malts. Additions of Ekuanot, Amarillo and Mosaic hops burst with aromas of ripe tropical fruit, citrus zest and juicy stone fruit, balanced by subtle notes of
fresh pine. The finish is crisp, refreshing and moreish.
This beer does more than taste good! 10p from every pint sold will be donated to the
Harrogate Easier Living Project, supporting the vital work of a local charity in our community. Every pint helps make a difference.
Trailblazer [alc. 3.8% vol.]
Pale Ale [Cask]
Trailblazer is a limited-edition West Coast Session Pale, brewed in collaboration with Daleside to support the 2026 Harrogate & Ripon CAMRA Ale Trail.
Built on a crisp base of extra pale malt with touches of wheat and crystal malt to add a little weight to the body, as well as a hint of sweetness, this refreshing session beer showcases classic American hop character. Inspired by our founding brewer, Sean Franklin – a true trailblazer who was among the first to champion American hops in British brewing – Simcoe, Mosaic and Centennial combine to deliver aromas of citrus, pine and soft tropical fruit, leading into a clean finish with a satisfying, refreshing bitterness.
Red means go [alc. 4.6& vol.]
American Red Ale [Cask]
Red Means Go is a bold American Red Ale, brewed with our friends from Port Street Beer House, balancing rich malt character with vibrant hops.
A girst of extra pale malt, red crystal, rye and wheat creates a deep ruby hue with notes of caramel, toasted bread and a subtle spicy complexity. Rakau and Chinook hops bring layers of stone fruit, citrus and pine, while a touch of Colombus adds a resinous edge and a clean, assertive bitterness. The result is a smooth, flavourful red ale with a crisp finish that keeps you coming back for more.
snagglepuss [alc. 3.2% vol.]
Pink Lemonade Radler [Keg & Can]
A vibrant Pink Lemonade Radler bursting with summer flavours. Refreshingly tart and juicy, it balances ripe raspberry with soft floral citrus, zesty lemon peel, and a crisp, clean finish.
Smooth and effortlessly drinkable, a touch of oats lets the fruit shine while delicate hops add subtle tropical and herbaceous notes. The kind of pint that makes you want to declare, “Heavens to Murgatroyd!” before ordering another.
Peculier Assassin [Alc. 5.4% vol.]
A Particularly Peculier Collaboration [Cask, Keg & Can]
The timeless depth and complex character of Old Peculier meets the vibrant, modern edge of Baby-Faced Assassin. This is not a revival or a reinterpretation–it’s a bold fusion of heritage and innovation, shaped by generations of brewing experience.
Available for a limited time, Pecuiler Assassin invites drinkers to experience what happens when traditional meets modern without compromise.
WILD WILD LIFE 2026 [ALC. 7.0% VOL.]
Barrel-aged Sour Saison [Keg & Can]
Barrel-aged for over six months, Wild Wild Life [2026] is a refreshing, yet refined, blended sour saison displaying smooth complexity, delicate herbal aromas, soft oak & a hint of vanilla.
The flavour is bright, yet balanced. Subtle spice & citrus mingle with soft stone fruit earthiness, alongside a touch of creaminess that softens the edges of the beer & creates a rounded mouthfeel.
Double Hazy Assassin [ALC. 7.4% VOL.]
Hazy DIPA [Keg & Can]
This souped-up evolution of our crushable hazy IPA moves in stealthily, before landing a juicy, tropical double ambush of ripe mango and luscious peach.
Behind the attack is an elite hop squad: Citra, Galaxy, Mosaic, and Nelson Sauvin – combining forces to unleash waves of bright citrus, passionfruit, and soft stone-fruit aromatics. The result is a smooth, dangerously drinkable DIPA that’s not to be
taken lightly.
