Rudgate Brewery has broadened its range of beers with the addition of three fruit-based numbers.

Blue Nose, Key Lime Pie and Mango in the Night are available in 330ml cans, complementing the brewery’s core cask business.

Craig lee, MD of Rudgate Brewery, said: “We wanted to develop something a little unique, and are really delighted with our new ‘Innovation Ales Range’.

“The brewing team are already working on exciting new additions which we hope to launch in the coming months.”

Rudgate Brewery was set up in 1992 by 2 ex Bass Brewers in an old armoury building on the disused WW2 airfield on Marston Moor in Tockwith.

As the brewery was on the Viking road of `Rudgate’ it seemed natural to use this name and theme the brewery on Vikings. Viking Bitter was released in September 1992 shortly followed by Battleaxe. These were the only 2 beers produced until Ruby Mild was created around 1995. 

In 2011 a new brewery facility was built , volumes doubled between 2002 and 2008 then grew further under the new leadership up to our current volumes of around 120 brewers barrels (35,000 pints) per week and now into the expanding market of craft cans.
