THE Black Sheep Brewery has brewed a bespoke beer for supermarket Sainsbury’s Taste The Difference range.
The brewery, based in Masham near Ripon, has brewed a Yorkshire Bitter, using traditional methods including the unique Yorkshire Square fermenting system which gives the beer its characteristic dry, refreshing bitterness along with Fuggle hops.
The beer will be available nationwide in 375 Sainsbury’s stores.
Phil Douglas, senior brewer at the Black Sheep Brewery, said: “The process used to brew the bitter creates such archetypal Yorkshire beers, which we are immensely proud of. To create the distinctive Yorkshire Bitter flavour we use superior Maris Otter malt, a touch of demerara sugar and a blend of hops including Fuggles and Golding.”
Jo Theakston, director of marketing and off-trade sales for The Black Sheep Brewery said: “We are really pleased and proud that Sainsbury’s consider the Black Sheep Brewery’s bespoke Yorkshire Bitter to be an integral part of its prestigious Taste the Difference range.”
