Ambleside Inn

The Yorkshire Dales is in our blood, and in our beer. Protecting this beautiful landscape is vital to us at Black Sheep, and every drop of Respire contributes to tree planting in the Yorkshire Dales. Officially carbon neutral, Respire is the true pint with purpose. We footprinted the brewing, packaging and distribution of Respire, and offset this with official carbon credits, funding high impact bio-diversity projects. Citra and Chinook hops take the lead in this fresh and hoppy Session IPA, packing bright citrus, tropical fruit and crisp pine notes. Backed up with light, sweet maltiness, rounding out in a refreshing bitter finish. A breed apart.

Tasting Notes: 

A refreshing dark amber ale with a floral hop aroma and a clean fruity taste. The finish is smooth, dry and thirst quenching. A delicious champion beer.

Tasting Notes: Floral, fruity, smooth, dry

Theakston Best Bitter is the leading session ale within the Theakston portfolio. When we refer to a ‘bitter’ beer, the term does not mean sour as in lemons, but dry as in ‘dry white wine’. So Best Bitter is a full bodied, dry beer. We use five different hop varieties to make our Best Bitter forming a complex but subtle taste profile. The combination of dryness as generated by Target and Challenger hops, is balanced by sweetness created by the generous use of prime malting barley providing the perfect accompaniment to a wide variety of food flavours as found in a Ploughman’s lunch for instance.

Tasting Notes: This fine, golden amber beer has a full flavour that lingers pleasantly on the palate. With good bittersweet balance, this beer has a subtle hop character described as sweet and fruity. It's a very refreshing and satisfying pint!
