Black Sheep Brewery Visitor Centre

The original stalwart of the Black Sheep range. First brewed in 1992, Best Bitter is the iconic Yorkshire Bitter devised and created to offer beer with real flavour and bite. A different breed

Tasting Notes: Brewed with whole flower English hops, Best Bitter packs a genuine spiky bitterness with big character. Challenger, Goldings and Fuggle hops blend to create a beautiful aroma and flavour with kicks of grassy freshness and a big peppery punch. The Maris Otter malt offers a light sweetness that balances against those big bitter characters.

The new kid on the block. Brewed to be the easy choice, Black Sheep Blonde guarantees unparalleled refreshment to the very last drop. To achieve ultimate drinkability, we’ve built a light, bready malt base with the finest British malts, then layered up notes of zippy lemon, bitter grapefruit and sweet orange with bagloads of Celeia, Cascade and Amarillo. A full-flavoured beer where every sip tingles with crisp bitterness, keeping you coming back for more. A breed apart.

Tasting Notes: 

A robust and agile amber ale, first introduced to our range in 1994, Special Ale carries an explosion of fruit on the aroma and palate with the fruity esters offering notes of raisins and pear drops. The malt blend provides notes of toffee, caramel and biscuit which balances perfectly against those flavoursome British hops. Superbly bittersweet and an icon of our range, Special Ale holds a special place in our heart

Tasting Notes: Dark fruits hit the palate whilst the malt offers those sweet toffee and biscuit flavours.

Velo is a refreshing citrusy pale ale with a delicate hint of orange and coriander.

Tasting Notes: A refreshing citrusy pale ale with an intense fruit character and a hint of orange and coriander. A complex fruit and malt aroma.
