Sorry about that Gareth, I did of course mean the beer section…not all of the shelves…the rest of the shelves were full of colour…especially the chilli sauce and cheeses.

Glad to see you’ve added online shopping to the site! Once i’ve made space I will certainly be popping in for some.

cheers
Andy

Glad you liked the Askrigg, Andy. Sorry you think our shelves are rather dull looking – we do like the labels to do the talking, as here.
Please note that several YDBC beers are available from us online (although not Askrigg just now) via our beer section: http://www.lewisandcooper.co.uk/store/wines.asp#2000050
Keep up the great work!
Cheers

Thanks Andy, not been up to Newcastle for a while, I miss working there alot!

I agree some of their darker beers are brilliant too. I like the idea of the house beer, I’ll have to come up soon! last time I had Askrigg on tap was in the dales before christmas, and before a hike too…not a good idea but i didn’t want to miss out lol

I have drank quite a few of the bottle conditioned Yorkshire Dales beers, and think that although the light hoppy beers are great, the beer that best suits the bottled format is definately ‘Garsdale Smokebox’, their awesome smoked porter. Bamberg floor-smoked malt is fantastic at packing an unescapable flavour punch, while in the true style of this brewery there are still plenty of hops to give a bitter cut-through. Try it with any decent strength cheese and it is great. The best way to drink Yorkshire Dales’ pale hoppy beers is in cask for me though – Rob brews me a new house beer every 3 months, with the entire brew being sold on my bar in Newcastle – Bacchus. If you’re ever in town…
