This traditional dark mild won the bronze medal at the SIBA Northern region beer competition 2010 as well as being voted the winner in its class at Bradford beer festival 2010. The blend of 5 malts used in the mash give a smooth, mellow easy to drink malt flavour with a hint of liquorices in the finish.

Ilkley Pale

Lotus IPA

India Pale Ales were made for transport overseas and are strong in alcohol and strongly hopped. Our golden coloured Lotus IPA is both of these and more with summit hops from New Zealand and cascade hops from America giving strong aromas and flavours of mango, grapefruit and all round citrus. Winner of the bronze medal in the string ales category at the SIBA Northern region beer competition 2010.

Stout Mary
4.5% ABV

A full bodied oatmeal stout brewed with a blend of maris otter, roast, crystal and chocolate malts with wheat and oatmeal. The flavours are enhanced by the addition of Galena and Bramling cross hops to produce a rich and creamy ale with a strong bitter finish with blackcurrant and coffee flavours."Silver medal winner at the SIBA Northern region beer competition 2011"

Fireside Porter
4.2% ABV

Fireside is a deep chocolate Porter strongly hopped to add berryfruit with a lasting bitterness and a hint of smoke on the finish. A perfect beer to sip in the Winter’s dark evenings.

Triple A
4% ABV

Triple A is an All American Brown Ale: using heavyweight American hops to deliver bitterness, it has a huge citrus hop hit and is balanced and smooth to drink. Triple A is a deep amber-coloured ale and is inspired by some of the most popular American Brown Ales currently available on the USA craft beer scene. Best enjoyed with a big hamburger and fries!

Black Summit
5% ABV

It doesn't sound right, a dark India Pale Ale, but this beer is made with pale malts in the IPA style with just a bit of black and chocolate malts and roasted barley to darken the colour and introduce a roundness to the body.

On Ilkley Moor B'ah t'at

A little explanation is perhaps needed about some of our beer names. Olicana is the Roman name for the spa town of Ilkley, home to our Brewery and was used as a trademark by the original Ilkley Brewery set up in 1873.

Mary Jane and other names are taken from the Victorian song "On Ilkley Moor B’ah t'at" which has become a default anthem for Yorkshire and tells the tale of a young couple courting on Ilkley Moor. The young lady in question is called Mary Jane and whilst we don't know the identity of the young man, he is without a hat (B'ah t'at)!
