I remember drinking a pint or two of Roosters Yankee out of an oak cask at the Leeds Beer Festival in 1995. If that hipster enough?

I've had Roosters beers at various places - quite like lighter bitters and Roosters seem to produce a few of these.

If they've gone onto the trendy craft beer side of things, I can't comment. I personally reckon the craft beer scene is just a scam promulgated by hop growers as the beers all seem to have a shitload of hops chucked into them.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner


Yeah it's as hipster as you like. Another couple of pints and I was definitely going to challenge the barman as to why he was wearing a woolly hat on one of the hottest days of the year. Still enjoyed it though and considering how small the bottle shop is there was a good bit of variety. The gang of teenagers outside doing glue and drinking halves of IPA ruined it a bit though.

Haven't been in Tall Boys but will have a look next time I'm in Town. Have anybody of the Leeds/Yorks based Mariners drunk anything from Roosters Brewery in Knaresborough. Had some really nice cans from there and they have one or two on tap in Friends of Ham which have all been good.


The Talbot Arms in Settle, currently owned by a Mariner and staffed occasionally by another, have Roosters' beers on tap semi-regularly. I'd say they're amongst the two or three most popular brewers they offer there. Londinium is on right now, as it happens; it's black as night & 5.5% - so a little niche - but delicious.

Before I transitioned to predominantly darker ales, I tended to enjoy the hoppier end of the pale/golden offerings and for this, I'd genuinely say there is no better brewer of said beers than Roosters.

It's the Yankee I've had on draft recently. I didn't know they'd been on the go that long and to be honest thought they were probably just one of the myriad new breweries popping up everywhere. To be honest it's something I know nothing about - I just like a few pints. Would usually go for IPA's and not usually keen on the really strong, hoppy stuff myself.

Great word, 'promulgate'. We like.

I do quite like Yankee and one or two other Roosters beers. I have a feeling I had a pint of Roosters (of some type) in the Notts earlier this year so they do get around a bit.

One golden beer we don't find up north enough is Exmoor Gold. Very nice indeed.

I got very merry on Roosters in Wetherspoons Scarborough a couple of years back. Nice beer and it's great now that there are so many places to purchase real beer nowadays. It was bleak for a good few years in the 80's and 90's for real ale lovers. I'm loving all the new light beers around now and have gone more off the darker beers the older i have got.

Hoping to be interviewed on Radio Humberside's breakfast show tomorrow morning about 07:15.

The hearing is 09:30 and should know either way by lunch time.

Thanks for the supportive comments.

Fingers crossed for PSG.  He's in the hearing now. Let's hope the outbreak of silly decisions taken in the justice courts doesn't infect the council.

Delighted to say the license was approved this morning. Really positive meeting. The council have been tremendously helpful throughout. Had a good, open chat with a couple follow folk who raised objections and it was all sorted in a grown up manner.

Need to work out a fishy discount scheme now...
