Brew York and Kelham Island Brewery have collaborated on Yorkshire Rider, a modern pale ale to mark Yorkshire Day, on 1st August.
Inspired by Kelham Island’s award-winning classic, Pale Rider, it offers vibrant citrus and pine aromas, subtle floral undertones, and a crisp, balanced bitterness.
The beer’s artwork pays tribute to the region by featuring an illustration of a notable Yorkshireman riding on horseback — a familiar face from screen and stage. “Can you figure out who it is?” ask the brewers.
Kelham Island Brewery was established in 1990 and played a key role in kickstarting the modern British beer movement. Its flagship beer, Pale Rider, remains a beloved classic to this day.
“We’re incredibly proud to be working with Kelham Island on this release for Yorkshire Day,” said Wayne Smith, director of Brew York.
“Their Pale Rider was a major influence on so many of us, so to create Yorkshire Rider together is a brilliant way to honour that legacy and bring something fresh to today’s drinkers.”
