Notes

Here at Black Sheep we’re feeling invigorated by spring, so there’s no better time to reintroduce our seasonal beer: All Creatures – a fresh and light, Yorkshire pale ale.

All Creatures is the perfect accompaniment to a cool, spring day, with its sharp, bitter taste and hoppy kick. Full of flavour, but with a modest ABV of 3.5%, it makes an ideal session beer.

Golden in appearance, this beer uses a classic mixture of British Fuggles, Goldings, Bramling Cross hops, and a dash of wheat for a textured, long-lasting head.

This popular brew pays homage to Alf Wight and his creation of the famous veterinary character, James Herriot. All Creatures will be available throughout April and May, in the following outlets (more coming soon!):
