We expect to serve around 200 local and national cask and keg beers from a large selection of breweries plus ciders and perries. This includes Yorkshire breweries and cideries, particularly those within 25 miles of York. There will be an expanded range of the best ales and kegs, ciders and perries from around the UK together plus a range of wine, mead and soft drinks.
Beer
A mix of beer styles in cask dispensed as handpull or gravity and complemented by craft key keg and keg. We expect to have a cornucopia of tastes to experience in September. We will have our 50th anniversary festival special brewed in conjunction with Yorkshire Heart Brewery.
The list of beers can be found on the Drinks Lists page and non-alcoholic draught beer will be served on the keg bar.
Cider and Perry
Cider and perry are better than ever, with the quality on offer increasing yearly. A trend has been for fruity ciders, with all sorts of things added, typically meaning they have a lot of sugar and are very sweet.
Although lovely in their own right, the traditional ciders are often much more excellent once you slow down and find the flavours stored within.
We are blessed here at York to have some real cider and perry experts, so if you are unsure, we would be delighted to help you find the perfect cider and perry with 30 on sale in the church.
The list of ciders and perries can be found on the Drinks Lists page.
Wine and Mead
We are featuring a range of white, rose and red wine, and white fizz plus the ever popular mead selection.
The list of wines and meads can be found on the Drinks Lists page.
Water is available free of charge in the church and soft drinks can be bought from the caterers.
