Ale drinkers can raise a glass to the return of festive beers

The Black Sheep Brewery in Masham has announced the return of two of its seasonal ales; the Monty Python-inspired pale ale ‘Brian’ and the ruby ale ‘Blitzen’.

Both beers will be available in bottles at Black Sheep’s visitor centre and online, along with ‘Legacy 25’, the brewery’s limited edition, 750ml bottled beer that has been created to recognise the brewery’s 25th anniversary year.

Jo Theakston, sales and marketing director at Black Sheep Brewery, said: “It’s been an unforgettable year for Black Sheep with our anniversary and many celebrations, so it was only right to spread plenty of Christmas cheer!”
