WharfeBank Brewery to supply premium Real Ale to Epernay owned pub
Tuesday, 11th December 2012
WharfeBank Brewery announces a long term contract to supply draught real ale and premium bottled ales to The Pour House, Leeds, owned by discerning Champagne connoisseurs Epernay.
The Pour House, based on the banks of the Canal in Leeds, opened to the public in November. This gastro-pub-come-stylish-bar is all about flavour, providing hearty rustic food, washed down with quality drinks and of course, real ales in the heart of the City.
WharfeBank Brewery, a local supplier nestled on the banks of the River Wharfe, is renowned for brewing a range of cask-conditioned real ales and will supply its high-quality best-sellers ‘Slingers Gold and Tether Blond’ on draught.
Slingers Gold is a 3.9% ABV golden beer with a balanced easy drinking feel. With a malty feel this ale is a favourite with the traditional drinker, and significantly different to many of the golden ales available. Tether Blond is WharfeBank Brewery’s flagship 4.1% ABV beer brewed with three different hops for a delightful fruity, hoppy feel.
To ensure customers receive the perfect pint, the team at WharfeBank Brewery has carried out real ale training and hosted a brewery tour for the Pour House team to engender a greater understanding of the brewing process and also the variety of beers available.
Martin Kellaway owner and managing director of WharfeBank Brewery comments:-
“At WharfeBank Brewery, we foster long term relationships with our clients. We are keen to help train their staff to embrace the real ale they are serving. If staff know their beers and can make informed recommendations based on flavours, and link the beer to dish of their choice from the food menu - customers will keep coming back for more!”
For those customers looking for a bottled beer The Pour House will also be serving WharfeBank Brewery’s new range of bottled beers; Tether Blond, Yorkshire IPA and Yorkshire SPA, all available in 500ml bottles.
Jon Lilly of The Pour House comments:-
“WharfeBank Brewery has helped us to get everything just right for Epernay’s new venture into the traditional pub market with the opening of The Pour House. We have had a great first month of trading and we are delighted with customer feedback.”
