The brewery in Horbury Bridge opened May 2013 by a father and son from Huddersfield, both called Grahame Andrews, The father's an ex-Navy man whose bucket list included starting his own brewery and his son has just come put of the Army.
Father and son, the two Grahame Andrews.
On a naval theme the first two beers were been Maiden Voyage, a 3.9% English amber ale, typically Northern, moderately hopped to be moderately bitter and not citrussy, and Golden Rivet (origin in naval folklore), quite different, near blonde, mildly bitter and very mildly hopped. This was followed by Bosun's Whistle at 4.3% and completing a spread, a mild, probably to be called Bosun's Mate. Grahame the father is an ex-naval man and Grahame the son is ex-army, so army-themed beers will also form part of the portfolio including Yorkshire Pals, a bitter which celebrates those "Pals" regiments to which local men signed up in WW1 so they would be with other volunteers from the same town or district. . This badge for the East Yorkshire Regiment incorporates the Yorkshire white rose. Bosun's also used a white rose on their pump clip. Unfortunately Samuel Smith of Tadcaster view the white rose as their trade mark so they have suggested that Bosun's remove it.
Neither Grahame is involved in the current brewery.
