There's also Golden Sheep now in bottles, a paler ale from the same brewer. Glad you stopped by, thanks! @Dave Blaxley, Well if you fancy a hike and a Black Sheep you can’t do worse than the Pennine Way, it passes right through Black Sheep country and you can get a fresh pint from one of their Black Sheep pubs high in the Yorkshire Dales.

My brother (Bob Blaxley)and I have been drinking Black Sheep Ale in Calgary, Canada for about three 3 years now. It is truly our favourite brew and we have commented many times on how it reminds us of time spent in rural pubs in Britain. We're hoping to make it over one summer for some hiking and a taste of the Black Sheep on tap. Dave Blaxley It was great to read this excellent review.

Thanks for getting in touch, we certainly intend to take up the offer, and hopefully eat at the bistro too. We very nearly visited at Easter but time was against us, and I agree on tap it's (so far!) been excellent. Lots of Black Sheep breweries that way when I do the Haworth to North Dales part of the Pennine Way in May so will no doubt get a few pints then too! We weren't a million miles from your neck of the woods recently at Norwich Beer Festival, one of our annual pilgrimages (with a stop at beers of europe on the wya down too!) <a href="http://twitter.com/fletchthemonkey" rel="nofollow">Fletch</a> Hi Julian.

Unfortunately I live in Suffolk so we only see it occasionally as a guest beer locally but we do make a twice annual pilgrimage to Masham to visit the Brewery and the wonderful Bistro. Whilst the Ale is truly excellent from a bottle, nothing can compare to a pint straight from the barrel and I strongly recommend you take Jo up on his offer.

How did you come across it? I was actually very near to popping in to the brewery a few months ago (we were staying is Masham for a wedding) but unfortunately time conspired against us! I'll drop you an email and hopefully arrange something. Cheers, Mark (Fletch is fine though, everyone calls me that anyway!) Hi Jo, thanks for the comment and really pleased you read the review.
