OSSETT BEERS OVERVIEW

Our Beers
At Ossett we have a very distinctive house style. Our beers are all generally; light coloured, hoppy, flavoursome and have a citrus or floral aroma. Rather than this house style being a particular philosophy of ours it has simply been driven by customer feedback and demand.

 

We have 5 permanent beers and each month we offer two specials.  See the brewing calendar below for this years specials.  Previous years specials can be found in the beer archive.
