Further to my recent blog about the closure of Kelham Island Brewery, well good news for once, as the brewery and its ales have been saved by a Sheffield-based consortium, so Pale Rider will be available again, reasonably soon, I presume. I've sent off a few messages, and will be in Sheffield very soon so can ask around whilst there, any further information I discover as to where it will be brewed etc, I shall share as it becomes know, nice one, cheers!
They still hold their facebook page and website, and I'll cut & paste the message on the facebook page that explains the news (below), and this page written by Pete Brown is great too!
Kelham Island Brewery lives!
With huge excitement and a real sense of responsibility we're delighted to announce that a group of like-minded Sheffield individuals have joined together to ensure that the beers of Kelham Island Brewery will live on.
James O'Hara, venue owner and Tramlines co-founder and his team have joined up with Thornbridge Brewery to ensure that this fantastic heritage lives on. Thornbridge have a rich history and relationship with Kelham Island Brewery, the first ever beers brewed at Thornbridge Hall were in fact Kelham Island beers and Dave Wickett, the founder of Kelham Island Brewery and hugely influential figure in the history of brewing in the UK was a key mentor to Simon and Jim when their journey began. We're also delighted that Ed Wickett, son of Dave and owner of the Fat Cat has given us his blessing and the Fat Cat will have the first pour of the new batch of Pale Rider on October 19th.
Keep your eyes peeled for more news dropping soon, Pale Rider will be back in its rightful place on tap down in Kelham at the Fat Cat before you know it.
Pale Rider rides again!
