We're damn proud of our Real Ales and the authentic English beer engines that serve these excellent full flavoured Ales. These babies pump or draw the Ale from the kegs in the cellar under the bar in the time-honoured English tradition - only one of a hand-full of authentic beer engines in the country!! Visit the camra website for more information

What's so special ? Well for starters the Ale is not overly fizzed or gassy like most modern beers - it undergoes a slow secondary fermentation in the keg (which is primed with fresh yeast and a little sugar), to produce a light fine carbonation. Next, although the Ale kegs are chilled in the cool room, the beer lines and beer pump are not chilled, so the beer is served to you at the perfect quaffing temperature of about 8 Deg C.
 

The fermentation and yeast in the keg adds to the full ale flavour sensation, and the low fizz levels and warmer serving temperature make this a unique and memorable beer tasting experience - the flavours are enhanced, soft and mellow! Just like the good old days!

We serve our ESB and Porter  by beer-engine all year round. The following venues also serve Holgate real ales by traditional beer engine:
