Good old fashioned bottled bitter

This is a superb light-ish ale, excellent when chilled on a hot day. No over gassy or heavy but full of flavour. Takes me back to beers of 50 years ago like Whitbread's County Ale. Better on hot day than lager.

Nice beer.

Very good beer... almost as good as County. It would be great if Riddles County was available in cans again!

A Ruddle Good Ale

Ruddles Best has a superb flavour, which is not too hoppy, and not too strong/ It's also very suitable to accompany meals. A very satisfying beer.

Before you proceed, we must ask you the age old question...
