Amarillo Gold Gets Bronze!

Back in March, Saltaire Brewery delivered 500 casks of Amarillo Gold in one week for the Wetherspoon’s International Real Ale Festival (in pubs from 27th March to 14th April). The beer is a 4.4% clear wheat beer made using 100% Amarillo Hops.

The reaction from licensees and customers was extremely positive, so much so, that out of the 50 beers in the festival, Amarillo Gold was voted the 3rd best by the customers!

A delighted Paul Simpson, Managing Director commented “To be a part of this massive promotion is one thing, to then find out that our beer was voted the 3rd best out of 50 was fantastic. As this was our first beer to be featured in the festival, it makes the achievement even more gratifying”.

Not only did Amarillo Gold perform well in the Wetherspoons festival, it also managed a top third place in the recent Punch Taverns Finest Cask promotion.

Tony Gartland, Head Brewer, added “A huge amount of planning and effort went into Amarillo Gold, from ensuring that it would be a beer that customers would enjoy to making sure that we could meet all of the required deliveries. The beer’s performance in the pubs, after all of our efforts, is therefore particularly pleasing.”
