SALAMANDER BREWERY
The brewery
The Salamander Brewing Company is situated in a former pie factory in the heart of Bradford. It was established in 1999 by Daniel Gent and Christopher Bee, who decided to escape life in the capital and return to their Northern roots to brew beer. Since then, they've not looked back and have won many awards, including Silver at the 2011 Great British Beer Festival.
What beers are here?
Golden Salamander, citrussy and hoppy with an ABV of 4.5% and Mudpuppy (4.2%), a bittersweet copper-coloured ale, make up the core range together with Salamander Stout, but the guys at Salamander have made hundreds of different beers over the years. The names of the beers are inspired by idioms and catchphrases, eg Jaywalker, Bete Noir and Bounder and the pump clip designs are a playful twist on these words.
Where to try
Salamander beers are regularly available in pubs right across the north, but for starters you could try the Fox and Goose in Hebden Bridge or The Fleece in Haworth. The award-winning Golden Salamander has also recently been on the pumps at the Strangers Bar in the House of Commons!
Did you know?
You'll be able to spot a Salamander beer by its distinctive pump clip. Designed by Yorkshire artist and film-maker Susannah Gent, the labels for each beer are iconic and collectable. You can see many of the designs on the brewery's own website.
