Together they’d be my second highest county (just one rate behind London) and my third highest country (after England and Scotland), accounting for 7.8% of my English rates and 5.8% of my total rates.
I get to stay in Yorkshire a few times a year and go to regular Beer Festivals there, when we can that is, so I have a bit of an advantage, here are mine
East - 135, 3rd Pos
North - 740, 2nd Pos
South - 468, 3rd Pos
West - 927, 5th Pos
That’s a total of 2270 beers or 11.2% of my total or 14.6% of English beers.
If Yorkshire were a country it would be in 2nd place for me.
Hey @jercraigs, plaice Grimsby Town as a favourite football team (Adam Richman of Man v Food fame is a fan), we need more global supporters, in fact we need more local ones too!
Well, it’s hard to hide it with an accent like that. I’m half Yorkshire half Lancashire. Lived in both as a toddler. Looking forward to when Salopian reopens in Jan so I can catch up on East Riding ticks.
Plan for the Salopian, barring any further hurdles, is to reopen on 1st February - with the cellar moved to the old Lunts store and an indoor beer garden in its old warehouse. Fingers crossed
I haven’t checked, but I suspect that I’ve not added much to my Yorkshire totals over the last 18-20 months. West Yorkshire was always my favourite and there are some cracking breweries there but I’ve lost touch a little. Anyway totals are below.
East Yorkshire 24 (46th place)
North Yorkshire176 (32nd place)
South Yorkshire 127 (21st place)
West Yorkshire 439 (21st place)
What’s going on with South Yorkshire given the Sheffield brew scene? I am puzzled that it scores low whereas East Riding is largely just Hull.
I hadn’t realized how much more Magic Rock than Kelham Island I had sampled!
I actually meant S. Yorkshire generally and compared to West which most seem to sample most regularly. I accept that the East Riding has fewer noted brewers.
Probably because some of the bigger “craft” brewers such as Northern Monk, North, Vocation and Magic Rock are all West Yorkshire. Big numbers of rates for all these.
If anyone is interested in more East Yorkshire ticks, Vittles & Company in Hull have an online shop. I just ordered a couple of their beers, plus some from Bricknell, Raven Hill, Atom and (over the border in Lincs, ) Docks. Although I should have ordered a week or so ago because they had less stock today!
I thought I’d repost as my Yorkshire rates have improved in the last couple of years. This has to do in part with the intermittent time I spent in the Leeds area over the end of last year and the beginning of this year. I’m now on the leaderboard for all except West Yorkshire where I’m lagging by about 25 and can’t seem to make the step up.
My rates at the moment are:
East Yorkshire: 28
North Yorkshire: 175
South Yorkshire: 77
West Yorkshire: 226
Total: 506
Also 78 place rates in total in Yorkshire, compared to 29 two years ago. Mostly in the Leeds and Bradford area but a few in York and Hebden Bridge.
