RAT BREWERY X THE BAILEY HEAD 🐀🍻

On Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Grace from , Oswestry - CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year to Rat Brewery for a fantastic collab brew day.

Together, for the final pit stop on their grand Yorkshire collaboration tour, we’ve brewed up something quite special. A juicy 5% NEIPA packed with Citra and Talus hops.

Can’t wait to sample this one! 👀

A ROYAL REBRAND AT THE RAT & RATCHET 🐀

You’ve known it, loved it, and raised countless pints to it… Now, the original cask King Rat has a brand new name - chosen by you, our loyal locals!

Introducing the indisputable leader of the gang, Top Rat.

Yes he’s the chief, he’s the king
But above everything
He’s the most tip top
Top Rat, Top Rat! 🎶

Massive congratulations to Geoff Wignall, one of our long time regulars, whose winning entry in our renaming competition gave this fan favourite the fresh title it deserves.

Same bold flavour, same cask crafted goodness - just a new name to match its legendary status.

What a night 🍺🍺

Hi all.

🍻What a night 🍻

Firstly I cannot express how proud I am of the team we have here at the Emp. The way every staff member helped this evening has shown what a fantastic family we have here, be it jumping on the bar to serve, change barrels or even deal with a bizarr situation that frankly if I told you… you wouldn’t believe it.

Tonight we saw the love that people had for Liam as well as the love they have for them Emp. With the four barrels of 2 Metre Rat-a-tat selling out in astonishing speed! We’ve all had an emotional evening, thinking about Liam and his whip crack of a laugh and would like to thank everyone who came. Without our fabulous friends who drink here, laugh here and even enjoy a bit of cheese here, we wouldn’t be the welcome rest stop we are.

Thank you.

I’m sorry for those that missed the beer, but the next lot of our colab brew with Rat Brewery will be arriving soon, so keep an eye out for that!
