Country: England / UK
Style: English Strong Ale

BeerAdvocate.com rating: 91

Samuel Smith Yorkshire Stingo (ABV 8%) starts with water drawn from its original 85-foot deep well (sunk when it was founded in 1758) which is brewed and fermented in stone “Yorkshire Squares” (constructed of Welsh slate). The oak casks used to age this beer date back more than a century -- continually soaking in more and more character. For at least a year, Yorkshire Stingo matures in these oak casks in the brewery’s underground cellars. The results are deep and complex flavors of fruit, raisin, treacle toffee, Christmas pudding and mild oak, which are further naturally conditioned in bottle.

Samuel Smith Yorkshire Stingo is named for the British slang term for strong beer or ale. Popularized in the 18th century, the word is derived from the word "sting" and "-o". The beers and brewing techniques that inspired the term “stingo” include hop bitterness, wood aging and strong ales. With its Yorkshire Stingo, Samuel Smith Brewery perfects this venerable style. VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY. 18.6 oz. bottle.

Brewery Information:

 

Samuel Smith Old Brewery at Tadcaster, North Yorkshire, England was founded in 1758 and is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery. It is one of the few remaining independent exporting breweries in England and is the last to utilize the classic Yorkshire Square system with stone “Yorkshire Squares” (constructed of Welsh slate) for fermentation.

 The brewery is living tradition. Hops are hand-weighed by the master hop blender, and the brewing water is drawn from the original well, sunk more than 250 years ago. The rich Samuel Smith strain of yeast dates from the early 1900s -- making it one of the oldest unchanged strains in the country. The brewery still uses Shire horses to draw drays around Tadcaster five days a week, delivering beer in barrels made by the brewery’s cooper.

Samuel Smith beers and ciders are UK Soil Association and USDA Certified Organic. Many are vegan, registered with The Vegan Society. Samuel Smith also operates over 200 traditional pubs (including 20 in central London) -- in which background music, television and mobile devices are banned in order to encourage friendly pub conversation.
