Beer Name Origins Centurion's Ghost Ale, which is 5.4% alcohol by volume, is York Brewery's strongest beer and is named after an incident when an apprentice plumber saw Roman soldiers marching through the cellar of Treasurer's House in York. 'Brideshead Bitter' (no longer available) was produced in conjunction with Castle Howard, where scenes from the television series Brideshead Revisited were filmed. Pubs As well as producing ales, the brewery also ran three pubs within York, namely The Three-Legged Mare, The Last Drop Inn and The Yorkshire Terrier Inn, and one, Mr. Foley's Cask Ale House, in Leeds. The Yorkshire Terrier was not acquired by Black Sheep Brewery when York Brewery was purchased out of administration in December 2018 leaving two premises in York, The Three-Legged Mare and The Last Drop Inn, and one in Leeds. York Brewery beers are however available in many other pubs throughout York and the wider Yorkshire area.
