This year's Winter Welcome Ale collectible label celebrates the centenary of the Flying Scotsman. The locomotive was built in Doncaster, South Yorkshire and entered service on February 24, 1923. The locomotive was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and was one of the most powerful locomotives of its time. In 1934 it recorded 100 mph: the first steam locomotive in the UK to reach that speed. The locomotive is now owned by the National Railway Museum in York, where it can sometimes be seen; however, it is still operational on special chartered trips that allow a few lucky travelers to travel by steam on this most famous locomotive. Raise a glass of Winter Welcome Ale to celebrate its centenary! This seasonal ale is a limited edition brewed for the short days and long nights of winter. The full body resulting from fermentation in 'stone Yorkshire squares' and the luxurious malt character, which will appeal to a wide range of drinkers, is balanced by full dry Fuggle and Golding hops, with nuances and complexities to behold before an open fire. .
Samuel Smith's Brewery has been brewing high quality organic craft ale, lager and fruit beers since 1758 in Tadcaster.
