Re: York Brewery-Centurions Ghost
Not me, but I'd be interested if someone has! I had some on a brewery tour there a few years back, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Brewery: York Brewery Co Ltd (1996-present) in York, North Yorkshire, UK
Style: Strong Mild
ABV: 5.4%
Grainbill: Pale, Crystal Malt, Chocolate Malt, Roasted Barley
Early Hops: Challenger
Late Hops: Fuggles, Bramling Cross
Colour: dark ruby red
Yeast: York Brewery house yeast was originally an historic English ale strain from Northern England, which Steve Skews, former York brewer then founder of Le-Brewery in Normandy, France made into his own house strain. However, the new owners of York use standard dry yeast, probably S-04 or US-05 nowadays. I tried to culture the original strain from an old unfiltered Le-Brewery bottle, but failed.
