The Clark's Beer Vault back to main Clark's page Wakefield CAMRA Homepage
These beers have been brewed in the past by Clark's Brewery, but may be revived, although not necessarily at exactly the same strength. Light blue indicates an archived seasonal which may be revived from time to time, fuchsia a former special or occasional, light green brews were seasonals for 2004 as suggested by the staff at various Clark's depots around the region. Anything is possible in the future! Note that Classic Brunette after a promising start, has, in effect, bombed and as of July 2006 will no longer be brewed at all.
