A Truly Traditional Ale, available in cask and bottle. One of cricket’s most iconic characters, Yorkshire and England fast bowler Fred Trueman OBE, has been immortalised in a new real ale brewed by Skipton’s Copper Dragon. The Freddie Trueman Yorkshire Ale is being launched to coincide with the unveiling of a bronze statue of the cricketing legend created by Barnsley-based sculptor Graham Ibbeson. Freddie’s wife Veronica Trueman said: “Fred would be overjoyed that a real Yorkshire brewer is behind this. He loved his cricket and his beer as well as the wonderful scenery in this part of North Yorkshire where he lived out his final years.” Steve Taylor, MD of Copper Dragon, comments: “Freddie was a legendary Yorkshireman who spent many of his latter years in the Skipton area with Veronica and everyone at Copper Dragon is delighted that our newest ale carries his name. “It is a refreshing golden ale that brings back memories of cricketing summers and we are sure that Freddie would be suitably impressed when the first bottles land at Freddie’s tribute dinner and barrels hit the pubs and supermarket shelves,” added Steve.
