Yorkshire H'AKA
Theakston Yorkshire H’AKA is back in the squad!
Inspired by the passion, rivalry, and camaraderie of rugby’s greatest annual contest, Theakston Yorkshire H’AKA is a bold tribute to the Six Nations Championship.
Its character is built on ingredients sourced from all six participating nations — uniting flavours from across Europe into one unmistakably Yorkshire expression. Hops from France and Italy, malts from England, Ireland, and Scotland, plus a drop of Welsh honey come together in a beer that celebrates the spirit of the tournament in every pour.
The addition of spicy rye and natural honey nods to the intensity and flair of the game, while its deep amber-red hue mirrors the fierce battles played out on the pitch.
Rooted firmly in Yorkshire, the beer also takes inspiration from the legendary Yorkshire Haka — a spirited, unconventional show of local pride that perfectly captures the county’s love of rugby.
Brewed for fans, by fans, Theakston Yorkshire H’AKA is the perfect pint for every Six Nations moment — grab one at the bar and settle in for the match.
This robust amber ale packs a punch like the Scots and Irish. Carries a touch of French and Italian elegance. Shows Welsh sweetness. And delivers full English flavour in every sip.
A true scrum of international ingredients. Its amber-red colour shines like a floodlit stadium, while the aroma tackles the senses with spicy rye, honeyed warmth, and subtle cedar notes. The finish is smooth, balanced, and made for the next mouthful… and the next kick-off.
