What's a Clattering? | Great Newsome Brewery

We are excited to launch two brand new bottle beers inspired by a charming bird and the family farm on which we are based. The new beers Clattering and Bushel are the first new bottle beers that we’ve launched for over a year.
James Hodgson Head Brewer explained, “Coming up with new beer names is always very challenging but often we get inspiration from what we see around the brewery and on our farm. Clattering is the collective noun for a group of Jackdaws, a bird which we see more and more frequently, a real success story if you like. We couldn’t help but use this for the name of our new stout which sort of brings the beer to life.”
“Bushel is very much a farming term was used as a unit of measurement of crop yield. It has however been pretty much lost and I certainly have never heard it used. Symbolising a hope for the future harvest and good yields we thought it very appropriate for a crisp golden beer”, he added.

Clattering 4.4% abv- is an oatmeal stout, rich and dark with a roasted malty flavour. Bushel 4.1% abv – is an IPA brewed with Mosaic, Columbus and Celeia hops giving the beer an aroma of pineapple and citrus fruit flavour. Interestingly Bushel has had its gluten level reduced to less than 20 parts per million which means it could appeal to those trying to reduce gluten in their diet.
Both Clattering and Bushel are the latest by us to brew tasty well brewed beers inspired by our home in rural Yorkshire. For example, our original beer was named after the farming saying for quenching a thirst brought on by hard summer work. The farmer would “Sleck the dust” with a cool pint of light beer, leading to us brewing our popular blonde beer Sleck Dust. Want to know more about this story? Then click here.
