York Hearts have teamed up with two great breweries to produce a new Hearts beer.
Tyne Bank in Newcastle and Brass Castle in Malton have made a collaboration brew at our request, called Tynecastle Hearty Ale, incorporating an amalgamation of their names and paying tribute to the famous Hearts home.
The idea was born when we spotted beers from the two breweries in quick succession.
The beer is a traditional bitter with an ABV of 4.4 per cent and 10p from every bottle or pint sold will go to the Foundation of Hearts. The recipe was devised by Tyne Bank and the beer was brewed at Brass Castle in Malton.
We would love to see the beer widely available in Yorkshire, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Any pubs wanting a cask or anyone wanting to buy bottles should email sales@brasscastlebrewery.co.uk

Here's what our chairman Ian Warner says: "We're delighted to have been able to work with two fantastic breweries to produce this new beer, and are very grateful to them for bringing the idea to fruition.
"Heart of Midlothian are rebuilding after a tumultuous few years, and a share of the proceeds from this beer will go to the Foundation of Hearts to help fund long-term fan ownership, which is hugely exciting for all supporters here in York and back in Edinburgh."
This is the second York Hearts beer, following the success in 2013 of Marooned, which commemorated the 2012 Scottish Cup win.
