The
Triton 
DRINKSThe
Triton has been serving
quality ales, wines and other cold drinks to weary travellers (it was
once a coaching inn on the main road to Hull, halfway between
Welton and South Cave)for around 200 years. In recent years the
choice has varied somewhat - we plan to extend the range and vary it to
cater for our customers.
Before reopening The Triton we carried out extensive research to ascertain what drinks our target clientelle preferred. Being free from a brewers tie enabled us to go to a variety of sources and we have now assembled a strong range of drinks - see our initial listing on the right. This will be extended steadilly, so if you have a favourite drink, why not drop an email to us to make a suggestion? Or just mention it to one of The Triton Team next time you pop in.
If you want to know any more about individual drinks, many of the names and logos on the right have links which will take you straight to the web site of the manufacturer or distributor.

DRAUGHT BEERS
COPPER DRAGON BREWERY's GOLDEN PIPPIN
COPPER DRAGON BREWERY's GOLDEN PIPPIN
A Great
Yorkshire Beer. The Copper Dragon Brewery at Skipton brew some
marvellous beers
- so we are now offering their Golden Pippin as our 'long cool light
blonde' and it seems to be going down very well.
This
is a light summery bitter brewed to a gravity of 3.7% abv
at York Brewery, often described as a
blonde beer.
Guzzler is a real Championship beer - the Winner of the Northern Gold
Medal in 2006 and 2007.

Run
by farmer Tom
Mellor, Wold Top Brewery is Yorkshire’s newest micro brewery and was
established in 2003. They produce award-winning beer from fine
ingredients using traditional brewing methods. Their Wold Top
Bitter is their flagship ale. It's an easy drinking session beer with
good head retention and a medium to light colour. Made from Maris
Otter and a small amount of Crystal malt together with Northdown
Hops, although they intend growing their own hops on their Wolds farm
shortly
to make the beer 100% locally produced. This is our teop selling beer -
its fruity, tasty, and quenching - a great session beer.
John Smiths Smooth
John
Smiths is the
UK's biggest selling bitter, thanks to several pretty excellent TV and
cinema advertising campaigns featuring comic Peter Kay and the
brewery's sponsorship of The Grand National. We sell a lot of it
and if you like a nice cool keg beer, there is probably none better. Guinness
The
authentic black
stuff - brewed in Dublin. Guinness might not be everyone's cup of tea,
but it is still the world's best selling stout, and has been since the
draught version became available in 1959. The taste is variously
descrbied as being of roasted unfermented barley and with a sharp
lactic flavour (a rival used to market itself as "milk stout"). The famous drink is now available in almost every country in the world and is certainly a dry stout, based on porter, which was first brewed in London in the 1700s - thats when The Triton first opened its doors to drinkers. Studies show that Guinness can be beneficial to the heart. Researchers found that antioxidant compounds in Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery wall
Carling
The UK's top selling lager and heavilly marketed to football supporters and in motor racing. It's crisp, its cool - a refreshing taste when properly cooled. Ours at The Triton is served 'extra cold' thanks to some special glycol based super-cooling plant in our cellar.
Carling C2 2% abv
C2 tastes just like regular 'full strength' Carling; if you come to the bar with a thirst and go straight onto the C2, you probably wouldn't notice that this is only half strength - just 2%. That must have implications for drivers, and a positive step towards responsible drinking.
We discontinued C2 in
early 2008 as the quality of the product was very variable.
Stella Artois 5.1% abv
Stella was named after the Christmas star by the brewery's founder, a Belgian called Sebastian Artois. It has always been a premium brand lager, with a strong alcoholic content and a distinctive taste. The 1306 date on some labels refers to the date of the first pub in Belgium - the Artois brewing business only began in the early 1700s which is about a generation before The Triton first opened its doors.
Coors Fine Lite 5.0% abv
For many years Coors have produced North America's leading beer and when it launched on draught in the UK they changed the name slightly to counter the traditional British antipathy towards 'lite' beers. We felt this premium brand would go down well with the Triton's premium clientelle, but sales so far have been disappointing.
Those who do drink Coors are rabid afficionados and we dare not take it off and replace it with something else, but we are looking around for an alternative.If YOU have any suggestions which lager we should offer, please don't hesitate tro recommend it to us.
CIDERS
The
ciders we sell in The Triton are the UK's top
selling brands, all made by Bulmers. Woodpecker is a sweet drink which
we sell by the bottle or on draught. Percy Bulmer began it all in 1887
on the advice of his mother who suggested he make a career in drink as
neither would ever go out of fashion. Bulmers stayed independent until
2003 when Scottish and Newcastle's 'Scottish Courage' brewing arm
bought them out.
-
The use of the English
bittersweet apples provides Woodpecker with a distinctive taste and
refreshing drinkability. A crisp semi-dry finish, amber hue with a
lightly sparking appearance and sweet fruity aroma and a slight
toffee-apple nose.
Sweet Cider

Strongbow Dry Cider
-
By far this is the UKs
leading brand of cider and is available the length and breadth of
Britain. Its a dry taste, but one that prides itself on being
refreshing. A glass of cider, served crisply cold in The
Triton offers outstanding taste and refreshment qualities. It is also a
perfect food accompaniment. Cider really is a versatile drink.
