York Jambos brew a beer for Hearts’ 2012 Scottish Cup win
The York Hearts Supporters Club have brewed an ale called Marooned for their forthcoming Burns Supper.
The beer has a strength of 5.1% ABV and includes a New Zealand variety of hop called Dr Rudi – chosen by the club in honour of Rudi Skacel, who scored twice in the 5-1 win over Hibs at Hampden last May.

York Hearts chairman Ian Warner said: “We thought it would be a nice touch to have a special beer for the event – and it gave us a great opportunity to celebrate the cup win once more!”
Mr Neilson said: “As a lifelong Jambo it has been an honour and a pleasure to brew this beer. I’m sure it will be the perfect accompaniment to some haggis, neeps and tatties!”
