Paul, who is still our Chairman, and in our eyes is warden of all things beer, founded the Brewery in 1992, fighting back against what he saw as a deluge of bland beer from mass corporations. The result was the creation of one of Britain’s favourite breweries and more than 100 jobs in the town of Masham.

Pathmaker will reach out to a wider drinking audience and tell the Black Sheep story in a modern and creative way. The beer is aimed at pubs and bars offering new and different beer brands to increasingly curious beer enthusiasts.

With its eye-catching hand drawn branding, Pathmaker is a 5.6% ABV pale ale, brewed with Chinook hops, with an adventurous malty mouth feel and a moreish, crisp bitter finish.

Lively yellow beer, thick white head. Light, citrusy aroma. taste is bitter lemon, dry hop, grass. It's nothing spectacular but it's dry, crisp and zesty and would be quite refreshing on a nice, hot day.

0.33 l can from Že v redu, Primož (It's alright, Primož), Ljubljana. Shared at a drinking session with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran in the summer of 2017. Thanks! Hazy golden, small to a medium off-white head. Moderately hoppy - citrus and grapefruit balanced with light grainy malt aromas. Light bitterness balanced with fruity sweetness. Light body, soft carbonation, light dry finish. A light pale ale, good aromas, nice finish.
