Ainsty Ales Brewery & Taproom was founded by York born & bred Andy Herrington to provide a distinctive range of craft beers and ales, all produced in the 'York & Ainsty Wapentake' a once self-governing area dating back to the Middle Ages, where the brewery gets its name.

The ethos of the brewery is simple; to provide great tasting experiences for our customers and to support local businesses and charities along the way. We do this while celebrating our roots in the vibrant and fantastic City of York.

We love to collaborate locally whatever brand or organisations you are, if you feel the same please get in touch! We can offer our brewery expertise to develop a unique beer for an event, launch a product or bring Food & Drink businesses together!
