Description
In 1992, Paul Theakston took a daring leap into the unknown. As a fifth generation brewer of his family company, he chose to leave T&R Theakstons following its sale to a national brewery. Instead, he chose to champion independent brewing in Yorkshire and built his own brewery in the very same town, Masham. The brewhouse contains a mixture of tradition and innovation, using the Yorkshire Square Fermentation system which we hold dearly. Our original brewhouse was built from reclaimed equipment which we still use to this day.

Came here for the name. Nice place, good cask choice (even with 3 Timmy's taps). Beer has a good cause, despite being a Black Sheep. Served well, but Black Sheep...

500ml bottle from Mainsgill Farm - clear gold body with no head but lots of fizz. Crisp apples in the nose, sharp and fruity in the taste. Refreshing apple fizz.

Rocky off white head on dark chestnut coloured body. Red berry, toffee & liquorice aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a dry clean back. Toffee, chocolate, malt & berry tastes with big bitter finish. Excellent Yawkshire Ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol October 2023. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Citrus hops, some tangerine and apricot fruit character, grainy malts, leading to a dryish finish. Good.
