About
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.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours clear, red-brown with a small, foamy tan head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of toasted bread, some whole grains, a little earth, leaf, dried berries. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more dry, toasted malts, earth, a little English yeast, hint of dry toffee. Tasty stuff overall.

Bottle from Tesco Supermarket, Salford. Very dark, quite active out of the its container so quite a frothy head. Understated as an Black IPA, some fruit available, remains pleasant though.
