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.

Clear, red-brown beer, lovely beige head soon things to a film. Smells malty with a little dried fruit. Flavour has aniseed, chocolate, dried fruit, a little sweet malt. Decent body, nice sweet flavour and just a little boozy warmth. Not bad at all.

[50cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell.] A bright pale amber pour with no head and gentle carbonation; malty aroma with a little citrus; sharp herbal bitterness with some nettle and burdock and some caramel malts; then more assertive herbal hops to finish. A pleasant bitter.

Bottle at home, thanks to Dave over the road, 26/05/23. Chestnut brown with a decent beige cap. Nose is biscuit, toffee, dried fruit rinds, dark malts. Taste comprises brown bread, grains, biscuit, toffee, dates, fruit cake mix. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad if perhaps lacking some depth to the flavour.
