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.

Bottle at Auntie Sue's on 15th November 2025. Obtained from my local Morrison's. Pale golden body, clean and clear, fast fading white wisp on top. Slight citrus nose and taste, nothing wintery about it in my opinion, all a bit subtle and thin.
