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.

Cask at the Pennine Inn. Clear golden body with a tight off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma of straw and grassy hops. Flavour of lightly roasted malt and earthy hops. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft carbonation prickle. A solid bitter. I’m surprised the previous scores aren’t a bit higher.
