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.

[Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A glossy pitch black pour with a thin beige head; aroma of drinking chocolate with a hint of orange; smooth and silky drinking chocolate taste, with a dry grainy body and some orange; then a long dry finish. Rather good.
