Description
We’re a friendly bunch of Yorkshire folk with a passion for all things ale. Since 2015, we’ve been driven by a passion for innovating ales, while sticking to the traditional methods and high quality that you know and love.

The North Riding Brewery is based in the village of Snainton, just outside the seaside town of Scarborough, Yorkshire. Every day we’re blessed with chocolate box views of God’s own county and refreshing sea air. You could say there’s a little taste of Yorkshire in every brew.

Our production process is simple. We currently brew three times a week in our microbrewery, focusing on hop-forward modern ales with the finest ingredients.

Our mission is to delight your taste buds with a little love from Yorkshire. We’ll drink to that.

First brewed during March 2015 using a 10BBL plant. Initially it was based at the Betton Business Park, East Ayton, Scarborough. It is a sister brewery to North Riding Brewpub. In Summer 2019 the brewery relocated to their current location.

The majority of the output now comes from East Ayton but the brewpub also continues to operate, primarily for small batch beers sold at the pub, test brews and the occasional festival special.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Black with not much of a head. Light hazelnut evident in both aroma and taste, but being mild light is very much expected. Slightly sticky texture.

Cask @ Victorian Craft Beer Cafe, Halifax. Boozy nose, dark malty with some sweet stout taste hiding the aforementioned in aroma. Still strong though with mild coconut notes.

Bottle. Beer Central. This is already on here cunningly disguised as US Session IPA Chinook Simcoe. Very lean and clean hoppy pow wow it is.

Hand-pulled half-pint at the Pheasant Inn and Brewhouse on 27th October 2024. Black with a tanned affair on top. Really nutty and chocolatey from start to finish. Nice body feel and a really well made Porter.

Cask-conditioned at the Rook & Gaskill, York 19/9/2024. Near black in colour, with a tight, beige, head. Plenty of creaminess and sweet milk chocolate, before some raw ethanol that was pure Baileys. Finish was toasty. A beer that captured both the pros and cons of Baileys Irish Cream.

Deep dark brown, near black, with a frothy beige head and a nutty aroma. Has sweet chocolate malt up front before your walnuts cut in with their nutty edge, roasted malt underlying everything before a dry, slightly bitter finish
