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.

[September 2023] Near black with a frothy tan head and rum and raisin ice cream on the nose. Smooth and semi-creamy with a hit of rum up front, a hint of marzipan and a lovely roasted malt backbone before some dry bitterness finishes things off

Cask @ Guild Ale House, Preston. Black with a thick off-white creamy-frothy head. Aroma is strawberry z taste is a dark-malty chocolate infused strawberry - not particularly stout-like outside its texture. Quite rich.

hand-pulled half-pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 4th February 2024. Clear light golden body, snow white crown. Tropical fruits and a mini dankness. Not as 'sparkling' as I'd hoped for!

Halifax Beer Festival 2023. Wooden cask version with its ageing very evident. Has a sweetened dark malt character in both aroma and taste, although not the coffee notes as you might expect from the name.

Thanks Simon. Great chocolate coffee head. The beer is dry, mild smooth with a great creamy back. Roasted coffee and grain, bitter dry black coffee in the finish. Dry roasted back, nice.
