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.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Pours lively this. Hazed pale gold. Huge rocky head. Lovely sweetened grapefruit like hoppage here. Peachy and bright. Taste is light dry, with a nice punchy fruity bitterness. Light bitter finish. Shame about the condition of this. Well lively and possibly a bit buggy.

Cask at the Keans Head, Notts get together, 07/07/23. Rich amber with a decent off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is biscuit, caramel, bitter orange, grass, straw. Taste comprises melon, orange peel, caramel malts, grass, melon, papaya. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. It's okay but really expected more.

Now I could have added a clear, bright, in focus image of this bottle, but lately they’ve been getting swapped out for shitty low res pics lifted straight from Untapped, so, you know, I can’t be arsed with that. Anyhow. Bottle. Beer Cental Sheffield. Handsome enough clear dark brown with a thin dense beige sticky swede. Smells like. Rolo Easter egg. Taste is a little less sweet than you’d imagine. Dry and lightly fruity vinous character. Light body. Bit of sweetness to finish. Nice enough. Tad artificial.

Here you go. Put your shitty pic up. Bottle. Beer Central. Near on black. Head is bonkers. Thick dense lasting glossy tan affair. Big roasted malts. Bonfire toffee vibe. Rich and bitter. Pretty slick. Long bitter finish. It’s a stout from where I’m sat.

Now I could have added a clear, bright, in focus image of this bottle, but lately they’ve been getting swapped out for shitty low res pics lifted straight from Untapped, so, you know, I can’t be arsed with that. Anyhow. Clear dark chestnut brown. Soppy beige swede stays the course. Really don’t get the popcorn thing, not that I mind tbh. Chocolate malts. Some roast. Some dried vine fruit. Taste has an initial sweetness. Turns moderately bitter. Decent body at the ABV. Gets a touch of twang to finish. Nice. Bet it’s ace on cask.
