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 @ Salopian, the pub. Dark pour, off-white head. Aroma is sweet with mild toffee and chocolate shades. Continues to taste, light and silky on the palate with just enough chocolate and toffee emerging, not overly sweet thankfully. Decent overall.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Moderate haze on a deep amber gold. Thick and firm just off white foam. Looks well. Nose has sweet biscuit malt. Touch of spice. Juicy Fruit gum. Sweet berry fruit. Some minty herb. Taste is pretty sweet first off, with a dank and sappy bitterness. Super slick and slightly oily mouthfeel with soft carbonation. This is tasty gear. Slick and fruity bitterness to finish. I can fully imagine dropping on this on cask and getting truly wankered off it.

Cast at Alexandra, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head and good lacing. There’s hints of roast malts and molasses in the aroma, but they’re only vague. In the mouth it’s slightly sweet and a tad watery. Plenty of chocolate but the orange (although there) is in much shorter supply. Caramel and coca are to hand as well, all leading to a fairly sweet finish. Reasonable, but doesn’t have much porter characteristic.

Bottle. Beer Central Sheffield. Light haze on a medium gold. Fluffy lasting white foam. Nose has clean dry malt. Floral hop errs toward lavender and such. Some citrus pith and peel. Taste is clean pithy bitter. Refreshing on the palate with some dryness. Soft brisk carbonation. Rising bitterness to finish. Loads of flavour at the ABV.
