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. Clear, pale amber. A few bubbles of white head. Nose has bright citrus. Orange and sweet lemon. Grainy malts. Some toffee apple in the background. Taste is mostly grainy sweet, with a gentle dryness. Light body. Very soft carbonation. A tad dull, really. Soft, spicy bitterness on the finish. Smells good, but a lack of condition let’s it down somewhat.

Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy very light tan head. The aroma is pure dandelion and burdock. Reminds me of my childhood! The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth rich light, fresh, red berry fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Taste has soft, juicy and zesty bitterness. Nicely balanced stickiness. Medium body with soft carbonation. Lingering, juicy bitterness, that just dries out a little on the close. Great stuff.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, deep orange. Film and a few bubbles of white head. Nose has soft peach and pulpy citrus over a pithy twang. Light on the malts, coming over sweet and cracker like. Taste follows suit, with a pithy, citrus bitterness, and light sweetness on the lips. Bright, zingy mouthfeel. Crisp, fine carbonation. Nelson hit on the end, with more zip and crispness. Smashable all day.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Pale, yellow gold. Light haze. Frothy, lasting, white head. Nose has wispy, creamy malts. Bright, citrus hop. Lots of lemon and lime. Some pulped orange. Some herbal, grassy notes. Clean and fresh. Taste has gentle, citrus oil bitterness. Definite dryness to it. Matches the clean aroma. Light body. Soft fizz. Finish gets a tad spicy, with plenty more of that citric bitterness. Thins out on the close, somewhat, but overall it’s another cracker.
