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 @ Harry’s Bar, Wakefield. Clear golden with a creamy head. It has a hoppy character, with some dryness to this, but it could be sessionable, and feels quite smooth in the palate.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Pale gold, with a soft haze. Film of white head. Nose definitely has a raspberry ripple ice cream thing going on. Some light, peachy hop notes. Some biscuit malts. Nailed on for style. Taste is light sweet, with a little zesty bitterness. Light body. Soft fizz. Loses the sweetness on the finish, turning zesty, citric bitter. Not entirely my cup of tea, but it’s a well made beer.

Gravity poured, third of a pint: 24th Aug 2016, Peterborough CAMRA beer festival. Red hue to the dark brown body, decent tanned head. The beers name certainly tells you what’s in the glass, but doesn’t warn you about how sweet it is. Rum and Raisin aroma and flavours ooze out of the brew and my sweet tooth liked the overly sweet taste, others may find it too much.

Cask @ Record Café, Bradford. Golden with a thick creamy head. On the verge of feeling thin, but not quite. It’s a surprisingly fruity ale for its strength, with a crispness. Hoppy in its nose.
