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. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Gold, with a soft haze. Bubbly, off white head. Nose has jammy, stone fruit hop. Some jammy malts. Smells sticky! Little earthiness to the rear. Taste is sweet, with a moderate, tangy bitterness. Light to medium body. A touch sticky. Light bitter finish. Decent, but too sweet, overall, for me.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Thin, blotchy, lacing, white head. Nose has huge, ripe peach and mango. Some fusty, ripe, spicy orange. Notes of honeysuckle flower. Some sweet, wheaty malts. Some toffee in the background. Smells great. Taste has an initial, fruity, pulpy sweetness, that turns light, zesty bitter. Very clean mouthfeel. Good pop of citrusy zing. Zingy, zesty bitter finish. Dries out at the end very nicely. Great stuff.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, orange gold. Film of clingy, white head. Nose has citrus rind. Peach stone. Honeydew melon. Hints of ripe, red berry. Hints of earthy pine in the background. The hops in this have even well and truly wrung out. Under that some pale, yeasty, bready malts. Stunning aroma for a 3.8% beer. Taste is light, citrusy, pithy bitter. Clean, yeasty sweetness. Dries out nicely. Crisp, light mouthfeel. Carbonation is spot on. Light, citrus bitter finish. Wow.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Thin, dense, messy, lasting, white head. Nose has orange zest. Lime zest. Notes of barely ripe strawberry. Bit of a white fruit tang. Some peach stone. Clean and bright. Taste is tangy, citric bitter. Oily, hop greasy mouthfeel. Smooth fizz. Long, citric, tangy bitter finish. Wow. Bitter as you like, but just enough juiciness to carry it through. I wish I wasn’t the only one rating these beers.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, pale gold. Thin, messy, sticky white head. Nose is fusty, old, malty and slightly vinegary. There’s juicy hop in there, and I’ve no doubt this was a good beer, but the condition is way off now. I’m thinking maybe North Riding and Five Towns use the same people to bottle their beers...
