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. Orangey gold, with a soft haze. Film, and some bubbles of white head. Crisp, grapefruit hop. Creamy sorachi. Light herb. Cracker biscuit malts. Taste is crisp, pithy bitter. Lots of oily zest at the back of the mouth. Light bodied, and nicely crisp and clean. More pithy, zesty bitterness at the end. Another blinder from, in my opinion, one of the best brewers in the UK. I need a week away in Scarborough...

Cask gravity at The Barrel Drop Nottingham, Saturday 9th April 2016 with dad. Gold in colour with a good clarity, a few bubbles dance across the top of this gravity poured beer. The Cascade hops are there but rather shy, you get the sense that they have been used sparingly. Middling fruity golden, not an awful lot to shout about but it’s fine. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
