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. As Bravo Summit Mosaic. Gold, with a soft haze. Messy, clingy, white film of head. Nice, vanilla sweet, creamy malts. Pink grapefruit and pineapple. Orange zest and juice. Taste is zesty, zingy bitter. Gives a sweetness on the lips. Spritzy mouthfeel. Finishes clean bitter, with a light, dry close. Fresh and zesty. Lots of flavour for the ABV.

Cask @ Old Gate, Hebden Bridge. Clear golden with a creamy head. Abundant with grapefruit in both aroma and taste, but no high citrus or sourness and very easy sipping for it. There’s peach in here too.

Cask. Gravity dispense. 41st Steel City Beer Festival. Deep copper colour. Light haze. Bubbly, off white head. Big, spicy, jammy, fruity hop. Sweet, granary malts. Pink grapefruit. Brûléed grapefruit. Some resinous notes. Smells great. Taste is soft, chewy sweet, with a light, resinous bitterness. Palate doesn’t quite match the aroma. Finishes fruity, softly resinous bitter. Smells fantastic, but tails off somewhat.
