Description
In the wide-skied arable lands of Holderness, down a tree-lined lane, lies Great Newsome Brewery. Here you will find beers for all seasons and all-year drinking.
We don’t try to reinvent the wheel. We keep it simple, using superb natural ingredients to make beer that you can sit back and enjoy, without even thinking about it. Which in our opinion is the sign of a very good pint indeed. It’s traditional craft beer with a modern twist.
Growing our own malting barley gave us a good start and we have since developed special strains of yeast as well as experimenting with homegrown hops, although they are difficult this far north.
Visiting our shop, you’ll be sure of a tail wagging welcome from our English Springer Spaniels, descendants of the late Jem, our mascot who is fondly remembered on bottle labels and draft beer bar tags.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Yay, an East Yorkshire rate! Deep ruby-black with a beige head and a light fizz - in very decent nick thanks. Coffee up front, with liquorice and blackcurrant coming through quite strongly. The roasted malt bitterness is perhaps a tad on the harsh side, but otherwise it's a decent stout with a drying finish.

York Beer Festival 2025, Beer#19. Clear golden with a small glow. Strength driven but transfers as a sugary-fruity full-bodied beer. Feels sticky-sweet in aftertaste without the same impact on texture.
