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.

Handpull cask at the Geldart, Cambridge. Brown with indigo flecks through the translucency. Small but thick cream-coloured head and a fair bit of lacing. The smell is more like blackberry than liquorice: very fruity with notes of charcoal and burnt coffee grounds. Taste is bitter, with quite a lot of tar liquorice in the finish. Thinner body than I normally like for a stout, and the bitterness turns slightly astringent in the aftertaste. Not perfect but pretty damn good.

Bottle from Williams Farm Kitchen. Red-brown with a thick cream-coloured head. Rich chocolatey malt smell. Chocolate, lemon and blackberry flavour. Surprisingly good for a novelty-named beer, just a slight hint of minerals is the only thing that lets it down a touch.
