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 Ale Wagon, Leicester. Light to mid-gold with a medium-sized off-white head. Honey, grass, hay, bubblegum on the nose. Sweet taste with caramel, more bubblegum. Bittering hops engulf the finish. Soft body and carbonation. A little bit off-kilter but by no means a bad beer.

Cask at Birmingham Airport JDW. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt and yeast. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, light, slightly watery, herbal, nutty, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with an off-white head and a light carbonation. Brown bread, raisins and caramel. Quite a lot of caramel actually, making it a little slimy in the mouth. Full bodied though. Twiggy moderately bitter finish. A bog standard bitter, but glad to get another East Yorkshire rate.

On cask at Curfew Bar, Berwick - Deep red-brown body, thick white top. Lots of nuts, caramel and dark chocolate on the nose, same again with the taste with the sharp hops coming through to clean things up. Good one.
