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-conditioned at The Berkeley (JDW), Bristol 14 February 2022. Deep brown in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Hedgerow fruit character with some plummy sweetness, a faint hint of leafy hop, brown sugar and chocolate sweetness, bready malts leading to a gentle finish. Good.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a dark reddish brown with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma plus hints of toffee and bread rolls. Plums and dark fruits strike first in the mouth, where the texture is sweet and creamy. Nuts and liquorice come through later, and there is an underlying vague hoppiness. Finish is quite dry. A good solid mild.

Handpull cask at Fanny's Ale House, Saltaire. Pours light to mid-golden with a creamy off-white head. Light astringency and some irchard/citrus fruit in the aroma. Sweet taste with a little touch of sulphurous bitterness lingering in the finish. Kind of a dull beer unfortunately.
