About
The Jolly Boys' Brewery is based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK. We are four friends who brew beautiful ales with integrity and grace.

A story of warmth, banter, integrity and grace. The Jolly Boys Brewery was established in the snug of a Scarborough pub in 2014. It was more than a distraction, reverie or unobtainable dream.

The four friends realised that this was something they wanted to puruse. They savoured this thinking time and punctuated it with laughter, jocularity, brotherhood and slience – that comfortable silence where you shake your head and smile. And they never want it to end.

The Jolly Boys’ have spent their working lives contributing via their day jobs to the support of others in society. This moral drive is important to them. Couple this with a love of beer, respect for the community and pride doing a good job, the boys made a life-changing decision: they were going to brew beer.

What more honorable and worthwhile calling could there be?

Third, on cask at Jolly Tap in Wakefield. Clingy lacing from a film-type layer, clear golden body. Moderate smell of ripe citrus. Blended taste profile of subdued orange and mid-sweet pale malts. Hints of leafy hop bitterness towards the ending. Quite alright. (04.07.2019).

Cask @ White Swan, Doncaster. Clear blonde with a head. It's a hoppy ale with a mild maltiness, although slightly dense tasting for a session ale.
