Description
Wold Top Brewery was founded in 2003 by arable farmers Tom and Gill Mellor. Based high on the Yorkshire Wolds where the hills roll down to the North Sea, ours is a family business that is run by the third and fourth generation Mellors and we pride ourselves on brewing superior quality beer from home grown barley and water that is gently filtered by the chalk of the Yorkshire Wolds and drawn from the farm's own borehole.

[i] [b] Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb 08’ [/i] [/b] This beer never really settled properly, initially it just had a slight haze but this worsened as we went down the cask, tasted absolutely fine but had to pull the plug on it. It poured a brown colour with some haze, sweetish fruit with a good dollop of caramel which took oot the fruity edge. I didn’t mind this and my next door neighbour Nick loved it, he was rather gutted when I told him that I pulled it owing to it’s condition starting to worsen.
