Masham Brewery: The Home of Yorkshire Beer

Masham is a renowned brewery town in the traditional Yorkshire sense, with two exceptional Breweries crafting fantastic beer celebrated and savored worldwide. The Masham brewery story began nearly 200 years ago in 1827 when the Theakston Brewery was established in the basement of the Black Bull Hotel on Silver Street, a location that now houses a wine merchant and distillery. 

The beer became successful and Theakstons expanded to the site where they operate today, along with the newer Black Sheep Brewery, the wryly titled creation of one member of the Theakstons brothers in the early 1990s who sought to make beer his own way.

The two breweries now produce some of the most iconic beer in Yorkshire and have cemented this town’s links to fine ale and a good Yorkshire welcome.

The choice of pubs still open and thriving in the town is testament to the sense of hospitality still alive in Masham today.

Discover the rich history and legacy of Masham's breweries as you explore its flavourful traditions and the global fame of its exquisite brews.
