The finest tasting organic beer direct from the UK
100% Organic Beer brewed in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
The BreweryThe North Yorkshire Brewing Company startedbrewing 100% organic beers at Pinchinthorpe Hallin 1990. When John (head brewer) and George,both directors, purchased the hall; very importantly,it came with the exclusive rights to spring waterfrom a spring that is known to have been in use formore than 1000 years. They then set aboutsourcing the very best organic ingredients with theidea of producing beers and lagers of the highestquality. The combination of spring water and qualityorganic ingredients made it possible to create awide variety of different flavours.
About Our BeerThe North Yorkshire Brewing Company producesover 20 organic cask and bottled ales. The keyingredient is spring water from a natural springsituated on our own land within the grounds of thehall. The area is within the North Yorkshire MoorsNational Park and the spring water has been in usefor over 1000 years.
The bottled beers have been bottle-conditioned andtherefore the beer is in contact with a greaterpercentage of yeast. This causes bottled beers andcask ales of the same type to have two entirelydifferent flavours.
All of our beers have a characteristic yeast flavour,not unlike some continental beers. The lightcoloured beers have a lager-like taste produced byusing pale ale malt and because they sit on a slightyeast bed in the bottle. Our own yeast gives thesebeers a special and distinctively refreshing taste.The dark coloured beers are more rounded inflavour because the yeast character has beenbalanced by the smooth taste produced by theaddition of chocolate malt.

The Brewing ProcessIngredients: Quality ingredients are paramount: we source the
very best organic malt and hops available. The Malt
is an old variety called Marris Otter – a dark
chocolate malt is used for the dark beers. The Hops
are varieties Goldings and Northdown. However, the
main ingredient which gives our beers their
distinctive flavour is our own spring water.
Mashing:The mashing process involves the crushed, melted
barley being added to the hot liquor (hot spring
water) gently paddled to extract maximum brewing
sugars.
Sparging:After a short stand the first wort run is transferred
to the copper dissolving vessel and it is then that
the sparging process begins. Hot liquor is sprayed
over the mash to extract the sugars.
Boiling & Hops:When boiling point is reached, a sample is taken to
check the gravity which will determine the final
strength of the beers. Hops are added at this stage
to bring about bitterness and aroma to the beer.
Chilling & Transfer:After 1 hour of boiling the wort is transferred to the
fermenting vessel via our wort cooler which cools
the beer from 1000C to 219C for fermentation
Yeast:Yeast is then added when the fermenting vessel is
full. This converts the brewing sugars to carbon
dioxide and alcohol. On the 2nd day the yeast is
collected from the top of the fermenting beer and is
stored for use in future fermentation. After 3 days
the beer is cooled for a further 2 days before
casking up.
Transfer to Holding Vessel:The beer is filled into bottles or casks straight from
the fermentation vessel. The Casks can be either 9,
11 or 18 gallons.
