Black Sheep Brewery

[River Don]

The Black Sheep Brewery up in Masham is fighting for its life apparently.

I've just been in Sainsbury's and it's still available, 4 bottles for the price of 3. I've bought the amber ale which isn't the world's greatest beer but it's decent enough. I'm not a stout drinker but that's available and it'll be better than the mass produced big brand Guiness.

Christmas is the crucial time for brewers, so perhaps consider getting some in this year, eh? There are as many as 60 jobs depending on it.

I’ll do my bit.

Black Sheep is OK bottled but it's like nectar on draught in the Dales.

Yes Black Sheep is better on draught. They also do that Riggwelter which has a decent reputation.

It's a strong brand and it's a brand I strongly associate with Yorkshire. It'd be a shame to see it go.
