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.
