Welcome to Theakston Brewery
Home to the Legendary Old Peculier

Thank you for visiting us on our website, I trust you will enjoy all the information, news and events relating to our company and the beers we brew. The summer months are traditionally the busiest of the year not only in the brewery but also because of all the activity in which we are involved. We sponsor the Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in late July, now the world’s largest, we always have a stand at the Great Yorkshire Show and for the 46^th year we sponsor the Masham Steam Traction Engine Rally. This year in August we take our mobile bar down to Peterborough Beer Festival, where our Cooper will be demonstrating the ancient art of barrel making. We’ll be ready for a well earned pint after that! Why not come and join us or at our Visitor Centre in the brewery, you would be most welcome indeed!
