The team here are celebrating after we won two awards in the North East division of an industry wide beer competition. Our blonde beer, Wold Gold, and our first lager, Landmark Lager both won awards at the first SIBA Regional Digital Beer Awards 2020. Wold Gold, 4.8% ABV won the gold award in the Premium Bitters (4.5 to 6.4%) category and gluten free Landmark Lager, 4.2% ABV won silver in the Lagers and Pilsners category in its first competition since we launched it earlier this year. Our Brewery Manager, Alex (pictured) is delighted with the awards: “Our team are committed to brewing great...

This weekend should have been the 26th consecutive year that we have opened the brewery garden for the National Garden Scheme charities. Whilst this isn't possible this year, the garden's looking so beautiful that we'd like to take you on a virtual tour, both with images and drone footage. At the moment the alliums are looking spectacular, splashes of purple all through the garden creating little pockets of colour everywhere you go. Each year we wait anxiously to see whether visitors will get to see the Laburnum tunnel in all its flowering glory. Some years the timing is spot on, sometimes...

Undeterred by the cancellation of this year's Sundown 60 sportive due to Covid-19, we have decided to host a virtual ride in aid of charity. Our virtual Wold Top Lockdown 60 ride replaces the popular Sundown 60 event that should have started and finished here at the brewery on 11th July.

What an odd month April was…. It’s passed very quickly (for us at least) and we can’t believe it’s almost mid May already….! It will be interesting to see what the next weeks bring, but for now, let us give you a little insight into lockdown life here at Wold Top.  The closure of pubs, restaurants and other hospitality outlets at the end of March has had a significant impact on our business (as I’m sure it has on many others) and we lost 40% of our trade overnight. This meant some pretty intense thinking and restructuring happened very quickly and...

Last night, we attended our first virtual awards ceremony; the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards (REYTA). These awards recognise the best and brightest in East Yorkshire's tourism related businesses and acknowledge the contribution businesses like ours make to the area’s visitor economy (under normal circumstances). Played out live on Facebook and YouTube and watched by hundreds of people, it was a brilliant event that was organised very well by tourism body, Visit Hull and East Yorkshire and hosted by broadcaster, Blair Jacobs. We were highly delighted to be announced as the winner of the  Remarkable Local Producer Award, beating stiff competition, that...
