Black Sheep Brewery
The proverbial black sheep of a group is a person who stands out from the homogeneous mass of others. This difference is usually viewed as negative and non-conformist and makes the black sheep feel like an outsider. In addition to the idiom, there are also actual black sheep, i.e. goat-like mammals with dark fur instead of the usual light, and a British brewery that bears this name. We would like to introduce the latter to you at this point.
Someone who set out to do his own thing
If you take it very seriously, the history of the Black Sheep Brewery begins not only when it was founded in 1992, but 169 years earlier. It was at this point that the Theakston family brewery was founded. Head of today's Black Sheep Brewery Paul Theakston inherited his family's brewery in 1969 and ran the company for several years. When Theakston Brewery is about to be sold to a large corporation, Paul vetoes it. He is outvoted and decides to leave his family's business and sell his shares in the company. A few wild years follow as Paul gets over the loss of the family brewery and makes plans for his own brewery. In 1991 the time had come: Paul and his wife Sue bought an old malthouse in Masham. The brewing equipment that Paul pieced together from disused breweries is still used today. The first beer left the brewery in 1992 and the name of the company was also quickly found: Because Paul turned his back on his family business, he was considered the unofficial black sheep among his relatives. His wife recognized the blessing in disguise and named the brewery Black Sheep.
Independent and unstoppable
Paul and his team's motto is that the beer can only be as good as the work, dedication and raw materials that you put into it. According to this motto, the brewers only use hand-picked ingredients and the crystal-clear water from their home in New Yorkshire, creating an eclectic bouquet of British classics and modern styles of the craft beer scene. They share their joy of brewing with curious visitors: everyone can get their own idea of how much the team with the horned, black sheep in the logo enjoys brewing in the visitor center and on tours through the brewery. Today, Paul and his sons Jo and Rob are at the helm of the Black Sheep Brewery and are forming new family traditions with them. And you can taste their creations here with us!
