A well hopped, light golden session bitter with a distinctive, dry, refreshing taste enjoyed through a rich creamy head
Black Sheep Brewery
Paul Theakston, founder and Black Sheep, was born into a brewing dynasty. Paul's family and the T & R Theakston firm had been brewing in Masham for five generations before it was finally taken over by Scottish and Newcastle Breweries.
More than 20 years later, Black Sheep's approach has weathered the most tumultuous time in British brewing history.
The sixth generation of the Theakston family brewing heritage is now proudly part of story and true to its name, Black Sheep stands out from the crowd. From the beginning, we invested in traditional brewing equipment and only the very best raw materials; this ensured we could create something truly special

Black Sheep Pale Ale
Brand new for 2019, Black Sheep Pale Ale is a fresh, punchy and aromatic pint inspired by the modern beer movement whilst also staying true to our British and Yorkshire brewing heritage.
Pouring crystal clear and light straw colour, Black Sheep Pale Ale is a vibrantly fresh and punchy new world pale ale with a clean white head.
