 The beautiful Yorkshire Dales town of Masham is home of the famous Theakstons Brewery one of the proudest family breweries in Yorkshire. With its 180 year history the Brewery is definitely worth a visit. Established in 1827 by Robert Theakston who began brewing in the Black Bull, the original Masham Inn, before his son Thomas built the present brewery in 1875. The traditional Victorian brewhouse is still in operation today brewing the famous beers including the legendary Old Peculier. Also of interest is the working cooperage - visitors can watch the Theakston Cooper crafting the traditional wooden casks from a viewing window in the Heritage Centre; a rare sight as he is one of only two craft coopers in the brewing industry today. Wooden casks are still used to supply local pubs with Old Peculier. You don’t have to search far to find the Brewery in Masham, the aroma of brewing beer reaches you in and around the Marketplace, to let any visitor know which direction the Brewery lies. Today the Brewery is once again family owned and aids the local community in a wide range of continuous charitable events, besides providing employment for many residents in the Masham area.
