Yorkshire's oldest brewery - Est. 1758
Samuel Smith produces a wide variety of high-quality beers, made exclusively from authentic, natural ingredients.
The brewery still uses Yorkshire stone squares to ferment all of its ales and beers (except Sovereign and Extra Stout), and the same variety of yeast has been used since the 11th century.
Whole dried English hop varieties, such as Fuggles and Goldings, are used to add bitterness and aroma to Samuel Smith's traditional beers in the old boiling tanks.
Samuel Smith's uses oak barrels for all of its naturally conditioned beer. The barrels are manufactured and repaired at the Old Brewery by the brewery's full-time coopers.
The Old Brewery employs two full-time coopers who manufacture and repair all of Samuel Smith's oak barrels. Oak barrels are used for Old Brewery Bitter, which is handled by hand, and for maturing Yorkshire Stingo.
