matone Posted May 6, 2023 Report Share Posted May 6, 2023 You may or may not have seen the news that Black Sheep Brewery are in trouble and appointing Administators ...a sad day for those who enjoy their product. The management say the best way to help is to have a pint (or more) of the company`s product ! I`m enjoying a bottle or two of Black Sheep right now and hope that we don`t see the demise of this Yorkshire icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm Theakstone's rather than Blacksheep. Both brewery's are in the village of Masham. Boring fact. The Blacksheep brewery was started by one of Theakstone's family who had fallen out with his siblings. ie the Blacksheep of the family and thus the name of his business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted May 10, 2023 Report Share Posted May 10, 2023 Don't see their beer down this far but hopefully a buyer can be found. Skinners Brewery down here in Cornwall went pop October last year, a very dark day. But another local brewery Goodh Brewing Co has bought them and working from the same premises brewing Betty Stoggs, Lushingtons etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
