Brew York

Brew York is a craft brewery founded in 2016 by friends Wayne Smith and Lee Grabham, who met at a mutual friend's stag do and began home-brewing together. The brewery was created to build a brewery in York's bustling centre with a popular on-site Tap Room, a destination where visitors can enjoy beer next to the tanks it was brewed in. Brew York brews all its beer in York, some in its original city centre brewhouse and much of it at a production facility in Osbaldwick. Its beers are inspired by Yorkshire surroundings, new hops and ingredients, cocktails and desserts, and pop culture, films and music.

Brew York was founded in 2016 by friends Wayne Smith and Lee Grabham. The two met at a mutual friend's stag do and began home-brewing together after sharing their love and passion for craft beer, and Brew York was born not long after. Starting in 2016, as many other craft breweries were beginning their journey, creating Brew York was the realisation of a long-lived dream to build a brewery in York's bustling centre with a popular on-site Tap Room, creating a destination where it felt welcoming and inviting to enjoy the beer (and other drinks) right next to the tanks they were brewed in. Brew York brews all its beer in York, some in its original city centre brewhouse, and now a lot of the beer is brewed 10 minutes up the road in its state of the art production facility in Osbaldwick. Its approach to brewing has always been to produce the types of beers which the founders would love to drink in can, keg and cask. The brewery loves to experiment with ingredients and styles and usually has at least 20 different fresh beers available. Its beers are inspired by many different things: the rich and diverse surroundings of Yorkshire (Rhubarbra Streisand, Viking DNA and Dame Judi Quench to name a few), a new hop or ingredient the brewery wants to experiment with, a cocktail or dessert enjoyed over the weekend that it wants to translate into a beer, as well as finding inspiration in pop culture, films and music which it combines with a desire to create full-flavour and impactful brews. Brew York may well be well-known for its quirky and playful approach to brewing, but everything it does is done with passion and attention to detail.
