The Black Sheep Brewery plc was established in 1992 by Paul Theakston. Following a takeover in the late eighties of the family brewing business, T&R Theakston, Paul decided to go against the grain and start a new independent brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire – Black Sheep. The name, coined by Paul’s wife Sue, was a nod to Masham’s sheep trading heritage as well as tongue in cheek as Paul struck out on his own.
Black Sheep has grown strongly over the intervening years and established itself as one of the North of England and UK’s leading independent cask ale brewers with Black Sheep Best Bitter a leading nationally recognised cask beer, and Black Sheep Ale in bottle in the top 10 nationally by volume and value. In 2018 Black Sheep acquired York Brewery and their first pubs.
