Now Viewing: Samuel Smith Old Brewery
Yorkshire's oldest brewery at Tadcaster, producing a wide variety of traditional ales, including organic beer and lager. In July of 1994 I visited The Old Brewery - Tadcaster, where they brew Samuel Smith's beers. Tadcaster is a town southwest of York, and is the home of three breweries (John Smith's Magnet Brewery [Courage] and a small Bass brewery are the other two). Judging from the streetside exterior, shown here, you would never guess that this is a brewery, especially as traditionally-minded a brewery as the one at which they make Samuel Smith's. In fact, we drove past the brewery three times and if I hadn't stopped to take a picture of John Smith's Magnet Brewery down the street, I may have never noticed that the buildings we were seeking were right in front of us. Built in 1758, The Old Brewery -Tadcaster is the oldest surviving brewery in Yorkshire and one of the oldest in all of England. Here they make probably the widest ranges of beers of any English brewery.
