T&R Theakston will be at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show, which it has supported since 2004, following the family’s buy-back of the Masham brewery.

The brewery will be back in its usual spot on 5th Avenue, with the Theakston bar serving a selection of its legendary beers. These will include its new cask beer, Summit, specially brewed to be served extra cold.
As one of the last breweries in the country to have an in-house cooperage, it will also be hosting live demonstrations of the ancient art of barrel making.
Simon Theakston, joint managing director of Theakston Brewery, said: “As a proud Yorkshire brewery ourselves, we’re very pleased to be supporting the Great Yorkshire Show for another year running.
“Theakston has long been involved with the Yorkshire Agricultural Society and is proud to champion the agricultural sector, which is responsible for producing many of the high-quality ingredients that help to make our beers taste as good as they do.”
“We’re looking forward to what is sure to be another fantastic show, reconnecting visitors with their old favourites, introducing them to some exciting new products, and showcasing the craftsmanship of Euan, our in-house cooper, whose cask making demonstrations are always guaranteed crowd pleasers.”
