Just a few weeks after announcing that it was set to appoint administrators, Black Sheep Brewery has been sold to investor The Breal Group.
The new Black Sheep Brewing Company Ltd will trade as Black Sheep Brewery, and some 150 jobs will be protected.
“This marks the next chapter in the history of Black Sheep as we look to grow the business in a sustainable way,” said a company spokesperson. “Our team will continue to produce great beers from our landmark brewery in Masham.”
The deal comprises the brewery, its shop and visitor centre, and the brewer’s pub estate.
