T&R Theakston will take on the running of the main bar at the Great Yorkshire Show in July, naming it the Great Yorkshire Inn.
Simon Theakston. “We’re looking forward to what is sure to be another wonderful show.”
It will serve a selection of Theakston’s beers and will also stock a selection of the brewer’s merchandise.
As one of the last breweries in the country to have an in-house cooperage, and recently working with journeyman cooper Euan Findlay to launch Findlay’s Cooperage, the brewery will also be performing live demonstrations of the ancient art of barrel making.
Simon Theakston, chairman of Theakston Brewery, has been closely involved with the Yorkshire Agricultural Society — organiser of the show — since 1983, having taken on stewardship, trustee, board, chairman, and presidents roles in that time.
He said: “Having been long-standing supporters of the show over many years, we’re thrilled to be bringing the Great Yorkshire Inn to the Great Yorkshire Show and continuing our support for the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, widely acclaimed to be organisers of the greatest agricultural show in the country.
“Throughout our almost two centuries of business, we’ve always been incredibly proud of our Yorkshire roots and brewing heritage, working hand in hand with farmers from across Yorkshire and the north of England to ensure only the finest ingredients go into making our range of beers.
“It’s also a pleasure to come together with similarly like-minded businesses to celebrate the fantastic quality produce grown and made here in our heartland. We’re looking forward to what is sure to be another wonderful show.”
