Black Sheep

Situated at the gateway to Wensleydale, Masham is the home of the Black Sheep Brewery. We only brew Black Sheep beers from traditional high-quality raw materials:
Crystal clear dales water from our own well
Maris Otter malted barley for extra flavour
Some wheat to fortify our beers’ natural head
A little roasted malt for colour and flavour
Generous amounts of whole English hops to make the beer really refreshing.
