Yorkshire Brewhouse is a craft brewery based in Hull, Yorkshire, England. Established in 2017 by Jon Constable and Simon Cooke.[1] The brewery has developed a strong reputation for producing high-quality real ales and craft beers.[2][3] The company’s focus on traditional brewing methods, combined with a modern approach to branding and innovation, has enabled it to make a significant impact on the local and wider brewing industry.[4]
History
[edit]Yorkshire Brewhouse was founded during Hull’s year as the UK City of Culture in 2017.[5] Co-founders Jon Constable and Simon Cooke started the brewery after coming up with the idea during a Hull FC rugby match.[2] They initially purchased a 200-litre brew kit, later upscaling to a 500-litre kit to meet growing demand.[3] The brewery’s early offerings, such as "Ey Up" and "Reet," were designed to highlight the region’s distinctive dialect and character.[6] From its base on Goulton Street, Hull, Yorkshire Brewhouse quickly became known for its quality ales, brewed in small batches with a focus on local ingredients and traditional brewing methods.[7] Yorkshire Brewhouse has since made its roots in Hull clear, with many of its beers named in tribute to local sports teams and culture, such as "Faithful," "Red Robin," and "1904," the latter commemorating the founding of Hull City Football Club.[8]
Philosophy
[edit]The brewery's philosophy revolves around a commitment to both quality and locality.[2] Yorkshire Brewhouse emphasizes the use of traditional brewing techniques while introducing modern flavors and branding.[4] The names of its beers, such as "Reet" and "Ey Up," reflect the local dialect and cultural pride, aligning the brewery closely with its Yorkshire roots.[6] Sustainability is also a key focus, with an emphasis on sourcing ingredients locally where possible.[4] This blend of tradition and innovation has been instrumental in the brewery’s success.[9]
