THE team at a Yorkshire coast brewery are celebrating after a double contract win with two of the Big Four supermarkets.

Wold Newton-based Wold Top Brewery has secured a deal to one of its gluten free beers to 400 Morrisons stores nationwide and 30 Tesco stores throughout Yorkshire.

The family run business, which began its farm diversification brewery project in 2003, won the listings for its award winning beer, Against the Grain, which is made from lager and maize malts, hops and yeast.

The product won a silver award at the SIBA regional keg awards 2017 and its gluten content is certified to be below the required Codex standard of 20 parts per million.

Of the listings, brewery manager Alex Balchin said: “We’re delighted that one of our best-selling gluten free beers is now available in Morrisons and Tesco and is selling very well.

“We have seen big growth in sales of our gluten free beers as the number of people avoiding gluten for dietary or medical reasons has risen.”

Wold Top’s Scarborough Fair IPA and Marmalade Porter are also gluten free.

Wold Top Brewery, created by the Mellor family on their farm at Hunmanby Grange, brews 26,000 litres of beer a week in a bespoke brew plan. They use home grown barley and water from the farm’s borehole to produce award-winning beers.

The Mellor family have farmed 600 acres high on the Wolds for generations.

The brewery venture is this month celebrating its 15th anniversary.

Having brewed more than 25 million pints over the last 15 years, the brewery will launch a limited edition cask beer named ‘15’ to coincide with the anniversary.
