North Yorkshire brewery wins Morrisons listing

Directors and staff at a Yorkshire coast brewery are celebrating after winning a contract to supply Morrisons stores throughout Yorkshire.

Hunmanby based Wold Top Brewery has secured listings in 112 stores for its red beer, Headland Red and 21 stores for its Scarborough Fair IPA.

Headland Red, 4.3% ABV, is made from Wolds grown barley, dark crystal malt, Progress hops and the brewery's own chalk filtered water and has a mellow malty flavour.

Scarborough Fair IPA, 6% ABV, is a traditional, strong and well hopped beer that is brewed with a pale Wold grown malt base, a triple hop blend and maize for head retention.

Of the latest listing, brewery owner Tom Mellor said: "We're delighted that two of our best-selling beers are now available in Morrisons and are selling very well."

Farm based Wold Top Brewery is part of the Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) scheme for environmental initiatives and is also working closely with the RSPB to promote its birdlife. Its range of award winning ales is also available through the website, independent, family owned retailers, farm shops, delis, hotels, pubs and off licences throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire
