The brewery is situated in Harrogate, the Victorian spa town famous for its healing waters, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Daleside Brewery was established in the mid-1980s and moved to the present larger premises in 1992. In 1995 and 1999 further premises expansions took place and in June 2000 brewing was halted whilst new equipment was installed and the whole brewery re-organised.
Craig Witty joined the Company in 1991 and is now Head Brewer at Daleside Brewery. Daleside‘s beers, both real cask ales and premium-bottled beers, have achieved wide recognition repeatedly winning local, regional, national and international awards.
Eric Lucas joined the Company in 1993 and is now the Managing Director. Daleside supplies cask ales to the free trade in the UK and bottled beers to all the leading UK supermarkets. In addition Daleside beers are now finding markets abroad in the USA, Canada, Australia, Denmark, Sweden and Spain.
The use of the best quality malts, whole-leaf hops, Daleside’s own yeast, Harrogate water, the adoption of the full traditional brewing process together with the pride and expertise of the family tradition secure the high quality of Daleside Brewery’s beers.
