Brewtown Tours Review (Malton & Pickering April 2017)
Towards the back end of 2016 Brewtown Tours was launched in York, the brainchild of Mark Stredwick who had recently returned to Yorkshire from Australia with an idea of multiple brewery tours which was inspired by his time there and in America. Finding a wealth of quality local breweries he decided the best way to explore what they had to offer was by creating a three brewery tour with Mark himself guiding you between them in his minibus. It began with two separate tours which took in The Hop Studio, Half Moon, Ainsty Ales, Rudgate, Yorkshire Heart and Brew York. Followed shortly by a Leeds Craft tour to North Brewing Co., Northern Monk Brew Co. and The Brewery Tap, then just recently the tour which we partook in up to Malton and Pickering with Bad Seed, Breworks at The Black Swan and Brass Castle. With each tour being just £55pp Mark drives you to the locations and the breweries give a full tour with plenty of their beer to sample all done in a round trip leaving from the York Tap.
For us it was a wonderful opportunity to get out of York to the more rural areas without having to worry about transport. With a full bus and entertaining conversation from Mark we were very well looked after and we were out for nearly 7 hours, the tours closer to home are usually more around the 5 hour mark, but it did mean that we didn’t feel rushed at any point and the planning with the breweries was very well orchestrated.
Our first stop was Bad Seed and we were given a very enthusiastic introduction to the world of brewing from Chris at their small industrial estate unit with four very varied KeyKeg beers to try. We had Session IPA a sharp and bitter dry fruity IPA which was very good, Mojito Lime Gose a refreshing mouth-watering sour, Jasmine Ice Tea Pale which was a little floral but nice and clean and fresh, and finally Descent into Madness which was a little unusual for a Stout being served on keykeg, it was a bit more like a roasty black lager but still pretty good.
After that it was on up to Pickering to visit Breworks, a very small Pico-brewery which was housed in an old washhouse at The Black Swan. Despite its size Tristan was turning out some very good standard ales catering for the locals, with a few more special brews in the pipeline. The lager was particularly fine and the Istanbul Pale Ale very drinkable, but it was the Coal Porter which was truly superb. Not only would I say it was my favourite of the whole day it was one of the best Porters I’ve tasted in a long, long time, well worth finding and trying! With plenty of brewing experience after the family had run one of the only craft breweries in Turkey before returning to the UK I’m sure it won’t be long before they’re expanding. The Black Swan was a lovely traditional country pub but it was their hidden cocktail lounge to the rear called Whistlers which was an unexpected delight. We were even treated to some very fine nibbles to go with the surroundings. It was another entertaining and informative stop, a brewpub which was very different from Bad Seed with an interesting story to tell.
Our final stop was back in Malton at Brass Castle, who have a similar set up to Bad Seed; it was here that we were given a tour that was a bit more focused on styles of beer and Bass Castle’s niche of providing vegan friendly and gluten free beer. It was also a great pleasure to spend some time in their wonderful new tap room which is a glory of upcycling to behold. More samples of their beers where provided of course, firstly their Helles (which I’m attempting to homebrew a clone of myself at the moment), Heretic which is their saffron infused Belgian Ale and Enzed Red which was probably my least favourite of the tour but still a nice enough beer. If you’re ever up in Malton then a trip to the Tap Room is highly recommended.
All in all we had a very fun and informative day out with a good group of people, it was well organised and quite a unique opportunity to visit three breweries in one day, one of which isn’t usually open to the public. I’d highly recommend it if you’re even vaguely interested in beer and with a total of four separate tours offered by Brewtown there’s plenty of choice to explore the craft breweries which our region has to offer.
