A Tour Round Wentworth Brewery

Wentworth Brewery's Fermentation Units

Our guest photographer Mr. Derick Toy was recently invited on a tour of Wentworth Brewery by the brewery's owner and managing director Mr. John Moorhouse. We reproduce here some of Derick's pictures which give an idea of some of the processes involved in producing the award-winning Wentworth beers. Our thanks to Derick and John for letting us use these on the site...

Introduction

Wentworth Brewery, viewed here from the nearby farm shop, is based in the old Wentworth Woodhouse power house which formerly housed the generators for the house. The brewery, which has a staff of 5, produces around 30 Barrels (or 2,800 pints!) of beer per week.

The brewery has a regular production of 8 different types of beer, including the best selling Wentworth Pale Ale.

The company's beers have won 16 Gold Medal Awards for Best Beer at CAMRA Beer Festivals in Leeds, Barnsley, Sheffield and Rotherham during the past 3 years. The company also produces bottled versions of its beers, some of which are exported to the USA.
