What makes Black Sheep Ale distinctive?
Black Sheep Brewery was founded in 1992 by Paul Theakston using traditional Yorkshire square fermenters to make full-bodied, malty ales of genuine character. Black Sheep Ale is their flagship — a deep copper, malt-forward ale with toffee, dark fruit, and a distinctive nutty richness from the Yorkshire squares, finished with a clean, dry hop bitterness. One of Britain's most consistently excellent traditional ales. Available at Sainsbury's, Tesco, and most UK supermarkets.
