The New Inn is the home of Cropton Brewery.

Perched on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, Cropton Brewery has been producing award-winning ales for over 25 years, although the tiny village has a brewing tradition that can be traced back to 1613.

More recently the brewery has undergone a large expansion to ensure you are kept topped up with your traditional favourites such as Monkmans Slaughter and Blackout for many more years to come.

We also produce beers with a more modern edge and a true Lager from Yorkshire, while continuing the core principals that Cropton Brewery was founded on.

The Brewery

Cropton Brewery

In 1984, the ancient craft of brewing returned to the village when Cropton Brewery was established in the cellars of the New Inn. Customers enjoyed the first brew of ‘Two Pints’ to such an extent that extra beer was produced to supply pubs and bars further afield.

In 1994, the brewery was built at ‘Woolcroft’, the farmland behind the New Inn. Within a year production had doubled. The same year saw the introduction of their first bottle-conditioned beer.

In he ensuing years the brewery has gone from strength to strength and is one of North Yorkshires best kept secrets. It has recently undergone a large expansion to make sure you are kept topped up with your favourites such as Monkmans Slaughter and Blackout for years to come.
