Produced mainly from Yorkshire ingredients, our range includes award winning Wold Top bitter, Falling Stone bitter and Wolds Way pale ale plus Wold Gold and Mars Magic. We also produce seasonal ales and bespoke beers for local events. Wold Top created a unique festival beer in 2007 which was a resounding success with all festival goers and ran out twice in the late night festival bar. This year, the festival beer will be back with a vengeance and to celebrate it, the festival will have its very own bar at the Festival Village in the Wold Top Performance Marquee.
