Yorkshire-based brewer, Little Valley, has announced the sale of its brand to fellow Yorkshire firm Great Newsome Brewery.
Little Valley based in Cragg Vale, West Yorkshire was set up in 2005 by Dutch master brewer Wim van der Spek and his English partner Sue Cooper. The firm quickly became known for a continental slant on its beers. The pair, who first met while cycling in South Asia and the Middle East, said they were “delighted” to be passing on the business to a fellow Yorkshire firm.
“As one of the very few organic beer producers in the UK, it’s great to know our legacy will continue with Great Newsome.” Figures released in April from the SIBA UK Brewery Tracker for the first quarter of the year showed that 38 breweries had closed across the country since the end of 2023. The total number of active brewers across the country now stands at 1,777. The North East region, which covers Yorkshire, saw the loss of five breweries, taking the total amount to 251.
