Cropton Brewery

Beers & Spirits : Beers : British Beer : Cropton Brewery

Beer has been brewed in Cropton since 1613. The early brews were illegal, and any wrong do-ers were sent to York Gaol. It's likely that the local women helped in the production of the earlier beers, and the 'Ale Wives' as they were known, were often cursed if they produced a bad brew.
All the Beers are Bottle Conditioned.
