Daleside Brewery


Daleside is an independent brewery founded in 1988 in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.

History

Daleside Brewery was established in the mid 1980s in Harrogate. It moved to Starbeck in 1992 and went through periods of enlargement up until 1999. The company was founded by Bill Witty and in 1991, his son, Craig Witty became head brewer. Craig took over running the company when his father died in 2007 and continues to be the driving force of this very popular micro brewery.
It has won numerous awards for its ales, including its Morocco Ale. The 17th-century recipe for this ale, which had been brewed especially for Charles II of England and named after his wife, Catherine Braganza, who was described as being Moorish, was rediscovered in the early 1990s after being lost and was given to Daleside under special licence. Morocco Ale is specially brewed for Levens Hall in Cumbria, who are the owners of the secret recipe.
