The Old Brewery at Tadcaster was established in 1758. It is Yorkshire’s oldest brewery. The little town of Tadcaster is home to three breweries. Samuel Smith’s is a small brewery producing less than 5% of the beer brewed in the town. 

The brewery operates in the region of 200 pubs. Many are small pubs situated in the post-industrial urban areas of the north of England. The pubs only stock Samuel Smith’s products. 

Samuel Smith’s grey Shire horses are stabled behind the Angel & White Horse, the pub next to the brewery.
