Of the win, brewery owner Tom Mellor said; “Thanks to VHEY and David Hockney, East Yorkshire’s profile has been raised significantly and we’re very proud to have won this award in such an important year for the Yorkshire Wolds.”

Established in 2003, farm based Wold Top Brewery brews traditional real ale from home and Wolds grown malting barley, the finest hops and pure, chalk-filtered Wolds water.
