Brewed in Yorkshire

The last brewery in Shepley & Shelley, Seth Seniors ceased production in 1946 when it was taken over by Hammonds of Lockwood after 117 years of beer production in the valley.
More than 68 years on Small World Beers started production at Barncliffe Mills, a natural location for a brewery sitting in a valley famous for its spring water.
Lovingly crafted into the existing space, our purpose built brewery is a credit to the skills of many local tradesmen and small businesses in the Shelley and Huddersfield area. Many hours, days, weeks and sweat was poured into the old mill unit to prepare it for the fitting of the beautifully engineered Moeschle brewing vessels supplied and fitted from the Sheffield arm of the German company. We operate a 20 brewers barrel plant, have 2 fermenters and our temperature controlled cold room houses our 3 conditioning tanks.
