Beer was the toast of choice in Masham when celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Not because the folks of Masham don't like a fine champagne but because they had their very own 'Royal Salute'.


Royal Salute is a full-bodied pale ale, which has been brewed specially by Theakstons to celebrate Her Majesty's sixty years on the throne. Its launch also coincides with the brewery celebrating its 185th anniversary and residents were invited along to take part in the celebrations over the Jubilee weekend with a glass on the house.


If you want to try their latest offering as well as sample some of their more established favourites then pop along to The Black Bull in Paradise - the cosy bar at their Masham visitor centre - and enjoy a tipple or two. The visitor centre also runs daily tours.
