More About Sam Smiths India Ale

Brewed with well water (the original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use, with the hard well water being drawn from 85 feet underground); best malted barley and a generous amount of choicest aroma hops; fermented in ‘stone Yorkshire squares’ to create an exceptionally full-flavoured complex ale with an abundance of maltiness and fruity hop characte

Meet the Producer, Samuel Smith’s Brewery

Samuel Smith’s Brewery

Style: Brewery

Walking into a Samuel Smith’s pub can feel slightly like entering an alternative timeline. The branding looks untouched by modern design trends, mobile phones occasionally seem unwelcome and the beer arrives exactly as it has for generations.

Founded in 1758 in Tadcaster, Yorkshire, Samuel Smith’s remains one of Britain’s oldest independent breweries. Traditional brewing methods, Yorkshire squares and well water drawn from the original brewery site all remain central to production.

The range covers everything from classic bitters and stouts to fruit beers and stronger old ales. Oatmeal Stout remains one of the best-known examples, balancing roasted malt, coffee and chocolate notes with remarkable smoothness.

There is a distinctly old-school confidence to the beers. They rarely chase trends and generally seem unconcerned with whatever the wider craft beer industry happens to be obsessing over that week.

Love the pubs or argue endlessly about the house rules, Samuel Smith’s remains one of the most distinctive brewing institutions in Britain. And in a beer world increasingly full of breweries trying to stand out, that sort of individuality counts for quite a lot.
