Hamelsworde Brewery
Brainchild of enthusiastic home brewer Dan Jones who had been a keen home brewer for 15 years, progressing from kits, to partial mash and eventually on to whole grain brewing. Beers were made in a converted garage using a 50 litre boiler but a new one barrel brewery was installed at the Hamelsworde Brewery & Tap 41B West Street, Kirkby Road Hemsworth WF9 4BA.
