Wentworth Brewery is housed in what was the power house for the Wentworth Estate. Inside there was a steam engine generating DC current, backed-up by a huge bank of accumulators in the cellar. |

What makes Wentworth different from other local microbreweries is the amount ofbeer which goes out in bottle, not only under the brewery's own name to big supermarkets, but also custom beers with wacky names made for the Barnsley Beer Company, sold mainly in their Big in Booze and Rhythm 'n' Booze stores. Most local micros get their bottling done under contract, often by Hambleton but it's more than worthwhile for Wentworth to run their own bottling line. Up on the gantry are the bright beer tanks which feed the bottling system. |

This is Richard Hancock, the
brewer at Wentworth, who had met us when he was
working for David MacLaren at
Spire Brewery. The plant has a nominal capacity of 30 barrels but 26� barrels is often more realistic. |
