## History[edit]

In 2020, in order to meet growing demand both domestically and internationally, Brew York expanded their portfolio with the acquisition of a 13,000 sq ft unit in Osbaldwick, York. This move not only helped to create 16 new jobs but it also meant the brewery could immediately increase production capacity from 880,000 pints a year to nearly 4 million pints a year with the scope to comfortably double the output should demand increase further.[1][2]

In 2020, Brew York further expanded their range and opened The Market Tap in Pocklington and Brew York: New Briggate in Leeds[3]

The expansion was funded through the reinvestment of profits, loans and grant-funding which included £200,000 from Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP).[4]
