About our Jolly Brewery

Starting life in the small village of Riccall in 2012, We only produced small batches to sell to local pubs and our pub, the jolly sailor in Cawood. Things were going slowly but always forward, adding blonde, bitter, mild, and porter to our catalogue of beer. After a year of sailing, we found a new location in the town of Selby at the Olympia Hotel where we began to ramp up production and added stout and many more beers to our stores.

After winning an award at York Beer and Cider Festival in September 2016, we decided to brew in larger quantities, open up a shop at the brewery and start selling into the community as well as to our own pubs. We want to engage with the community, host festivals and other events in order to interact with and get closer to the people we make our beer for.

All of our core beers can be bought as 9 gallon (41L) casks as well as Large (approx. 20L), Medium (approx. 10L) and Small (Approx. 5L) Bag in Box and if you ask us nicely we may even be able to provide some as 4.5 Gallon pins (20L).

The Brewery and Shop are located in the grounds of The Olympia Pub (just off the A19) where you can come and sample a few ales before taking them away in bottles or Bag in Box to enjoy at home.

 

Please note:

Although our opening times do not include evenings and certain hours at the weekend, our beer can be ordered in opening hours and collected from the pub out of opening hours.
