Brewery says cheers to jobs and growth

Ossett Brewery is celebrating its latest phase of growth as it invests in the growth of its brewery.

The brewery is building a new cold storage warehouse to extend capacity at its West Yorkshire site.

The company said this was in response to growing demand for Ossett brands such as Yorkshire Blonde, Silver King and Excelsior – the latter two of which are both SIBA national champion beers and have been part of the core range since the brewery’s inception in 1998.

Work has already started on the site of Ossett’s existing brewery and the 12,000 sq ft warehouse is set to open by the end of the year. The company is also undertaking a rebrand.

The brewery currently employs 28 local staff and will increase its workforce by 40 over the next 3 years with plans to move into packaged products.

Ossett beers are sold across its own estate of 24 public houses and restaurants as well as via wholesalers.

Jamie Lawson, owner of Ossett Brewery, said: “The main company logo remains the same design but we have toned down the colours, making it fit better into a wider variety of applications. For the new pump clips we have deconstructed the full logo somewhat to create a sleeker design.

“We have found it difficult to effectively fit the full logo onto the front of a limited size pump clip, so we have used our ‘red bar’ only which prominently displays the company name. With a major new brewery expansion coming this autumn, we feel we are now in a better position to elevate our brands to new successes.”
