North Yorkshire's Black Sheep brewery saved
The company's been bought by investment firm Breal Group
A deal's been done to save North Yorkshire's famous Black Sheep brewery.
Investment firm Breal Capital has bought the company, after it went into administration earlier this month.
It had reported struggling sales following the pandemic - and the cost of living crisis.
A spokesperson for the new Black Sheep Brewing Company said: “We are pleased to announce that Black Sheep Brewery has been acquired by the Breal Group and has become Black Sheep Brewing Company Limited, trading as Black Sheep Brewery.
“This marks the next chapter in the history of Black Sheep as we look to grow the business in a sustainable way.
“Our team will continue to produce great beers from our landmark brewery in Masham, North Yorkshire and we look forward to welcoming bank holiday customers and tourists to all our retail sites this weekend.
“Breal has a proven track record of successfully transforming and growing the businesses it acquires through the private capital, operational resources, and strategic expertise it brings and we look forward to working closely with the team.”
