Popular Yorkshire brewery, Black Sheep, has announced its biggest rebrand since it was founded over 31 years ago.
The rebrand follows the exciting news that a huge one million pound investment would be invested in the brewery’s Masham site.
The next chapter of Black Sheep Brewing is marked with a sleek new design will feature across all Black Sheep Brewery beers, included keg, cask, and bottles - and of course this extends to the online merch too.

The iconic Black Sheep that we've all come to know as the brewery's signature will take 'pride of place', featuring on all products, as well as fresh Dales water in 'every drop'.
The new branding will make its debut at the Northern Restaurant & Bar today (12 March), giving those attending the industry-led event, a chance to see the brand new look before it hits bars and pubs across the country in the coming weeks.
Later this spring, new-look for Black Sheep will come to supermarket stockists like Tesco and Morrisons.

Mark Williams, CEO of Black Sheep Brewery's parent group Keystone Brewing, commented: “Black Sheep Brewery was born from 200 years of brewing experience and a family rebellion, founded by Paul to brew the highest quality beer without ever compromising on quality. 31 years later, our ethos and our iconic beers remain the same: we brew to challenge convention, with fresh Dales water in Masham, Yorkshire”
“With this rebrand, we will ensure to continue Paul’s legacy, by investing heavily to champion growth and secure our future right here in our ancestral home.”
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
