SALT BEER FACTORY
As a sister company to Ossett Brewery, SALT was founded in 2018 with a mission to unify heritage and modern brewing. Now an award-winning brewery, you can find SALT beers pouring at local pubs across the UK including 9 own branded bars and retail venues located in Yorkshire and London.

RAT BREWERY
Housed beneath The Rat and Ratchet and since the very first brew of Lab Rat in 2011, head brewer, Paul Spencer and brewer Robin Moss, have created rodent themed beers to critical acclaim. Our beers are distinctive, extreme, generally intensely hopped and anything but average, experimenting with a range of different beer styles, strengths and ingredients. Rat beer is now infecting all four corners of the UK faster than the Black Death, turning a local infestation into a national plague. White Rat in particular has emerged as the flagship beer and now sits within the Ossett core range.
- SINCE 2009 -
RIVERHEAD BREWERY
The Riverhead brew-pub opened in 1995, with Ossett Brewery purchasing the site in 2009. The core range are named after local reservoirs, with the height of the reservoir relating to the strength of the beer. Brewer, Richard Armitage, has created many new beers whilst retaining the old local favourites such as Butterley and Redbrook. The Riverhead is our smallest brewery, which now boasts a new five brewers barrel plant producing just fourteen firkins per brew which means the majority of Riverhead beers are sold through the Brewery Tap itself.
