The Winster Valley brewery was started in 2010 at the Brown Horse Inn at Winster. The initial brew was Old School Bitter, and the range has expanded as the beers have been well received.

Bottled Beers are available.

As of late 2016, brewing has been suspended and the brewing equipment has been removed. It is not known yet whether new premises will be found and whether brewing will re-commence. The regular beers are currently brewed by Bowness Bay Brewery.
