Daleside Brewery is an independent brewery founded in 1988 by Bill Witty. Its headquarters are located in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.
In March 2024, it was reported that the company had been acquired by Rooster’s Brewing Co.[1]
Three years after his father founded the company, Craig Witty became head brewer in 1991. When Billy passed away in 2007, his son took over running Daleside Brewery and continues to be a driving force behind the popular English microbrewery.[2]
Established in Hurrogate, the firm moved to Starbeck in 1992 and went through periods of enlargement up until 1999.[3] It has won numerous awards for its ales, including its Morocco Ale.
The 17th-century recipe for this ale, which had been brewed especially for Charles II of England and named after his wife, Catherine of Braganza, who was described as being Moorish,[4] was rediscovered in the early 1990s after being lost and was given to Daleside under special licence.[4][5] Morocco Ale is specially brewed for Levens HallinCumbria, who are the owners of the secret recipe.
