Theakstons brew a range of quality beers of which their 'Old Peculier' is legendary! Although committed to upholding their traditional brewing methods, in a brewery building which is 136 years old: to meet ever increasing demand, Theakstons recognized that operational improvements would have to be made to those areas, such as materials handling, which would have no effect whatsoever on the quality of their beers.

Until early 2000, malt was delivered direct to the brew house door in 110 lb bags. Every week 280 bags were manually unloaded one at a time and transported in a wheeled barrow to a storage area around a hoist. The manual hoist, which took two men to operate, was used to transfer enough of the bags to a third floor in the roof space where they were stored ready to be opened and discharged into the grist mill - the start of the brewing process.
