Ainsty Ales is a brewery and taproom founded by Andy Herrington in 2014. It is located in Acaster Malbis, York in England. It lies within the York and Ainsty Wapentake a historical district of Yorkshire.
Ainsty is a small brewery and has been producing traditional and craft beer for ten years. However with all the problems over recent years the brewery has been hit hard.
Recently the brewery went into liquidation, which is pretty sad. That said it has been saved by investment from others and now has four share holders.
Andy finally left the brewery in June 2024, but is pleased that the brewery is moving forward and can continue to grow with new investment.
