Mallinsons was formed when two teachers, with a passion for beer, decided one Friday night that they needed to put their money where their mouths were.

​

​Instead of just drinking beers, they were going to start a brewery. They saved for several years, went on brewing courses, and finally formed Mallinsons Brewing Company in a garage in Lindley in 2008.

​

Initially Tara alone brewed and delivered the beers, but by 2010 Elaine was able to join in. By 2012 they had outgrown the garage and their 6 barrel plant. They commission a new 15 barrel plant and relocated to Lockwood.

​

​By 2013, Nick had joined the team and they expanded production volume and variety. The front office was converted into a bottle shop and the a tap house was opened in Huddersfield in 2016.
