Eighteen months ago, photographer Mark Newton embarked on a personal project to document his local beer scene. Borne out of his own curiosity, the self-confessed ‘beer geek’ saw it as a way to challenge both himself and his work. What developed, however, was a desire to delve deeper into the Yorkshire brewing culture and extensively document the people and places that have come to define it. He’s now ready to share these images in an ambitious new photobook, Beer Yorkshire.
Built on tradition and driven by innovation, Yorkshire hosts some of the beer industry’s foremost purveyors and producers. From breweries to bottle shops, festivals to farmers, it’s a story characterised by the strong and fiercely independent people who make the beer scene what it is.
