Sister company Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery has been shortlisted for the Remarkable Cuppa, the Remarkable Local Producer

Spirit of Yorkshire's marketing director, Jenni Ashwood, is delighted with the news: "Tourism is an important part of the distillery's offering, and the team is over the moon that the Pot Still Coffee Shop has been recognised by tourism chiefs in the region. We look forward to meeting our fellow finalists at the awards dinner."

Councillor Nick Coultish, cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: "The awards are a testament to the popularity of the region as a visitor destination and the range of what's on offer to see and do within Hull and East Yorkshire.

"The visitor economy is a hugely important sector for the region's economic growth and prosperity and good luck to all of the amazing finalists this year."

The teams of both businesses will find out whether they have won at an awards dinner at Bridlington Spa on 14th November 2024.

Home to Filey Bay single malt whisky, Hunmanby based Spirit of Yorkshire is a field-to-bottle distillery and is one of only a handful of distilleries worldwide that uses 100% home-grown barley to produce its whisky.

Wold Top Brewery was founded in 2003 and is located on the Mellor family farm at Hunmanby Grange near Filey. The team uses home-grown barley and water from the farm's borehole to produce a range of cask, keg, and bottled beers that are available throughout Yorkshire and nationwide.
