The Wold Top Brewery is an integral part of Hunmanby Grange, the Mellor family farm, which is situated high on the Yorkshire Wolds where gently sloping hills give way to the sea. Brewing commenced in 2003 and uses home grown malted barley, chalk-filtered borehole water and some grown grown hops.
Falling Stone is Wold Top's best bitter. It is named after the 'Wold Cottage Meteorite', which fell on the Yorkshire Wolds in 1795 and now stands in the British Museum. It is a full-bodied, smooth and well-rounded beer with a darker colouring, good but perhaps not quite as special as all the hype might lead you to expect.
Maris Otter together with some chocolate malt form the basis of the beer. It contains Progress and Northdown hops for flavouring and aroma. Its is 4.2% ABV and is not bottle conditioned.
