At Hotel Victoria’s Loxley Pub, we celebrate the best of Yorkshire’s brewing and distilling heritage. Whether you’re a fan of crisp ales, artisanal gins or fine English wines, our carefully curated selection highlights the finest local producers.

From Yorkshire ales to local gins and the elegant Nyetimber Classic Brut, there’s something for every taste.

Yorkshire Ales: A Brewer’s Paradise  

Yorkshire is renowned for its traditional brewing methods, producing some of the UK’s most beloved ales. At The Loxley Pub, we champion the region’s best breweries, offering a selection of locally brewed beers that showcase rich history and craftsmanship.

Whitby Brewery: A Local Favourite

Located in the shadow of the iconic Whitby Abbey, Whitby Brewery creates handcrafted ales using the finest British ingredients. Their brews reflect the town’s seafaring heritage and rugged North Yorkshire landscape.

  • Whitby Whaler (4.0% ABV): A smooth, golden ale with citrus notes and a refreshing finish.
  • Abbey Blonde (4.2% ABV): A crisp, light ale with hints of floral hops, perfect for summer evenings.
  • Jet Black (4.5% ABV): A rich, dark porter inspired by Whitby’s famous jet gemstone, offering deep roasted malt flavours.

Beyond Whitby Brewery, we also feature ales from other renowned Yorkshire brewers, including Theakston’s, Black Sheep Brewery, and Samuel Smith’s, ensuring a true taste of the region in every pint.  

Local Gins: A Celebration of Botanical Excellence  

Yorkshire has emerged as a powerhouse in the UK’s gin scene, with small-batch distilleries crafting exceptional local gins infused with regional botanicals. Whether you prefer a classic London Dry or a flavoured gin bursting with fruit, our selection has something to suit all palates.
