Independent Yorkshire brewery T&R Theakston is significantly expanding its retail footprint after securing major national and regional supermarket listings for three of its most popular brews.
Starting this month, the brewery’s legendary Old Peculier will be available in cans at Tesco stores across the UK. It will be joined in the aisles by its alcohol-free twin, Nowt Peculier, which is set for a national rollout in Morrisons and a regional launch in the Co-op from June. Using advanced filtration, Nowt Peculier retains the rich, dark ruby character of the original 1890s recipe, offering a “no compromise” option for traditional ale fans.
The brewery’s latest success story, Theakston’s Salted Caramel Porter, is also seeing a massive boost. Following an exceptional response since its 2025 launch, Morrisons will stock the porter nationally this month, with Tesco and the Co-op adding it to their regional shelves. These new deals mean the porter will now be available in over 500 stores nationwide, including existing stockists Waitrose, Booths, and Sainsbury’s.
Richard Bradbury, Managing Director of Theakston’s Brewery, said:
“We’re delighted to see such strong demand for our beers. Much of our portfolio started life in the pub, gaining popularity before making the move into retail and enabling drinkers to enjoy their favourite pints at home. While we remain dedicated to supporting the Great British pub, it’s fantastic to see our beers continue to grow their presence in the off-trade.”
