Knaresborough brewery owners to sell after nine years

Friday, 13 February 2026 07:58

Turning Point Brewery owners Aron McMahon and Cameron Brown.

The owners of Turning Point Brewing Company in Knaresborough have announced they are set to sell the business after nine years.

Cameron Brown and Aron McMahon shared the news on social media, describing the decision as coming after “nine joyous and successful years.”

Turning Point began life in 2017 in Kirkbymoorside before relocating to Knaresborough in 2019, taking over the former Rooster’s Brewery site after that business moved to Hornbeam Park.

Since then, it has become a well-known name in the town’s independent drinks scene, producing a wide range of craft beers and hosting regular taproom events.

The sale includes the 300-year-old Falcon pub in York.

In a statement, the brewery said:

“The brewery will operate and trade as normal until a new ownership is found and implemented and all planned projects and events, such as Taproom openings, Imperial March etc, all continue as scheduled.

“The reasons for sale are personal to the Directors, and they feel the time is right for someone with equal passion and drive to take the reins and move this wonderful, thriving brewery and brand forward for many years to come.”

Turning Point is known for its extensive range of styles, particularly New England IPAs, sours and imperial stouts.

Over the years, the team has brewed around 160 different ales, many with space-themed names such as Astral Voyage and Cosmic Slop.

Its best-selling beer is Disco King, a 5.1% ABV American pale ale.

Some of the brewery’s beers are stocked in the craft beer sections of major supermarkets including Asda, Sainsbury’s and The Co-op, as well as independent bottle shops and bars.

The Turning Point statement added:

“Should you be interested in buying a prospering, profitable business, please get in touch at office@turningpointbrewco.com where a full sales prospectus is available.”
