Trinity Brewing Company
Trinity Brewing Company was launched on 22 November 2015. The company was established by two local lads who were both avid Wakefield Trinity Wildcats fans, Neil Land and Steve Locking.
Neil Land worked for 6 years at Clark’s Brewery in Wakefield before moving on to Tetley’s brewery in Leeds where he remained for 14 years before its closure and then opening and running the Whitley Bridge Brewing Company. Steve Locking a qualified welder and steel fabricator and has worked in the brewing industry, food industry and heavy engineering. Steve built the 5 barrel microbrewery.
The two worked together on a ground improvement project at the Wakefield Wildcats where the idea of a brewery based at the stadium was born. Following some discussion with the owners of the club it was agreed that a brewery could be built in the West Stand. 18 months later the brewery production started.
The four core beers they started with were:
Dreadnought 4.8% Chocolate Stout
The Legend 3.6% Bitter
Dark Daze 3.4% Mild
Belle Vue Blonde 3.8% Pale Ale
The brewery ceased production in August 2017.
