T&R Theakston is the sixteenth largest brewer in the UK by market share, and the second largest brewer under family ownership after Shepherd Neame. The company was founded in 1827 by Robert Theakston and John Wood at the Black Bull pub and brewhouse in Masham. The company produces cask ale and pasteurised bottled ales, the best known of its beers is probably Old Peculier which has been made under this name since the 1890s. It is named after the peculier of Masham http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masham#St_Mary.27s_Church.2C_Masham , a peculier being a parish outside the jurisdiction of a diocese.
