  Telegraph | News | Michael Theakston
Michael James Theakston was born in Putney, south-west London, on August 15 1925 and educated at Sedburgh.
His father, a grandson of Robert Theakston, the brewery's founder, was a mechanical engineer in London, but retained an interest in the family brewery through his position as a director.
Michael Theakston remained, though, and even in semi-retirement continued to exert a guiding influence on the firm's fortunes until such time as his sons re-established the family's control.

 Guardian | Michael Theakston
He was the great-grandson of the founder Robert Theakston, who had started brewing at the Black Bull pub in Masham in 1827, and was the grandson of Thomas Theakston, who built the present brewery in 1875.
Theakston's became a cult brand as beer lovers discovered its now legendary strong ale, Old Peculier: the name marks the time, in the Middle Ages, when Masham was a "peculier", a parish outside the jurisdiction of a bishop.
Theakston eventually stood down as chairman, but continued to play a close role in the brewery, taking parties of visitors round the site, which included one of the few remaining coopers' workshops where wooden casks were made.

By raising the ABV [alcohol by volume] from 3.6% to 3.8% we are restoring the strength of the beer to where it was nearly five years ago and enhancing the full flavour of the ale, which should appeal to beer drinkers who are well accustomed to this satisfying pint.
In 1919, Theakston's bought the rival Lightfoot Brewery: according to a local legend, this was done on the grounds that Lightfoot's always won the annual cricket match against Theakston's.

Ever since Paul Theakston admitted that he was planning to brew again, and in Masham, we have been wondering what his beer would be like.
