Will be coming across for a Springtime walk and pub crawl in the Yorks Dales. Will be starting in Haworth, then up thru Hawes and Askrigg, etc. Looking for pubs and breweries along the way.
Anyway -- have heard a rumour of a new brewery in Skipton. Anybody got any info on this?
Also, where in the Keighly/Haworth area is best for finding Timothy Taylor ales like landlord??
cheers,
charles
The last new brewery in Skipton is Copper Dragon which opened about a year ago. Abosultely superb beers, the head brewer was somewhat wasted in his previous job brewing Websters. Their website
There is a new very small brewery (9 gallon brewplant weekend brewing only) in the Oxenhope area under the name Leeming Waters, but I think you'll be very lucky to find some of that around.
Thanks for all the info. The Copper Dragon website is really nice; looking forward to their ales. Also will check for the Oxenhope brews as well.
We have had many goods quaffs from really small breweries, like Dipton Mill, High Force, and a small brewery near Gunnerside that brewed SwaledAle. Gonna try and find them again as well. Sound like a wonderful trip already.

Wouldn't bother with High Force or Swaled Ales as neither have brewed for a couple of years now.
Also forgot The Waggon and Horses, Oxenhope on the Oxenhope-Hebden Bridge road, but a good climb out of Oxenhope, who have been brewing since last summer using the name Oxenhope Moorlands.
You might find some help on our CAMRA branch website at

Sorry to hear they closed. I relaly liked the Gunnerside ales.
BTW - just found this neat web site showing breweries by county, both open and closed.
