The Castle Inn, Knaresborough

This is a small traditional pub in a distinctive building with some nice features: the wood panelled bar and fireplace, and the bench seating in tiny corners next to the fireplace opposite - presumably a separate room at one time. There are three hand pumps on the bar, with just two beers on: Caledonian Deuchars IPA and Ossett Blonde. I went for the first named, but would I have known the difference if I'd gone for the Ossett instead? I liked this place more for its character than its beers, and I wouldn't mind coming back if I find myself in Knaresborough again.
