The Slip Inn, York

Enjoyed our day's activities finishing at this pub on Wednesday, especially when we found Brewmeister Ten on the bar, a superb 10.1% beer and a new brewery for us. Good choice of beers always available and our other beer was from Yorkshire Dales, Arkengarthdale.

Just around the corner from its sister pub The Swan. It was bought and turned into a freehouse in 2010. There's a small room as you enter with a larger one behind the bar. There's also a large courtyard at the back. 5 handpumps on the bar serving Leeds Pale, Ilkley Gold, Rudgate Ruby Mild and a couple of changing guests. The pint I had was in very good nick and the landlady and the couple of regulars that were in, were all very friendly. It's a very neat little pub that we'll definitely call in again. Note that it doesn't open until 5 on weekdays, so go to The Swan first as it opens at 4.
