The Beer Engine, Skipton

Lovely little micropub near the canal basin in Skipton. Really friendly. Five ales on, but only had time to sample one, a lovely pint of Fat Cat Meow Mild. I wish I'd had time to try more, but Mrs Staal and dinner were waiting. I'd love to come back.

Single room micro pub with the counter in a back corner and a few (4) tables to the front. The five pulls usually serve a blonde, a pale, a bitter, a "quirky" and a dark going left to right across the pumps, and are in cracking condition. The stillage is in glass cabinets behind the counter along with a selection of German & Belgian bottles and some wines and ciders. Pump clips on the wall opposite show coming next rather than what's gone. Trendy grey paint job and some bench seating at the front , in other words a classic micro pub - go there!
