Craven Brewery’s tap which is fitted out in more of a pub style than many small breweries based in industrial units. On a small industrial estate just on the northern outskirts of the village, it is in a modern industrial unit however inside it has board floors, typical pub furnishings and brewery adverts. The counter has six pulls with a selection of Craven’s beers, two bitters, two pales, a dark and a co-lab lager with Northern Monk, only on this occasion of course. A long T-bar on the L shaped counter has ten taps half with Craven beers and ciders, half with better national brands. There’s a small screen and piped music, mainly 1960s and 1970s hits so not objectionable to me and a little drowned out by the cellar cooling fans. I found the staff not particularly on the ball, slow to notice waiting punters and pulling the wrong beer for example, the beer quality ranged from excellent to in one case undrinkable probably a cask end. The actual brewery is partially visible in the stairwell leading to an upstairs seating area and additional toilets. Handily close to bus stops for Skipton and Keighley.

The former Naylors brewery is now Craven - I was told that Kirkstall brewery were instrumental in setting up the phoenix company, while the website says that the head brewer has not just Kirkstall but Copper Dragon and Greyhawk on his CV - and the brewery tap is open seven days a week: from 3pm most days, but 12 noon on Sundays. This is the most pub-like brewery tap I have visited, with loads of breweriana and traditional pub furniture. The bar, of a traditional design, with hooks, has five hand pumps and a number of keg taps, with Ossett Silver King the only foreigner among the cask beers. I went for Craven BYB - Best Yorkshire Bitter - which was in not-quite-there condition; perhaps a little green. This is a pleasant drinking environment and worth making a trip to see.
