Vocation & Co, Hebden Bridge

This is a modern bar set in part of an old hotel. It's a roughly L shaped room with a laminate floor, white walls and chunky low tables and chairs. There was no TV but music playing at a reasonable volume. When I first arrived I thought it was going to be all keg as everything is served from taps in the wall. However, the end four are slightly different and are cask. I went for the Brass Castle Bad Kitty (£3.60) then as time was limited a half of the Vocation Time & Space. This cost a whopping £3.10 but is 8.5% and was one of the smoothest easy drinking beers of that strength I had ever tried. This is another great venue in Hebden Bridge town centre that doesn't need to rely on TV Sport unlike most of the older pubs.

The old Moyles Hotel is now the brewery tap for Vocation brewery. It's fairly minimalist with standard seating and a couple of booths to the right as you enter. The bar is at right angles to the door where there are 4 cask ales pulled from taps in the back wall, plus numerous keg taps. They now do food which is based around assorted tacos. Note the flood proofing with the plug sockets etc, all 5 feet off the floor. We've been in here twice recently and will no doubt call again.
