Hustle, Skipton

Micro as in small rather than the full Kentish dogma, long and thin with doors onto High St in front and Sheep St behind. Counter to one side and seating down the other side plus a window table at each end, there’s also more seating upstairs. Three pulls, two Bradfield Farmers this and that and an IPA from Pennine, neither are favourite breweries of mine but my Farmers Blonde was well conditioned and drinkable, not actively unpleasant. There’s two four way T-Bars of more interesting kegs and a four tap Smirnoff cocktail dispenser, lots of gin and more spirits behind the counter. Friendly in the way micros usually are, but the piped music is intrusive and half. Dog friendly.

A new, small bar which opened on the 7th December. A range of cask ales is available, plus, kegs from Brooklyn. There appears to be some sort of partnership with Ossett Brewery.
