A MICROPUB has reached the final four in CAMRA’s (Campaign for Real Ale) Pub of the Year competition

The Beer Engine in Skipton could be named as CAMRA’s National Pub of the Year - one of the highest accolades afforded to the UK’s pubs. 

CAMRA said: "It is a well-established micropub in a tiny street between the town centre and the canal, with a friendly and welcoming ambience.

"Six handpumps dispense varying beers, always including one blonde or pale ale and one dark brew, plus a character beer. Extended in 2022, the bar now includes craft keg fonts.

"A still cider and a fruit cider are also on tap alongside a selection of bottled beers, cans, and wines."

Adam Davies and Steven Gregory, directors at The Beer Engine, said: “When we were voted Branch Pub of the Year for our area, we were so happy to get that accolade, and it had never even crossed our minds that we might get further in the competition.”
