A brewery is helping residents taste the fruits of their labour by handing out bottles of cider.
Naylor’s Brewery, based in Station Road, Cross Hills, near Keighley, held its third cider-making event over two days in September and October last year, when residents were invited to donate apples and operate a cider press.
After four months of fermentation, Naylor’s have now produced 600 bottles of Emporium Press Number 3, a 5.5 per cent cider.
Jeff Wilson, the brewery’s sales manager, said sales of kegs and bottled beers had increased dramatically since January and the brewery was planning special brews for the Queen’s diamond jubilee and the Olympics.
Robert Naylor, who runs the brewery with his brother Stephen, said: “We’re brewing a 1952 Celebration Ale that is a recipe from the year the Queen came to power.”
