The Red Lion pub in Skipton has been given permission to stock local ales.
The Greene King pub has grown its cask ale sales over the past 18 months and house manager Gary Cummins has now persuaded his bosses to allow the pub to join the Society of Independent Brewers.
The first two local breweries invited on to the bar will be the town’s own Copper Dragon and Ilkley Brewery.
Mr Cummins said: “Now when visitors ask which is a local brew we can finally be proud to say this one is brewed just down the road or over t’hill. Our locals can look forward to sampling more from others in the area as the months go on and our biggest coupe is to run our very own beer festival during Skipton Beer Festival.”
