Cask Ales and Traditional Beers

At the Woolpack we are very proud of our cask ales and we take great care to ensure that every pint we serve is perfect. Because of this, our efforts have been rewarded with an accreditation to Cask Marque, an independent body who came and tested our beers on separate unannounced visits and thought our cask ales were good enough to join their elite group.

Cask Ale

Currently we stock three cask ales, but have room for four. At the moment the cask we offer are Copper Dragon Best, Copper Dragon Golden Pippen and Black Sheep Ale - all locally brewed.

 
Copper Dragon Best Traditional Beer

Copper Dragon Best Bitter (3.8%)

£3.00

Ever since we first stocked Copper Dragon Best back in 2007 it has been a big hit. Back then we wanted something local so we tried it through the SIBA (Small and Independent Brewery's Association) Scheme but it has since become such a popular brand that it is now recognised as a permanent fixture.

It's a refreshing amber coloured Best bitter, with a well-balanced malty and hoppy flavour. An excellent mid-gravity session ale brewed to suit that special Northern palate.

 
Copper Dragon Golden Pippen Traditional Beer

Copper Dragon Golden Pippen (3.9%)

£3.00

Another product from the popular Skipton based brewery is the wonderfully light Golden Pippen. We got this in for the summer as it gives the cask ale drinker something a bit more refreshing, but instead we are seeing lager drinkers switching to cask for the first time!

It's a light refreshing blonde ale brewed using a specially selected hop to create a citrus fruit flavour. This golden coloured favourite is equally appealing to real ale and lager drinkers alike.

 
Timothy Taylor Landlord Cask Ale

Timothy Taylor Landlord (4.3%)

£3.20

After lots of request's we finally decided to put the famous Landlord on tap. A Classic Strong Pale Ale, Landlord has won more awards nationally than any other beer: This includes four times as Champion at the Brewers' International Exhibition and four times as CAMRA's beer of the year.

Refreshingly reliable, nationally renowned, this full drinking Pale Ale with a complex and hoppy aroma has real "Pulling Power" and stands out in any bar as the ideal regular.
