Ilkley Brewery quickly outgrew their original 2009 site near Booths Supermarket and were lucky to drop on this larger unit just off the A65 near the town cemetery. |

A view of the brewing hall, with (centre) the copper and foreground left, a huge 30 barrel fermenter. All the vessels are supplied by Moeschle. Hidden behind the copper is a double decker vessel with the mash tun as the top half and the hot liquor tank as the bottom half. |

Co-owner Stewart Ross related
how he had come into the brewing business
through running the annual Ilkley Round Table
Beer Festival. He's leaning on a pump for Joshua
Jane, a rich nut brown Yorkshire ale, packed
with flavour for a 3.7% beer, Beer of the Week
(weren't we lucky!), which many folk including
the Wakefield CAMRA party have urged him to make
a regular brew. Notice that the top edge of Ilkley pumpclips often features the outline of the local Cow and Calf Rocks. |
