10:30 Handy for Shipley station if you are on the main line. Rather a long walk on a wet day from the far side of this triangular station. First people in and had the bar to ourselves for the duration of our stay. Made very welcome. Micro-pub or not, a very pleasant place to enjoy a pint or two.

The pub is found in Shipley, West Yorkshire, BD17 7BP.

One of the new breed of small pubs operating in a converted shop. Single room with the bar counter in one corner. Good display of breweriana including some old trays. They have a range of fifty bottled beers and issue a small card with tick boxes and the challenge to try every beer and get a T-shirt. Not in one session I hasten to add. Some people count this as a micro-pub but the purists say no because of the food.

We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 2 of them.
