Ilkley - Mash Tonne5.40ExcellentWell balanced and very bitter. A Tea-infused blackberry brown ale, using a Darjeeling black tea for cold infusion and fresh blackberries. Took a lot of slooshing around the mouth then suddenly the blackberries came through. Ilkley's 1000th gyle

The pub is found in York, North Yorkshire, YO24 1AB.

Fantastic restoration of the Edwardian tea room at York railway station. The bar is placed centrally with drinking areas either side. Each side has handpumps and keg taps dispensing a huge array of real ales and ciders / perries and worldwide beers. A must when visiting York. Total of 20 handpumps for real ale and cider.

We have visited this pub 28 times, seen 244 different beers and tried 42 of them.
