Description
Bridgehouse Brewery is a 15bl brewery that is located in our purpose built brewhouse in the grounds of our flagship pub The Airedale Heifer at Sandbeds Keighley .

in March 2010 Bridgehouse Brewery purchased the kit of the closed Ryburn Brewery and commenced brewing in Keighley and very soon moved up the Worth valley to Oxenhope. In May 2014, Bridgehouse and Old Bear merged and the brewery moved to the Old Bear site in Aireworth Road. A new brewhouse was then built behind the Airedale Heifer pub at Sandbeds, between Keighley and Bingley, and the brewing is now done there. To this day Bridgehouse Brewery still use open top fermenters and traditional brewing menthods.

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2025, Beer#5. Lighter golden with a glow. Nice fuller texture, and quite fruity too, but also distinctively dry in character.

Pale brown, plum brings a lot of sourness and fruit but there’s not much malt to support it, so it basically goes nowhere.

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of fruits, cocoa and fudge. Creamy taste but a little thin. Still enjoyable.

Bottle shared courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of bread, butter, caramel and hopes. Caramel comes through on the taste with slight carbonation. Not bad.
