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.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Floral hops in the nose, and they are one of the main flavours in the mouth as well, along with juniper. There is also apples and various herbs and spices floating around (not literally !). Finish is slightly bitter and herby. A bit strange, but OK A pretty good recreation of gin and tonic in a beer !

Bradford Beer Festival 2020. Black with a creamy off-white head. A double-digit strength but its sweet dark malts still provide a fair flavour here. Sugars are abundant.
