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 GBBF. It pours clear pale blonde with a bubbly white head. The aroma is sweet lime and corona, agave, oily sugars and toasty grain. The taste is pretty bitter, raw booze, big tequila, raw, solvent, limey, agave, tannin, toasty grain with a raw paint stripper finish. Light - medium body, low carbonation and oily mouth - feel. Nice aroma, but taste is horrible.

Keighley & Worth Valley Beer Festival 2017. Black and smooth, with a thick creamy head. It's a very hoppy dark ale in both aroma and taste. There's some fruitiness, but it's mostly lost within its medium roasted malt character.

Keighley & Worth Valley Beer Festival 2017. Black with its oak influence giving it a very smooth texture. Both the cherry and chocolate are lovely within this.

Keighley & Worth Valley Beer Festival 2017. Golden-blonde in colour. Hoppy to an extent, you'll probably recognise its wheat free taste immediately if you didn't know.
