Beer Festivals
Keighley and Craven CAMRA organise 2 beer festivals in the Branch area:
Skipton Beer Festival
The 6th Skipton Beer Festival will be held from 19th to 21st April 2012 in Skipton Town Hall. For more information visit the Skipton Beer Festival web-site.
The 5th Skipton Beer Festival was again a runaway success. Held in Skipton Town Hall from Thursday 19th May to Saturday 21st May, the event attracted over 2100 customers, who pretty much drank everything on offer. More details here.

Keighley Beer Festival
The 23rd Keighley Beer Festival, held again at Keighley‘s Victoria Hall over the weekend 22nd to 24th September 2011, was again a resounding success despite the credit crunch. The cider nearly all sold out and all but a couple of crates of foreign beer went too. At the end of the festival, there were still ( small amounts of) about 30 cask beers available, and many favourable comments were passed on to our door staff when the punters were leaving. Thanks to all who came and made it such an enjoyable event!
The provisional dates for 2012 are Thursday to Saturday 6th to 8th September. For further details, watch this space.
