Just back from Shipley, W Yorks and I thoroughly concur with the piece. four cracking pubs in Shipley, Saltaire (next door) and across the moors in Ilkley. All very busy selling beers in very good order (NBSS 3.5 or 4) from a range of local micros, despite the hot weather. But who would have thought that this somewhat depressed post-industrial town would have such beer and such pubs.
Hi Phil we were in Clitheroe earlier in the year - great place - some good Thwaites as well from their new brewery which is nearby. Corto's opening hours worked against us sadly. But this was an eye opener for its interior. https://whatpub.com/pubs/LAE/879/emporium-clitheroe

Oh! Missed that one, John. Looks interesting. Next time...
I went to the Thwaites Brewery but they wouldn't let me in. Do they not know who I am?!
Shocking - no respect any more!
