Diary
When does the local branch meet?
We usually meet monthly for an open branch meeting where we discuss current matters and decide such things as which pubs to nominate for the Good Beer Guide, which to award a Pub of the Season and/or Pub of the Year certificate to, all done democratically and as fairly as we can.
Other topics include beer festivals, pub preservation and local pub news, which is the main source of content for the news pages of our quarterly branch magazine, Real Ale Talk.

- Branch Social to Goose Eye and Keighley
Saturday 14 December 2024
Goose Eye Brewery and Tap
A social trip by public transport to a fine brewery tap with some excellent beers.
Then on to Keighley Railway Station to the excellent bar above the platforms, the Old Parcels Office.
A good choice of food is available here as well as a choice of good beers.
Of course, there are a number of other good pubs within walking distance from here.
The brewery tap is very close to Crossflatts station with trains from Leeds roughly every half hour,
e.g. 11:26 from Leeds arrives 11:47, (11:56 arrives 12:17). From Dewsbury, the 10:57 arrives Leeds 11:10.
You need to buy a return to Keighley as Crossflatts is the station before Keighley. - Christmas Social Dinner
