Kinda not a lot happening this week! Our beer stocks are good after the slow build from the start of the year so this week we are only brewing Tiller Pin, we might do a bit more painting in the brewery and with a bit of luck find time to go strip some more stuff out of Low Street.

Its not all slow week though as we’re preparing for our joint bar day with Bingley Brewery on Saturday here in the brewery and great food from Loaf & Loaded. Bingley are bringing 5 of their Cask beers and our own bar will have the usual 6x Cask & 4x Keg beers, we’ll have SPBW here and 4 of our Cask beers will be served ‘from the wood’ and we’ll have at least 2 wood-aged beers on Keg too. So if you are going to or coming from Bradford Beer Festival on Saturday be sure to hop on the train to Keighley we are open from 12 to 8pm Saturday 28th Feb.

Beers in Tank currently are Donna 4.5% which is sitting on the dry hops and will be kegged and casked on Friday, Gaggle Lager 4.6% is happily bubbling away under pressure and should head into Keg in a week or two.

Hope to see you all here. Cheers

Here is a bit of a rundown of what we’re doing this week at Wishbone.

That’s not a Knife 3.9% Aussie / American hopped pale went into cask, and it’s tasting really good as an easy drinking session pale with some lovely fruity hopping from Galaxy, Enigma & Simcoe.

Also into cask went our latest Single Hop Blonde 3.4% with tasty New Zealand hop Nelson Sauvin, I could quite easily sink a load of these the hop character comes across well and the bitterness keeps you coming back.

Tuesday was our collab brewday with Kath from The Burnt Bear and her group of local business women, we are brewing for International Women’s Collaboration Brew Day, IWCBD for short. The beer is a session IPA and is going to be called Donna after the actual burnt bear that Kath took the name for the pub from so a good bit of local history. The beer is hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy, Ekuanot and Citra and we are fermenting with the Verdant strain of yeast for maximum haze and fruity character. This is also our 1000th brew so a double celebration for us.

Brewing Thursday will be Gaggle Lager 4.6%, probably our fruitiest lager recipe with Bobek & Lubelski hops bringing the fruit and spice.

Please order in all the usual ways, email, phone, txt, whatsapp etc
Cheers 😉

Brewing this week are Nelson Single Hop Blonde 3.4% and That’s Not a Knife 3.9% Session Pale which has Simcoe, Enigma and Galaxy hops in it. That’s not a knife is Australian and American hopped, has a photo on it that I took in the Aussie Outback, we need you all to order this beer in a similar way to Paul Hogan calming a Buffalo!

Also heading into Cask are Tiller Pin 4.2% and Abyss Stout 4.3%, both available to order now.

Cheers

Hope you all enjoy our beer selection, we’ll be staffing it Friday on the Trade Session and all day Saturday.

See you there.

Here’s the back of our Bar Dates flyers, we think its important, we think its important to support the Small, Indie and Local so as to keep the UK beer landscape interesting and thriving.

Three brews this week should see us fully stocked up for all styles, Tiller Pin simply to ensure stock, a new Single Hopped Blonde 3.4% using Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand, and Abyss Stout cos folks ask for it when it’s not in stock.

Also put in cask this week have been Blonde 3.6% and Knock Back Bitter 4%, the bitter has had a nice little colour tweak and is tasting good.

Order in all the usual ways, Cheers 🍺

Just a quick post to say its been quite a while since we had Bingley Brewery down at our place, it was 2022 in fact! It will be the usual opening times, open from 12 noon, though guess we’ll stretch out shouting last orders a little later to 8pm 😉 Also if you like Beer from the wood, we will have 4x Wishbone Cask beers served from the wood and the SPBW lot will be here with an award for us!

Bingley will be bringing their bar and beers down to us for Saturday February 28th, they will be serving 5 or 6 Handpulled beers alongside our own 6 Handpulled and 4 keg beers.

Food will be from Loaf & Loaded. I’ll update here once I have the menu.

Yes we know this clashes with Bradford Beer Festival but we figure there is enough diversity of customers that we’ll all make a good day of it.

Bit of a late post as didn’t have time yesterday, Today’s beers in the brewery with Palomino Pizza

And possible changes, depending what we decide when we get in to work.

Open from 12.00 til 7pm today 👍

This week sees us brewing Blonde 3.6% to keep stocks up along with Knock Back Bitter 4%, we have tweaked the bitter recipe to get the colour to be a little darker and reflect the Amber/Bitter tag we gave it.

Also this week we have racked and kegged Pixie Juice 5% and Decade 4%, both Gluten Free beers so we have to wait for the test results to come back before releasing them. They should be available in about a week.

And one we’ve not brewed for a while but tasting rather blooming good as a solid pint has gone into Cask, Blanc Stare 4.1% which is available now.

And before you go back to what you were doing, its our Brewery Bar Day this Saturday 12 til 7pm with Palomino Pizza throwing the delightful dough disks!

This week we are brewing a couple of things, My BFF is an Ai 5% IPA with Ekuanot and Mosaic hops, and Blanc Stare 4.1% with Hallertau Blanc and Nelson Sauvin hops.

Blanc Stare should be available in about a week and My BFF the week after.

Beers coming out of tank soon are Tiller Pin, Pixie Juice and Decade.

Order in the usual ways, cheers
