Real Ales at The Harts Head Inn

The Harts Head Inn is renowned for its choice of real ales, offering a minimum of 4 real ales every day of the week. We buy from a variety of breweries to provide choice for our customers. This is one of the main benefits of being a Freehold Property. We also don't charge the earth for these beers. The beers on offer vary from week to week but the regulars include :

  • Adnams Bitter.

  • Batemans XB Bitter.

  • Black Sheep Bitter.
    First produced and marketed in 1991. Paul Theakston (a former director of Theakstons) is responsible for this excellent beer.

  • Copper Dragon Best Bitter, Golden Pippin, Scott's 1816 & Black Gold.
    Brewed in Skipton. A relatively new brewery (founded 2003) which is producing excellent ales. We've tried most of them now and the response from our customers has been fantastic.

  • Caledonian Brewery Deuchars IPA.

  • Fullers London Pride.

  • Litton Brewery. Leading Lite ale.
    Another newcomer, established July 2003, at the Queens Arms, Litton, near Skipton.

  • Marstons Pedigree.

  • Tetley Bitter ...part of the staple diet of many regulars at the Harts Head.

  • Theakstons Old Peculier ...making a comeback.

  • Timothy Taylor's Landlord.
    Gold medal winner at the 1999 Camra Beer Festival and apparently a firm favourite of Madonna.

Sample Real Ales at The Harts Head Inn

All beers are kept in superb condition hence our listing for three years in succession in the Camra Good Beer Guide. It has taken Trevor over 2 years to compile the standard range of beers - achieved through various forms of experimenting.

It is no fluke that our turnover of real ales sales has increased year on year whilst many other pubs have reduced their offerings.
