Only a small delivery from @brasscastlebeer.bsky.social this time; don't worry they all pack a punch. Andrew's sure introductions aren't necessary for Bad Kitty or Crush. This time around Crush is showcasing the classic Citra-Chinook combo, and is bound to be a big hit. #BeerSky #BskyBeer

Four pump clips on a brown wooden table. Crush DDH pale ale 5.5%, Wallop 8.4%, Sunshine IPA 6%, and Bad Kitty vanilla porter, 5.5%

It's on! Our collaboration with our friends at Nightjar Brew Co. Hebden Bridge. Whippet Good, a rather modern and rather delicious #Yorkshire bitter. Lovely colour too, fresh conker for reference.

How many hops do we need to make our own beer? It's only 2 years old, and has been completely neglected., so hopefully if we give it a bit of love we'll have enough next year. We've a couple of beers with locally grown green hops due in the next couple of weeks. Keep an eye out for them.

Andrew has nobly pledged to be at the front of our queue when the bitter hits the pumps in a couple of weeks. Big thanks to Matt and Jake for making him so welcome. He's hoping they'll pop down to the pub once it's on for an informal meet the brewer session; watch this space for details.

1/3 Andrew's been buying every English hopped beer he can, so he jumped at the chance to do an English hopped bitter with Nightjar Brew Co. #HebdenBridge As a bonus their recipe uses two new hops, Boadicea and Godiva, from the Charles Faram hop development programme... #BeerSky #BskyBeer

Andrew's looking to the NE this weekend as he's just got access to some fab breweries up there. This includes Wylam — he's had a couple of excellent pales so he's now bagged two casks — and North Pier, new to him, excellent reviews, and who wouldn't want a pint of Northern Best? #BskyBeer #BeerSky

Eight pump clips on a wooden table: North Pier's High Tide IPA, 6%; Wylam's Confessions, summer pale, 4.5%; Runaway Brewery, Running Pale, 3.4%; Wylam's Plain Porter, 4.7%; North Pier's Northern Best 4.4%; plus some usual suspects: Turning Point's The Yeti Is Waiting Pale Ale, 4.8%; Mallinson's Elixir Mosaic, 4%; and Amity's Good Word Pale at 5.1%.

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · 21/08/2026

1/2 Andrew thought we'd have a change of pace this week. Rather than hunting out new breweries we're returning to an old favourite, Linfit Brewery. Their English Guineas was his favourite on a recent trip to the Sair Inn. #BeerSky

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · 14/08/2026

1/2 Andrew's hot weekend line up; btw you're responsible for making sure they all get on... Buy beer! 🍺 First up, Plough On, a delicious English hopped mild from Trig Brewing came on today and is sure to fly out... #Beersky #Bskybeer

1/ On 8 August we celebrate the 12th anniversary of our #cooperative pub. Unlike the dreadful #AI slop below, the Fox and Goose was built by humans, for humans (and their dogs). Community and connection feel more important than ever, so why not join us for a pint tomorrow. #HebdenBridge

We asked Chatgpt to generate the most AI style promotional image for the pub and it's a doozy, an opalescent fox and goose gaze into the middle distance, text reads your local hub for conversation, connection and good times, boke. Weird hallucinated buildings and a canal can be seen.

2/ So tasty that he's already wishing he'd bought more (he has a bigger cellar on his Christmas list). He's also really looking forward to Brand X, an old school IPA from Wilde Child Brewing Co. We've music from the Kismet DJs and food from Cuckoo Stone Pizza on Saturday, hope you can join us.

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · 07/08/2026

1/ It's our anniversary weekend and Andrew's been sourcing some liquid treats for our party tomorrow. He's chuffed to have got re-brews of a couple of our recent collabs: Frank from @bingleybrewery.bsky.social and Good for the Goose from Pictish Brewing Company; both tasty hoppy pales. #BskyBeer

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · 31/07/2026

On Saturday 8th August we'll be celebrating the Fox & Goose's 12th birthday as a co-op pub with a garden party. There'll be pizza from our friends at Cuckoo Stone Pizza from 2-7pm, and we do hope you can join us to raise a glass to 12 years of coming together as a community.

The Fox and Goose @foxandgoose.org · 24/07/2026

Now then, were I down at the Fox today I'd be after a pint of this Brown Ale from Anthology. Why? Every beer I've tasted from this Leeds brewery has been fantastic. Moreover, there are some amazing classic browns and bests around, which seem to taste all the nicer after being drowned in IPAs.

Andrew's had his eye on Congleton's Beartown Brewery for ages. They've a great rep but he's never found any to try, until now. The Citra Smash and Inception have jumped the queue and could make the pumps this weekend. Let us know what you think. #Beersky #BskyBeer

Andrew recently joined Adrian and Rob @wishbonebrewery.bsky.social to help them with a 2000 litre brew of our popular Gaggle Lager. Thanks for making him so welcome, although he wouldn't have minded a hand with the mash. The first kegs arrived this week and it's now officially #GF. 👍

3/ Another asset, a sensational and reasonably priced beer offer thanks to Andrew's hard work. Our selection today. #Beersky Can particularly recommend Pangoltergeist from Tartarus, at 6.2% the black IPA is not for sessions but it's complex and delicious.

We need more help in our woodland on Sunday for a second go at the balsam. We're nearly there, so if you can spare an hour or two between 1030 and 130, we'd be super grateful and there's a pint in it for you. Wear trousers and long sleeves though ⚠️

1/ It's BLACK IPA MAY. 🖤 Andrew's found us three crackers. First up, Trail Mix, a collaboration between two great breweries, Coley's Brewery and Weekend Project. It's actually one half of the collaboration, alongside a white IPA, made with 50% wheat. #BskyBeer

Four pump badges on a brown wooden table. Trail Mix, black and white IPAs, both 5.2%, Pangoltergeist a hazy black at 6.2%, and Torrside's I'm not Spartacus, a Collab with Wigan Central.

We're busy sprucing up our multi-storey beer garden for the summer. Slabs and canopy have been jet washed, new furniture ordered, planting this weekend and a wall repaired. The garden is such a refuge when Hebden is full of visitors each weekend.

Love and solidarity to our friends down the hill at Drink? #HebdenBridge who've sadly had to deal with some bigoted visitors this weekend. Our places are safe spaces and not the place for you.

Yesterday we had an incident in the bar.

We're pretty disgusted by it and we're gutted that it happened in our bar (as we're woke, lefty, liberal do gooders and we're proud), we'd like to extend our apologies to the family that had to suffer the indignity of their paths crossing with bigots, we really do strive to make the bar a safe space

Jago, our team member dealt with the men as soon as he realised what was happening,
As the men left (were kicked out by Jago) one of them said
"Come on, we're getting kicked out for our views"
I'd like it to stand on record that that is exactly why they were kicked out.
If your views are racist, dont come
If your views are homophobic, dont come
If your views are misogynistic or misandrist, dont come
If your views are transphobic, dont come.

If you have wound up in our bar and you hold those views, keep your damn mouth shut.
There's loads to talk about that cant be labled a hate crime, stick to those easy and numerous topics (and ni-one will ever find out that youre terrible).

We dont care if you think we're the thought police for telling you that hate crimes will not be tolerated in our establishment.
We are a freehouse, you're on our property and we sell a controlled substance. Youre here by consent and not by right, cross any lines that we dont consent to and you can find somewhere else to drink immediately.

Racist?

Drink - somewhere else.

Black text on white reads: No place for homophobia, fascism, sexism, racism, hate.

When we say we couldn't fit in any more beer for our Easter tap takeover, we really couldn't. 13 casks and five kegs: our store is absolutely jammed. The rest of this week's deliveries had to go straight into the cellar leaving it looking pretty packed too. As for that takeover... 👀 1/2
