Copper Dragon Brewery will be opening their doors tomorrow for the first time in their brand-spanking new premises. I was lucky enough to have a sneak preview this morning of both the brewhouse and the visitors centre - and a fine morning it was too.
Despite the inclement Yorkshire weather, MD Steve Taylor was in a fine mood - which we quickly caught on was his usual demeanour - especially when showing us round the brewhouse. Despite being caught up in paperwork and the day-to-day running of Copper Dragon, the brewery - including the brewing process and ingredients - is clearly still something he cherishes and is reluctant to compromise on. And the brewhouse is spectacular - the custom-made fermenting vessels and Mash Tun rise high into the ceiling space like gleaming monoliths, and everywhere hisses and bubbles with steam and industry.

"hisses and bubbles with steam and industry - Fantastic phrase, another well thought out well written piece, a pleasure to read.
Oh by the way I was telling Pete about your brewing exploits tonight and he was very chuffed for you.
Great news. I just wish their excellent brews were more easy to find here in London.
Sounds like a good day out (on the train of course- you have to make sure your able to sample the goods)
John - thanks fella! High praise indeed! Ten inch - from the way that CD seems to looking, I can't see it being too long before thier beers get more exposure down south. Katie - absolutely - or find yourself a designated driver who's happy to accept mug after mug of brewer's tea!
Gagagaah...as crazy as you are for my American diner grub, I go gaga for good fish and chips with mushy peas. We should swap homes for a month sometime.
heather, its a deal. you take me on a diner tour and i'll make sure you get the finest fish and chips Yorkshire has to offer!!!!
Are they ok? Heard one or two rumours recently that they've over-stretched and are looking to make cutbacks - maybe off-load a pub or two.
alright will - Steve Taylor, the MD who hosted the tour and lunch, certainly gave no indication to that - although he probably wouldnt to me...I could'nt possibly comment!
