Fuggle & Golding: Ilkley craft beer bar is saved by Horsforth Brewery
A craft beer bar in a Yorkshire spa town has been saved from the threat of closure.
Horsforth Brewery has taken ownership of Fuggle & Golding, the craft beer bar in Ilkley, West Yorkshire. A spokesman said the acquisition secures the future of one of Ilkley’s established beer venues and secures Horsforth Brewery’s first permanent site in the town.
"The venue will continue to operate as a specialist craft beer bar, with a refreshed product mix that includes a strong presence of Horsforth Brewery beers alongside a curated range of guest breweries.”
Mark Costello, Founder of Horsforth Brewery, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be taking over such an established and respected business. Fuggle & Golding has been a staple of the Ilkley beer scene, and when we saw it was closing we were determined not to lose another important independent venue. Hospitality is really struggling at the moment but our commitment to sustainable growth means we’ve been able to organically grow our business to the next level and are confident this will be a success.”
