CAMRA Real Ale Award
‘Ilkley pub takes CAMRA award’. REAL ale fans across Bradford District have raised their glasses to an Ilkley pub.
Members of the Bradford branch of CAMRA – the campaign for Real Ale – voted for Ilkley Riverside Hotel on Bridge Lane as the area’s Pub of the Season.
Representatives of the organisation, which campaigns for and promotes traditional pubs and real ales, visited Ilkley to hand over the award. CAMRA members regularly nominate and vote for their district Pub of the Season, and also hand out Pub of the Year awards.
Landlady, Kristine Dobson, said the pub had featured in the Good Beer Guide, but it had never won an award before. “I’m just delighted that our beers is that good,” she said. However, she gave credit to her son, Kelvin, who she said keeps the pub’s ales in “Tip-top condition”.
