I wouldn't claim to have visited many micropubs, but The Beer Engine, Skipton is my favourite to date. The beer has always been top notch and the usual friendly welcome was particularly warm, on our last visit, when we called just before Christmas.

A quiet month, avoiding the crowds. A trip to Redcar saw a visit to the pleasant Gypsy Rover on the seafront and some excellent Vanilla Porter.
