Congratulations to Hull's New Clarence! Looks like the community saved a beautiful space. www.thenewclarence.com

New to #HebdenBridge? You'll be wanting to read up on our Hebden Lore, like this part of our local story.

Local lad this one.

Today's starting line up, with 3 extra we're hoping to try over the weekend. Z Rod from Pictish is a real treat for their many fans. A stronger ale they've not brewed for 5 years. This is the only cask in #Calderdale, don't dawdle, the first cask flew out. #BeerSky #HebdenBridge 1/2

Our pleasure, we bloody love folk.

Our congratulations to Jo and her team at the Robin Hood in Cragg Vale for winning our local CAMRA pub of the season, it's a lovely boozer.

Happy New Year! 2026 will be an exciting one for us: we're celebrating TWELVE YEARS as a co-operative and working on a long-term plan for our future. And guess what? We'd love to hear your thoughts on what this might look like... 1/2 #HebdenBridge

The hills are alive.

Sadly the historic Stubbing Wharf pub visited by Plath, Hughes and latterly Haslam ceased trading on Jan 2, citing financial difficulties caused by flooding, a prolonged road closure and rising prices. It's tough out there. 🙁

Had to break my journey at Hebden Bridge- what a place @foxandgoose.org is. Great pub,great beer

How festive are we you ask? Well, we're Barley Wine festive! 🌟❄️🌟 @redwillowbrewery.bsky.social Penny Less Barley Wine to be precise, fresh on this afternoon and promising decadent layers of chocolate, dates and figs. Pop in if you're in the neighbourhood.

Tomorrow! Some old time mountain music in #HebdenBridge

An event in Hebden Bridge celebrating 25 years of the CRoW Act spurs on the movement for further land access rights in England and Wales By Andrew Bibby yorkshirebylines.co.uk/region/right...

Tonight! 7-10pm! The Bapchilds will be playing honky tonk western swing country music. With slide guitar, swing fiddle, four part harmony and a dash of Hank Williams. What’s not to like? #HebdenBridge

PSA We'll be closing early at 6pm on Wednesday 10th December so our lovely staff can go get their festive on at their Christmas party. Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Hitting the pumps this weekend. We have Christmas Kitty every year so this spiced vanilla porter should need no introduction, hope we've not overdone it by buying 3 casks. 🎅🐱 Blue Moon from Pictish is a classic full bodied British IPA, always a joy to drink. 1/2 #HebdenBridge

This Saturday, a little light old time mountain music from Square Peg, should it tickle you. #HebdenBridge

Ah well, now this is a nice thing. Reflections on favourite drinking spots, self, life and change. Thinking on, should it be the objective of a pub to create such spaces, and to hold them as we and the world change around them? No pressure then.

Here at the Fox and Goose, we believe in the power of community to create thriving places. This #CommunityBusinessWeek, let's celebrate all the businesses that make our towns, cities and communities vibrant, resilient and inclusive.

It's Community Business Week. Pubs are vital to communities and social cohesion, places where we can come together across divides in a warm and welcoming space. We're proud to be a community-owned pub. If you haven't discovered us yet, do drop by. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's #HebdenBridge Open Studios next weekend, here's a little taster of what's on offer. Experience suggests that trawling studios for excellent art is thirsty work, while a pint can help facilitate reflection on your haul.

HEBDEN BRIDGE CONFERENCE CALLS FOR MORE COUNTRYSIDE ACCESS: The anniversary this weekend of the 2000 Countryside & Rights of Way Act was marked with a national conference in Hebden Bridge which called for further government legislation on access to countryside. See HebWeb at www.hebdenbridge.co.uk

This weekend's Pick of the Pumps. Be quick if you want the Centennial Simcoe or Lupulin Pastilles, they're both delicious and flying out. And there's a reason Blimey, Chinook and Jamestown are all old favourites, they're all excellent and won't be on long either. 1/2

Keep going along the towpath, cross the canal bridge by the Little Theatre, continue on the opposite towpath, taking a right at the next bridge, then take a left up the hill after the Co-op and we're on the right at the traffic lights. You're welcome. 🍻 #HebdenBridge

*glances out of the window at the gloom We do keep banging on about the contents of our dark pump but by crikey, this Black Porter from @wishbonebrewery.bsky.social is looking pretty damn appealing as we slide towards the weekend.

Thinking of saving your pub? We did. @camraofficial.bsky.social now has the second of three short films online with communities who have already done so learn.camra.org.uk/courses/the-... So far its Community Owned Pubs series features London's Antwerp Arms and Yorkshire's Travellers Rest.

Want to stay up to date with what's happening at the Fox? Our lovely members and staff produce a quarterly newsletter. Just contact [email protected] to subscribe by email. Huge thanks to Katch Skinner for the Autumn newsletter sketch.

We've just invested in the brilliant Calder Valley Community Land Trust's @cvclt1.bsky.social's Northfield Project as part of our cooperative's commitment to supporting our wider community. You can see a video about the project here: youtu.be/4h87lTXFDMA #HebdenBridge #Heptonstall

2015 must have been a vintage year for new breweries. This week, #Rochdale's Serious Brewing Company celebrates its 10th anniversary. We're celebrating it too, with a range of their finest ales on this weekend, including their award winning Goldrush and Moonlight. Happy birthday!

If you've ever wondered about green hop beers and why they're so special, this piece on the 2025 green hop harvest is a great introduction. Thanks to @boakandbailey.bsky.social for signposting. www.seanislegend.com/green-hop-beer

Gale beer, #Yorkshire bog myrtle beer. No, we hadn't either. "Gale beer provides an example of how radically changing lifestyles and environmental conditions can alter our food and drink in only a few decades of historical change." www.pelliclemag.com/home/2025/9/...

Last weekend, one of the directors had promising results from initial trials investigating the concept of the 'homeopathic hair of the dog'. It's another exciting low/no application, in addition to them being very nice to drink when you really don't need any alcohol. Currently on. 👇

Excited for the day when we can make Fox and Goose t-shirts from the proteins in brewers yeast. cen.acs.org/materials/Br...

We leave no stone unturned in our quest for tasty brews for you. In this example travelling for 58 whole minutes to Hetton in the Yorkshire Dales. The object of our quest, the Dark Horse Brewery, our prize, their Hetton Pale and Nightjar brews.

No queuing at the bar, don't order cocktails, no table reservations and always buy your round. @pelliclemag.com's Essential Guide to Pub Etiquette will shortly be carved upon stone tablets and placed above the entrance to the toilets.

Like trees, fresh air and a nice view? Got some spare time on Fridays? You could do worse than...

In case you're wondering, our town #HebdenBridge isn't in a national park. Something mulled on by @jpspencer.bsky.social in this post. Not the first time a designation has been proposed for the South Pennines; an area named after an @ordnancesurvey.bsky.social map. 🙃

Freedom to roam? What's next? @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social looks back - and ahead - here gritstonecoop.co.uk/gritblog/cam... Come and join us to hear more, Hebden Bridge Nov 29 @ramblers.org.uk @amyjanebeer.bsky.social

Treat yourselves to some harrowing antics at the Fox this #Halloween weekend, or simply accept it as an elaborate justification to drink nice beer in a costume. We have goings on going on this Friday and Sunday, should you dare to join us. #HebdenBridge

We used to love an apple day at the Fox not sure we've got one this year, which is a shame given that it's been a bumper year for them. If you've ever wondered about the flavour of yours, this is a nice guide to why they taste like they do. 🍎🍏

Another day dawns in Hebbywood, West Yorkshire's hottest location for the production of moving pictures. If you're feeling the chill after gawping at drones and celebs all day, come and get your chops around this warming Parkin Stout from @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social

This October the pub's showcasing local mixed media abstract painter and poet, Florence Hutchinson. Florence works instinctually and spontaneously, drawn by emotion or a fragment of a memory. She also writes visceral poetry about folklore, strange local history, motherhood, botany and horror.

Looking forward to the arrival of this Green Hop Bitter from @runawaybrewery.bsky.social and @trackbrewingco.bsky.social featuring Fuggles, Prima Donna and Hersbrucker hops grown and harvested in Manchester of all places! A bumper harvest this year, by all accounts.

Can't think of a better place to spend a wet weekend than the pub. And to mark the end of #Oktoberfest we have a range of German style beers making their way to the pumps. Come down and try something different.

Understandable how quickly things like this could escalate.
