Hop not hate at the Fox this week. First time on for Bini Brew Co's Chairman Miaow. It'll be followed by Fermentress, an IWD special from Horsforth Brewery, and Westfall from @torrside.bsky.social, both of which will be excellent. It's going to be a great weekend. #BskyBeer #Beersky

Not at the pub today but if I was I'd be sampling this black IPA from @brasscastlebeer.bsky.social. Bloody love a black IPA. 🖤

Does your week already feel like this? Yes? Why not try a beer? Here are three of our current selection, from @abbeydalebeers.bsky.social, @wishbonebrewery.bsky.social and Nightjar.

#GLUTENFREE TAP TAKEOVER INCOMING. Andrew's experimenting with a GF diet so he's decided we'll have a GF tap takeover. Happily loads of breweries are now making GF beer so we're spoilt for choice. From Friday 27th Feb we'll have GF beer across 5 hand pumps and 3 keg lines. 1/3 #BskyBeer

If you've not caught this yet it's well worth a look. @laurenleek.eu uses machine learning to explore where pubs are closing and how their location and ownership models influence that. Have a read, see what you think. We obvs agree with Lauren's observations on the value of cooperative ownership.

Musings on the recent and current state of Keighley's Taylor's brewery by @chrisd55.bsky.social, featuring a number of ghost pubs around Calderdale. The brewery has just pushed another round of closures chrisdyson55.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-ta...

Top'o't'Pumps this week. Moonlight, a traditional stout from Serious Brewing Company. Plouton from Neepsend, a Black IPA, hopped with Mosaic and Sorachi.🖤 Then Get Behind Me Satan from Nightjar, a 7% Baltic Porter made with 20kg of roasted cacao nibs. Nice. #BskyBeer

Quite interesting the idea of the pub as a political vehicle. Feels very apt that clumsy attempts by politicians to appropriate them is completely at odds with their potential political agency, which feels very much more grassroots and bottom up than top down. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Gnn. It's happened again. The A646 is closed between #HebdenBridge & #Todmorden because of a void. No idea why they leave them under the road in the first place. You can still reach us by foot, by bike, by train or by car via a scenic route over t'tops. Honestly? You shouldn't be driving anyway.

*trigger warning* It has come to our attention that tomorrow is Monday. Again. #HebdenBridge

What could be more romantic than a night of quasi-folk punk this Valentine's Day? Courtesy of Last Night Of The Lights, whose Bandcamp is here: lastnightofthelights1.bandcamp.com/album/please... Starts 8pm. Beer will be served. #HebdenBridge

One of #HebdenBridge's best pubs is under threat of disappearing, and the community hasn't been given the chance to save it as a community enterprise. Please sign the petition www.change.org/p/save-the-h... and consider objecting to the planning application (by Tues 3rd) to save the Hare & Hounds.

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 north is absolutely blessed with great breweries, and we endeavour to bring you the best of them. Some of them even come from Lancashire. Right now we have beers from Sheffield, Knaresborough, Ellerton, Ramsbottom, Rochdale and Keighley. Oh and a 0% from Edinburgh. #BSkyBeer #BeerSky

This evening, and every Monday.

OK people, let's science this. #BurnsNight

People of #HebdenBridge! And indeed all of you who drink at the Fox. Guess what? You're our community and we need your brains to help us plan our co-op's future. Loads of you have responded to this quick consultation already but we're THIRSTY for your perspectives. Details below. 👇

Have you tried our weekly quiz? £1 per person, with a percentage of the pot donated to charity, the winning team takes the rest! It's what Monday evenings were made for. #HebdenBridge

You asked! @wishbonebrewery.bsky.social has just delivered. Can't think of a better way to mark the end of dry January than with another pin of one of last year's favourites. Not sure we can wait a week and a half though... Follow us on @realalefinder.com to make sure you don't miss out.

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.

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.
