Brew York to open today in historic Knaresborough pub
Brew York acquired the pub, whose future appeared uncertain after it closed last year.
The Mitre is one of three venues taken over by the independent brewery via an agreement with Market Town Taverns.
Brew York, which was founded in 2016 on Walmgate in York by Wayne Smith and Lee Grabham, has also acquired the Horse & Farrier in Otley and Coopers Bar and Brasserie in Guiseley.

The Mitre, which opened in 1923, is next to Knaresborough’s grade two listed train station. The venue has a large central bar, function room, outdoor seating area and rooms to let.
Brew York beers are on offer from traditional hand-pull cask and keg. The pub has best sellers such as Juice Forsyth, a fruited Indian Pale Ale, Tonkoko, a milk stout and Golden Eagle, a Czech style pilsner on tap.
All Brew York beers are brewed in York either at the original brewery on Walmgate or at the main production facility in Osbaldwick.
Over the bank holiday weekend Frango Eduardo will be serving Portuguese chicken while details of permanent food offerings are finalised.
