Sneak Peek: Cheers! New Harrogate craft beer bar opens today
Danny Duckworth and Tom Gill are set to open the Husk Beer Emporium on Station Square. The Stray Ferret went for a sneak peek at the new bar and bottle shop.
Craft beer lovers in Harrogate can rejoice as a new town centre bar is set to open today.
Husk Beer Emporium and Bar, which is situated on Station Square, will showcase local and UK wide beers.
Joint owners Danny Duckworth and Tom Gill opted for the venture as a natural progression from their shop on Kings Road.
Mr Duckworth told the Stray Ferret that the pair felt the time was right to move towards opening a bar.
He said:
“We have had the shop for three years and we like to think that has created the awareness of world beer in Harrogate.”
Food, drink and an 'Aladdin's cave' of beers
The bar will sell food and drink, including a draught line with everything from German lager to hazy pale ales.
For Mr Duckworth, part of the reason for setting up to bar was to create a place which will also offer affordable, interesting beers.
Three of the draughts on sale will be under £5, enabling people who may not normally opt for a craft beer to be able to try them.
Those who are enthusiastic about their beers will also be to try the “Aladdin’s cave” of unique brews downstairs.

Customers will be able to design their own grilled cheese sandwiches, while cocktail lovers can sample a range of drinks.
Dogs and children will also be welcome in Husk.
In the long-term, there is also an ambition to put live music on for those who like songs to go with their craft beer.
Crucially for Danny, the aim of the new bar is to create a place for everyone to drink - not just beer enthusiasts.
He said:
“We wanted to create a place where we would want to drink.”
Husk Beer Emporium and Bar will be open from midday today.
