IT’S cheers to a new craft beer shop in Shipley which sells drinks, art and music for sale.

The Triangle, based in Bradford Road, has opened its doors in the town and is run by co-owners Gavin Hird and Harry Wheeler.

It will initially stock around 140 different craft beers from around the world – but is already looking to expand its range.

Tasty drinks from Saltaire and Ilkley Brewery’s collections will be stocked alongside craft beers from across Europe and the USA.

The shop’s tagline is ‘art, beer and curiosities’ as it will also have art pieces on sale from artists Oliver Nielson and Yan Wang.

It hopes to feature other local artists in the future to promote the district’s creative scene.
