There were celebrations all round when a Keighley pub was presented with a prestigious award for the third time in less than two years.

The Brewery Arms has been named as Yorkshire Regional Pub of the Year by CAMRA - the Campaign for Real Ale.

The ale-house, off Worth Way, is owned by the Worth Brewery, which refurbished the building about two years ago.

To help celebrate the award, brewery owner John Mitchell and pub manager Kelvin Lyle organised a beer festival.

A delighted Mr Lyle says: "We are very pleased with the award. We pride ourselves on running a friendly pub."

The latest award marks a hat-trick of achievements for the pub. In September it was named by the Keighley and Craven branch of CAMRA as the branch's pub of the season and 12 months ago received the CAMRA accolade of most improved pub.

The pub was chosen from a number nominated by branches throughout the region. It was selected after a special panel visited all those in contention to sample their service.
