Being a keen beer drinker I was extremely pleased to be invited to the Little Valley Brewery, to help celebrate its new look and the launch of its eighth bottle conditioned ale – the Python IPA.
Deputy Mayor and Mayoress of Calderdale, Coun Peter Wardhaugh and Mrs Jennifer Pearson were also at the brewery to open the event, which was attended by more than 100 representatives from the brewing industry and local businesses. During my speech, I spoke of how Little Valley had done wonders for Hebden Royd in attracting people to the area – with most of its beers named after local places and landmarks: Withens Pale Ale, Cragg Vale Bitter, Tod’s Blonde, Hebden’s Wheat, Stoodley Stout and Moor Ale. I congratulated them also on their recent 6th anniversary of being a major and successful business in our area.

World renowned beer writer Roger Protz was guest speaker at the event and remarked on the high quality of ale being produced by the brewery. The Python IPA is to feature on Mr Protz’s blog, , as his ‘Beer of the Month’ for August.
I would like to express special thanks to Wim van der Spek and Sue Cooper, owners of Little Valley, and wish them every success for the new look.
Enjoying the fantastic new beer
Many supermarkets and local shops have this fantastic beer range on sale and I can highly recommend it.
