Reece Dinsdale likes his real ale

Reece Dinsdale, better known as Coronation Street's Joe McIntyre visited the Copper Dragon brewery in Skipton this week and was given a tour of the new £4m brewery by the head brewer.

Reece said: “It’s great to finally have a look around and taste the wares. I have to say the Copper Dragon range of ales are as distinctive as they are refreshing. Watch out Newton and Ridley – there’s a new kid on the block!”

Head brewer Mr Wilkinson said: “We might try and become a guest ale at the most famous pub on TV to help him feel at home.”
