Fight me on this....
Currently sampling a series of craft beer joints in Harrogate prior to trundling over to Preston in the morning.
Bar 1. Nice place. Friendly, relaxed, keen to offer samples of everything. 14 items on the draft list 2 of which are cask ales. Of the first 12 9 are ipa pale ale of some description. NINE! Then there's a radler and 2 pils lagers. The cask stuff? A session ipa and a pale ale... Not a proper ale or anything other than ipa to be had, basically.
Bar 2. Lots of ipa.... Also some wheat beer. Hooray! However, each of the 4 wheat beers has fecking fruit in it. Why? No ale. Nothing Belgian or proper weissebeer styles. Just ipas.... The same endless slop that comes in overly colourful cartoony cans in the supermarket.
So it's lager again. [Post edited 22 Aug 19:21]

Seek cask ales, not craft ales. Trust me.
You'll thank me when you're as old as me. |  | | |

I am well aware of the virtues of cask ale. What I don't get is a place putting on two casks and making them fecking ipas to add to the other 9 on the menu! | | | |

Blackfriars in Yarmouth. Eastern Region CAMRA pub of the year his year.
10 real ales including 2 from it's own brewery. 4 Dark beers. 60+ real ciders, 120 bottled and draft Belgian beers.
It's grim but I manage to cope. But what to have next ? |  | | |

Reminds McSorley's in New York. They only do light or dark beer. Both excellent. |  |

I blame social media.
Was one of those establishments the Harrogate Tap by any chance? |  | | |

I used to be into craft beers but, quite frankly, I swerve them now. I find that after a couple my palate becomes 'blind' so revert back to something more normal. Somewhere like North Bar in Leeds works well in respect that its possible to have a drink thats different but not too ' crafty.' |  | | |

The tap did have some reasonable craft beers, but I'm going back a few months now, so it's possible it's no better now than the two places you've tried | | | |
