The Glass Blower

A child friendly bar serving food with WiFi in Castleford.

Details

Castleford and glass-making once went hand in hand. The industry is recalled in the name of this Wetherspoon pub.

During the 19th century, glassworks sprang up all over Castleford - the first glasshouse opening in 1829. Glass production became the staple trade of the town, turning out bottles by the million, for both export and for home use. At first, bottles were handmade, but, in due course, automation was introduced and, inevitably, many small firms closed. The last of Castleford's bottle manufacturers closed its doors in the early 1980s.

Doom Bar is a perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours, Doom Bar is both satisfying and deliciously moreish. Tasting Notes: “The aroma of Doom Bar combines an accomplished balance of spicy resinous hop, inviting sweet malt and delicate roasted notes. The mouth feel is a perfectly balanced and complex blend of succulent dried fruit, lightly roasted malty notes and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes which implore the drinker to go back for more.” Stuart Howe, Head Brewer.

As a permanent beer Stone Faced is available throughout the year, a traditional amber bitter. Tasting Notes: Pale and Dark Crystal Maris Otter malts unite to embrace a motherland of chewy toffee while fruits and berry flavours rush in.
