Cwrw Otley

05/10/2026

Hygiene in brewing… not the most glamorous part of the job but definitely one of the most important!

Because brewing b**r is the easier part, butt - keeping everything spotless is where the real work starts!

One rogue microbe and suddenly your pale ale’s got ideas above its station! 😂

A little bit of Bunch history for National Cask Ale Week Cask Marque with some classic cask handpulls! 🍺

Rob and Alf Otley took on the Bunch in 1986. Back then, the average pint was around 82p!

By 2000, when Nick took over the Bunch, the average cask pint had reached around £1.82!

Things have changed a bit since then!

Paul, Rob and Nick were all raised in the pub trade thanks to Alf and between them have all run a number of successful pubs across Wales over the past few decades.

Here they are at the Otley Arms - another little piece of Otley pub history which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2025.

Not a bad journey!🍻
