An Otley microbrewery is opening its doors to lonely people in the town by providing a ‘friendly’ place to talk.
Ian Shutt, the owner of the brewery who works in accounting during the day, began his Wednesday night ‘Tap Room Talks’ as a way of giving back to the community.
He said: “Why not try to think outside the box a little bit and if I can benefit the community then it gets paid back. You know what Otley’s like, if you organise something people will come and everyone’s been really friendly.
