Copper Dragon Brewery is a brewery originally established in Skipton, North Yorkshire, in 2002.[1][2]

The brewery produces four permanent cask ales:[3] Golden Pippin, a blonde beer at 3.9% abv, also available in 500ml bottles, Best Bitter a traditional Northern-style ale at 3.8% abv, also available in 500ml bottles, Scott's 1816, created to commemorate the original Skipton brewery,[4][1][5] and Silver Myst a 4.0% pilsner.

After a period in Keighley, Copper Dragon Brewery returned to Skipton in October 2020.[6] in association with Recoil Brewing Co. of Clitheroe, Lancashire, and the original brewing team of Gordon Wilkinson, Dave Sanders and Matthew Taylor.[7][8]
