White Swan, Stokesley

Home of the Captain Cook Brewery, this friendly 18th-century pub, and winner of many local CAMRA awards, is located at the west end of this pretty market town. Up to six beers from the Captain Cook portfolio of ten beers are served, together with two guest beers, as well as two real ciders. Slipway and Sunset are always available, Endeavour is usually available, whilst there is always a dark beer available, either Black Porter or Schooner. Two beers have recently been added to the brewery's portfolio: Sandwich Islands, islands discovered by Captain Cook and named by him after the 4th Earl of Sandwich, and, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the brewery, Skippy, in memory of Brian Skipp, who started the brewery in 1999. Beer festivals, (up to 40 casks with limited space restricting these to 10 handpumps at a time), are held during Easter and in October. Craft beers are also available. Open-mic night is Tuesday, quiz night is Wednesday, while its live music night on Thursday. The sheltered outdoor drinking area overlooks the brewery, which is located just behind the pub. Over-18s only, please. Dogs are welcome.
