Beard Liberation Front
10th August
Former Beard Friendly Pub of the Year up for sale
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has sent best wishes to Shaun and Maxine who run the Maltings pub in York with the news that it is up for sale.
Shaun and Maxine have run the Maltings for 31 years and it has become an iconic pub known throughout the country and a regular in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.
While the landlord Shaun Collinge appears to have never knowingly worn a beard the Maltings was named as a Beard Friendly Pub of the Year in a 2021 vote.
The Beard Friendly Pub accolade is of course about beards but its also about a pub that has a welcoming and friendly ambience along with excellent beer. The Maltings easily meets those requirements.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Shaun and Maxine have run a pub that sums up what beard friendly is all about and we wish them well for the future.
