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]

In 2019 Copper Dragon made some new pale ales available, these were:
Penny Pale (3.5%), described as a pale ale made with Cascade and Dana hops.
Sidewinder (4.2%), an American pale ale, using Cascade, Simco and Magnum hops.
13 Steps (4.1%), another pale ale, this being produced in a limited edition though its not clear how limited.
They were all readily available at the 2019 Skipton Beer Festival, the festival nearest to the brewery's home.[10] Only Sidewinder is now on the normal product list (see table above).
