Northern Monk

Top choice in Leeds


So successful has this craft brewery become that its beers are now stocked in UK supermarkets. But it's best drunk at the source, in the brewery's Grade II–listed taproom just south of Leeds city centre in the regeneration 'hood of Holbeck. Draft options run the gamut from hoppy IPAs or rich porters to small-batch collaborations and guest beers; brewery tours also available.

The brewery also supports fledgling local food businesses by running a rotating kitchen residency; on one visit you might get Thai, on another jerk chicken, but it's always good.
