Quirky Ales is a small microbrewery based in Garforth near Leeds. Previously famous for the being the birthplace of Chris Silverwood and some bloke from the Kaiser Chiefs, Garforth is sure to become better known as the birthplace of Quirky Ales. We produce high-quality cask-conditioned real ales, and a variety of bottle-conditioned beers. We don’t want to give away all our secrets, but we can tell you that our founder, Mike Quirk (does it make sense now?) and our brewers Aaron Getliffe and Simon Mustill use the finest local ingredients, sourced from maltsters in nearby Castleford, and design bold, contemporary recipes. Aaron and Simon produce the ‘Quirky’ nature of the beers by combining the local malt with a wide variety of English and American hops.
