Description
Our beer is brewed across two sites. The first is our original brewery at the Old Flax Store, this is where we began our journey in 2014, and is home to our LDS tap room. We expanded into our second much larger brewery, Sydenham Road, in April 2017. Between both sites we can brew up to 18 beers at a time.
The Old Flax Store is a Grade II listed building located in Holbeck, the spiritual heart of the industrial revolution. In 2014 we turned this derelict mill into a brewery, tap room and events space. This building is home to our first brewery, which takes up the ground floor of the building. Our second brewing site is also located in Holbeck, half a mile away at Sydenham Road, where 8 x 100HL conical FVs enable our total capacity at this site to reach 24,000HL.

Bottle from the Northern Monk stand at Leeds International Beer Festival. Almost black. Thin, beige head. Aroma is big and complex. Roasted coffee, roasted malt, some black cherry. Pear drops in there too. 90% plus chocolate. Taste is very bitter, but not harsh. Finish is initially surprisingly sweet. Then salt. Then very dry. I’m going to stick a couple in the cellar for a year or so. Potential to be a cracker!
