Northern Monk Brew Co. owns 1 brewery:
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.

440ml can at Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy dank, pine needles. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, smooth, juicy melon, pineapple, dry grassy hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish chocolate, slightly "hopjesvla", vanilla, "koetjesreep". Pff not my kind of beer tbh. Too sweet.

440ml can @ Benzai's Anti-Carnival Valentine's Day Tasting, Feb 26. Pours dark, unclear, with a good tan head. Lots of gooey marshmallows from the off.. sweet and then some.. marginal chocolate cookie notes.. not my go-to adjunct stout but achieves its purpose well.

0,33 can. Nagyon szép mély, mahagóni szín, kitöltéskor sötét barna habbal, ami hamar elillant, de előtte szép volt. Aroma: teljes mértékben visszaadja azt, ami rá van írva: csokoládé, karamell, keksz. Nagyon jó az illata, és intenzív is. Jóval testesebbnek tűnik az 5,2 %-hoz képest ivás közben. Nagyon jó, kerek, édeskés, testes, kekszes, és alapjában véve nagyon csokis, finom hatás. Kiemelkdően finom ízesített porter, nagyon nagyon ajánlatos! Lecsengése kesernyés, kávés, mégis aszalt szilvás, nagyon jó.

Can picked up from Morrisons, Leominster, Herefordshire and consumed at Jude and Baz's, shared with Baz at Spond, Herefordshire listening to New Music Fix with Nathan Shepherd and Deb Grant on 6Music Tuesday 3rd March 2026. Pours hazy slightly murky yellow with a mid sized white head. Aroma is a little exotic, with hints of pineapple but then some apricots, peach and then melon. Taste is more weighted towards citrus with pink grapefruit a little lemony but some apricot and peach, the mouthfeel is very soft. Not bad at all, pretty decent stuff. Score 7.3
