Description
Kirkstall Brewery was inspired by the rich brewing history of Kirkstall village, which later formed part of the city of Leeds. The brewing company boasts a rich history spanning from the 12th century, where the Cistercian monks founded Kirkstall Abbey and began the area’s brewing legacy. The original Kirkstall Brewery was founded in 1871 and was in operation till 1983 when it was closed by its last owners, Whitbread. The buildings have been well preserved and are now home to students of Leeds Metropolitan University. The new Kirkstall Brewery is located on the Leeds Liverpool canal, in the shadow of the original brewery, reviving the tradition of brewing in Kirkstall and the inspiration to once again make the name famous for great beer.

Cask @ Port Street Beer House, Manchester. Golden with a thin head. Dense and somewhat strong, but it's palatable enough with a slightly sticky-sweet texture and taste.

Cask at the Hole in the Wall, Brighton on 28th August 2023. Clear gold with shallow whitish foam and pattern lacing. Zesty hop aroma with a hint of soapiness. Exquisitely hoppy in-mouth with citrus, delicate spices and savoury nuttiness. A finish of tangy fruits. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.

Keg @ Port Street Beer House, Manchester. Hazy golden with a thin head. Fairly sour and fairly carbonated so its apricot flavours are kept low here.
