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.

Clear and golden with a slight chill haze and a bubbly white head. Soft citrus aroma, relatively fizzy with pine, sweet citrus, malt and a lump of glorious bitterness

Can from an Asda in Luton. Was craving a proper beer but as I have to collect number 2 daughter from the cinema it has to be AF. Looks like a lager in the glass and there is a definite aroma of wet dog on the nose. It's a typical AF, not a huge amount of flavour but it does the job

(Cask at King's Arms, Bethnal Green, London, 23 Nov 2024) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, coffee and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, dark chocolate, nuts, dark bread, hints of ashes and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Solid and well made porter. Very nice.
