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.

Gulbrun med noe kremet skum. Lett og frisk. Lukter og smaker mildt av grapefrukt og andre sitrusfrukter. Forfriskende.

Took a bit of a ribbing from the locals for unwittingly pulling off the pump clip to read it and not being able to get it back on - it was way too dark at the bar with a dark clip in my defence!!! Solid Barley Wine with its Barrel Ageing evident and a positive in taste. Not the strongest in the style but strong and sticky-sweet enough here.
