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.

Hand-pulled pint in the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham on 30th Aug 2014. Poured a clear golden hue with a full white head. Piney, resinous hop nose and taste with a good bitterness from the start in the flavour. Malts hide behind the strong hop front. Dry finish and most enjoyable.
