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.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Clear gold beer, thin pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, good fine carbonation. Thin pale malts bring a light sweetness. Resinous citric hops, some citric peel which carries through the light finish and lingers on. Hop spice remains. Nice.
