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.

Keg at the Euston Tap - London. Shared with Ken-O during our excursion. Pours clear gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Some bready malts in there, light tangy tangerine. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Light toasty doughy bread to finish, some orange and further tangerine. Decent.

Cask at CP&K. It pours darkest brown (near black) with small beige head. The nose is scortched earth, leather, roasted malt, charcoal and pepper. The taste is wood, earth, dark fruit, berry, roasted malt, toast, decent bitterness and charcoal with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A solid porter all-round.
