North Brewing Co. x Northern Monk – Hit The North Brut IPA

Description

One of two collab brews for the second iteration of Hit The North with Northern Monk and North Brewing – two IPAs brewed on the same day. Both beers were brewed with the same hop and malt bills, using different yeast strains to create different IPA styles. North Brewing Co went for this Brut IPA while Northern Monk chose a juicy NEIPA.

About the brewery

North Brewing Co was founded in 2015 by John Gyngell and Christian Townsley, the pioneers behind legendary Leeds beer venue North Bar, which opened in 1997. Known as “the first craft beer bar in Britain”, North Bar influenced a new wave of modern beer bars and breweries across the country, including their own. In 2015 they turned their 10-year dream of making their own beer into a reality by opening a 15bbl brewery, featuring a 200-person capacity tap room, just half a mile from their original flagship North Bar in Leeds. The core range and seasonal specials epitomise what they look for in beer: big juicy flavours with tonnes of hops; fun, playful and interesting flavour combinations; classics that demonstrate an uncompromising approach to quality. North Brewing Company has received both national and international recognition.
