## About

Kirkstall Brewery is an independent craft brewery based in Leeds, founded in 2011 and inspired by a rich local brewing heritage that dates back to the monks of Kirkstall Abbey and the historic Kirkstall Brewery Company (1833–1983).

We specialise in brewing modern, full-flavoured beers with balance and drinkability at their core. Our range spans hop-forward pale ales and IPAs, crisp lagers, traditional cask ales, and limited-edition specials—each brewed with precision, consistency, and respect for both classic and contemporary styles.

As a Leeds brewery, we’re proud to be part of Yorkshire’s thriving beer scene, supplying pubs, bars, and independent venues across the UK. Our beers are designed for both craft beer enthusiasts and everyday drinkers, delivering quality whether served on cask, keg, or in package.
