## About

From a cellar in Bradford and a dream of a brewery that was Fresh from the North, we set out to make the best beer in the world. We felt that beer in the UK was either traditional and British—brilliant in many ways but often outdated in others—or ‘craft’ with a fresh approach, yet lacking a true sense of place, often lacking authenticity and meaning. We set out on a mission to create some of the best beer experiences in the world, Fresh from the North. Since then, we have grown to be one of the most popular craft breweries in the UK. In 2014, Northern Monk was truly born. We found our home and our own brewery was set up in a Grade II listed abandoned mill building in Leeds, The Old Flax Store. It’s still our home today. And as Northern Monk grew, so did our reputation. From Faith, our flagship Hazy Pale Ale and one of the first New England style beers to be brewed in the UK, to our unique Patrons Projects series, we’re committed to always being Fresh from the North, growing in stature as we grow in scale, and collaborating with some of the best creatives and breweries in the world.
