This week, Beercast: Leeds gets serious about the business of brewing.
Join Larry & Paul at one of the biggest success stories of the industry: North Brewing Co.
After describing Leeds as a “bar desert” in the 90s – hear how North went from John Smith’s sellers, to Leeds legends.
Our lovely chat with John and Sarah comes from the comfort of North’s amazing Springwell site.
We’ll also hear from some of the new kids on the block. Not Jordan or Donnie, (although check if they fancy being guests?) – but the brilliant Dave’s Pies on Kirkstall Road. It’s the remarkable story of how a lockdown tryst with a cast iron pie-press went incredibly right.
How easy is it to set up in brewing? How daunting is the business side? The lovely Sunbeam Ales welcome us to their “out of control hobby” in Bramley.
We add a cracking venue to Leeds’ Ultimate Beer Crawl, get another history lesson from beer writing legend Simon Jenkins, and continue our quest to find the smartest on the Leeds beer scene in our quiz Brew Wants To Be A Millionaire.
