{"title":"Northern Monk","description":"\u003cp\u003eNorthern Monk is a brewery from Leeds in West Yorkshire, started in 2013 by Russell Bisset. The brewery operates from a Grade II-listed mill building in Holbeck and makes IPAs, pale ales, stouts and low-alcohol beers. In 2016, Eternal Session IPA won bronze at the World Beer Cup. At Hoptimaal you'll mostly find their IPAs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--verhaal--\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Northern Monk began in Leeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRussell Bisset started Northern Monk in July 2013. He didn't have much money, so he chose 'cuckoo brewing': brewing small batches at other breweries while building a brand. This model is also known as gypsy brewing. For the brewing itself, he approached the award-winning home brewer David Bishop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first batches of New World IPA and Strannik Imperial Stout came from Hambleton's Ales in Ripon, North Yorkshire. That brewery normally made classic styles such as bitter, exclusively for cask. The first two beers were launched at a party at The Sparrow in Bradford.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe company is based in a Grade II-listed mill building in Holbeck, in the centre of Leeds, a district that was in the middle of the Industrial Revolution. The address is The Old Flax Store in Marshalls Mill. The Refectory bar is also part of Northern Monk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe beer and style of Northern Monk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew World became the brewery's core IPA. Strannik kept coming back as a winter seasonal beer. In 2016, Eternal Session IPA won bronze in the Session IPA category at the World Beer Cup. That made Northern Monk the first British brewery with a medal in an IPA category at an American beer competition, among 110 competitors in that category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe range is wide: IPAs, pale ales, stouts and low-alcohol beers. On their own site you can see recent releases such as an 8.4% West Coast DIPA and an 8.2% double chocolate mudcake stout, alongside a 5.6% hazy pale ale. They say themselves that they want to make the best beer experiences in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNorthern Monk at Hoptimaal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith us, it's all about the IPAs from Northern Monk, in 44 cl.

Highly rated on Untappd are PATRONS PROJECT 53.01 (an NZ IPA), PATRONS PROJECT 20.06 (a West Coast DIPA) and REIMAGINED DREAM LINE FORMS ONE \/\/ SKGN, an AF HAZY IPA.

That keeps the aroma and bitterness sharp. A DIPA of 8% or more tastes best from a tulip or stemmed glass, so the aroma has room to open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!--faq--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does Northern Monk come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorthern Monk comes from Leeds in West Yorkshire, England.
