This week’s news features a whole load of craft ale – plus a Halloween party and a new diner for the city…
Northern Monk (pictured) takes over at Common
Cult craft brewery Northern Monk is upping sticks from Leeds for a very special tap takeover at NQ favourite Common this Thursday. Northern Monk blends traditional monastic brewing values with a progressive approach to ingredients and techniques to create its range of stellar beers – including True North, Monacus and New World IPA to name a few. For this takeover, the brewery plans to take over seven of Common’s lines across keg and cask, promising rarities alongside established Northern Monk classics.
