Northern Monk

Location: West Yorkshire

Northern Monk is an independent brewery based in West Yorkshire, dedicated to creating some of the best beer experiences in the world. Founded in 2013 by just two people brewing from a parent’s cellar, the brewery has since grown into one of the North’s fastest-rising drinks companies, now employing over a hundred people. Under the leadership of Head Brewer Russell, Northern Monk continues to push boundaries with bold, inventive beers that showcase both technical excellence and creative flair.

At the heart of Northern Monk’s philosophy lies creativity, community, and collaboration. They work closely with like-minded breweries, artists, and organisations from across the UK and beyond, forging partnerships that celebrate shared values and drive positive change. Through these collaborations, Northern Monk not only crafts exceptional beers but also contributes to strengthening the North’s cultural and social landscape — proving that great beer can be a force for good.
