Leeds Brewery was established in June 2007[1] by university friends Michael Brothwell (a former BBC Radio York presenter) & Sam Moss[2] and has since been producing a range of permanent and seasonal cask ales.
In 2008 the Leeds brewery asked Leeds United supporters to help name a new beer in an online poll. The favourite was to name the beer Radebeer after Leeds United player Lucas Radebe. The beer was available in local pubs, with 10p from every pint sold going towards the Leeds United transfer fund.[3]
Leeds Brewery has also opened 4 pubs, The Brewery Tap, The Midnight Bell, Pin and The Garden Gate all near Leeds City Centre. The Brewery Tap also has microbrewery upstairs for Brewing Lager[4]
Each month a different Seasonal beer is brewed, the style of beer often reflecting the time of year.
