What were the grand reserve porters like?

The cherry was superb, was going to have the Plum during the Brentford game but thought that was a waste.

Carlsberg now have a 20% stake in Mikeller too.

We have some exciting news to share! We are partnering up with Carlsberg to strengthen our distribution in Denmark.

Today we announce our new partnership with Carlsberg, which grants them the right to sell Mikkeller beer in Denmark. This provides access to Carlsberg’s extensive distribution network, making it possible to distribute Mikkeller beers to bars, cafes, and restaurants across the country. With the partnership Carlsberg acquires a minority stake in the company while founder and CEO Mikkel Bjergsø will maintain the controlling interest in Mikkeller and continue in his role of CEO.

They haven't long opened a taproom in Manchester either, I do like a fair few of their beers so would be a big shame if they went out of business.

Only went once and I accidentally crashed the industry soft launch, which was pretty busy as you'd imagine

Always thought it was in a slightly odd place.

They have it on at Wishful Drinking today but I won’t get to Ricky until 9 so doubt I’ll be trying it. And probably wouldn’t at that price anyway.

Kirkstall Brewery’s Founder Steve Holt has purchased North Brewing Co, which will continue to operate as an independent brewery, run by the existing management team.

The move will ensure North’s future, including its Springwell Brewery and Taproom, as well as the North Taproom sites in Leeds and Manchester. The transaction does not include the North Taproom in Birmingham, which will now close.

The founders of North, John Gyngell and Christian Townley, have known and worked closely with Holt since the earliest days of the North brand, since the opening of North Bar in 1997. As their respective businesses have expanded, the Leeds beer scene has grown with them.

Steve Holt of Kirkstall Brewery said ‘We’ve been friends and industry colleagues for almost 30 years. North is an iconic beer brand that had to continue. Together, we’ll make sure that North will continue to make some of the best beer in the country.’

The purchase of the North will see Gyngell and Townley remain at the helm of the business, and secures the jobs of 78 North employees.

The North tap in Birmingham was crap anyway.

In the wrong part of town and the wrong kind of building really.
