★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

From a cellar in Bradford, Northern Monk set out to make the best beer in the world, convinced that UK beer was either traditional or craft without a sense of place. In 2014 the brewery was truly born in The Old Flax Store, an abandoned Grade II listed mill in Leeds that is still home, now with a second brewery on Sydenham Road. Faith, a hazy pale ale and one of the first New England style beers brewed in the UK, leads the range, joined by the Patrons Projects, collaborations with creatives.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
