Nomadic beers is celebrating five whole years as a business, so they're bringing Beer and Cheese specialists for a pop-up birthday event.
Based in Sheepscar, Leeds, Nomadic Beers hosts a small team of four and specialise in making hand-crafted, tasty cask ales for the masses in our city.
To celebrate their fifth birthday, the company will be throwing a 'Birthday Shenanigans' event, collaborating with Kaas Cheese and Cafe Amsterdam.
Kaas is an artisanal & continental cheese pop-up company that specialises in bringing cheese in and around the North. Expect a fine selection of your favourite cheeses, as well as accompaniments like olives, fruit and sourdough. The company recently took a trip to visit Henri Willig Kaas in Amsterdam, so we're expecting big things from their next event.
A tiny slice of Amsterdam comes from Dutch bier pops-up company, Cafe Amsterdam. The company have already hinted that a Blackcurrent X Blueberry X Citra Sour DIPA will be on tap, but there will also be an exciting selection of cans and bottles to drink in or takeaway.
They'll also be taking over the keg lines, so there will be plenty of draught pints to sip on.
Nomadic Beers have made a statement about their 'Birthday Shenanigans' event:
"It's our 5th Birthday this month. I can't really believe it's been that long, and at the same time it feels a lot longer! This year we have something a bit different for you. We are welcoming Cafe Amsterdam and Kaas Cheese for a day of beery goodness and delicious cheese boards on Saturday 30th January at our taproom.
"Kaas Cheese is the newest, tastiest venture to pop up in the North East. Richard will be providing cheese boards with all the trimmings. Seriously take a look at their Instagram feed, I'm drooling. Cafe Amsterdam will be taking over our keg lines and have a small amount of cans/bottles to take away. Specialising in Dutch beers we're very excited to see what they have ins tore for us.
"Our taproom will be open from 12-9pm. We'd love to see you there to help us celebrate."
One of Leeds' most iconic brands is expanding with two city centre openings.
Coffee lovers, you're going to love this one.
North Star Coffee Roasters are one of the early pioneers of specialty coffee in the North of England and among the UK’s first B Corp-certified coffee roasters.
They've been keeping the people of Leeds awake since 2013, and you'll find their coffee across the country as well as at their current city centre locations.
One of their brand-new locations inside the Victoria Quarter will be opening next Monday 1 June.
Their new kiosk will be located outside Jo Malone London and marks the brand’s third site in Leeds.

To celebrate the launch, North Star will be giving away 50 free coffees a day from Tuesday 2 June until Friday 5 June - a total of 200 free drinks across the opening week. Customers will be able to claim any coffee from the menu, with one free drink per person available on a first come, first served basis, each day.
Their other new site is expected to be on Great George Street, and we'll keep you updated with any news on that one as and when we know more.
Speaking about the opening, Holly Kragiopoulos, Co-founder of North Star, said: “Opening a third site in the centre of Leeds feels incredibly special for us. Leeds has always been at the heart of North Star, so being able to bring our coffee into Victoria Quarter is a huge milestone.
"We wanted to celebrate by giving something back to the city and welcoming both loyal regulars and new customers with free coffee throughout our opening week.”
Inside Leeds’ new neighbourhood bakehouse from the team behind Silver’s Deli
Clementine Hall
Silver's Bakehouse is finally here, and it's just as fabulous as we'd hoped.
Just when you thought Leeds’ favourite sandwich spot couldn't get any better, they go and open a bakery.
Silver's Bakehouse has opened its beautiful pastel green doors today over in Farsley to queues of excited fans eager to get their first taste.
So, what's on offer at Silver's Bakehouse?

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.
