If you're familiar with low or non-alcoholic lager, you'll know that Brewdog is one of the best places around to grab a pint. With a selection of low or 0% ABV on offer that beats any other pub or bar by a mile,
It's one of the very few places you can feel included in the beer scene, despite not getting drunk- and that's really hard to find if you don't drink.
But if you're new a lack of alcoholic booze and seriously wanting a pint, it's a place where you can seek solitude and enjoy a draft pint to make Dry Jan a little easier. You might not be getting drunk, but you can support hospitality through one of the most difficult months of the year and save yourself a few pennies in the process.
Given it's Dry January and our pockets are wrung dry, feeling the full force of the festive aftermath, Brewdog's venues in Headingley and North Street are offering unlimited non-alcoholic pints to make their non-alcoholic options even more affordable.
Essentially, you can get free refills of all your favourite pints for the price of one- what's not to love about that? Bestsellers like the original Punk IPA are available in the offer, just transformed to remove the alcoholic part- forming Punk AF, soon to be your new favourite Dry Jan alternative.
Yesterday, Brewdog Headingley shared this statement on their Instagram page:
"For those that are doing dry January we have Lost AF back in for your beer needs & for those that aren’t we have a crew favourite Triple Hazy. Sample the bigger badder sibling to Hazy Jane. In cans to take out or on tap. Oh and did we mention that AF draft beer is on free refills this month?"
You can also get cans of alcohol-free Lost, Punk, Hazy and Nanny State beers to take away with you after last orders is called.
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
