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."
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
Leeds has been crowned the best city in the UK for foodies outside of London
Clementine Hall
It's fantastic news for our city as Leeds has been crowned one of the best cities in the UK for foodies.
It's news that we've been pretty certain of for some time, but it's still nice to be recognised isn't it?
It comes from a new study carried out by credit card brand Aqua who analysed 30 major UK cities across a range of dining and social media metrics, including cuisine variety, restaurant availability, meal affordability, Michelin recognition and TikTok hashtag volumes.
Coming in at number on was, of course, London.

With 47 cuisines, 22.5 restaurants per 10,000 residents and 81 Michelin-starred establishments, the capital unsurprisingly continues to dominate the UK’s culinary scene.
But in at number two was our glorious city of Leeds, supported by the highest restaurant density in the study, with 38.5 establishments per 10,000 people, and strong affordability compared with cities in the south.

We will absolutely take that.
Other northern spots to feature on the list include Sheffield and Bradford in sixth and eighth place.
The top ten UK cities for foodies are:
London
Leeds
Nottingham
Edinburgh
Wolverhampton / Leicester
Sheffield
Birmingham / Glasgow
Bradford / Swansea
Preston
Milton Keynes
Here in Leeds we've got so many fabulous food spots, with new openings cropping up every month it's hard to keep track.
From the multi award-winning Bavette Bistro in Horsforth to the highly acclaimed indie Bundobust that started off in Leeds - you certainly won't find yourself hungry or at a loss for somewhere to eat here.
