This Leeds Brewery are releasing a new lager collection at their Halloween film night
Swap The Winchester for the Northern Monk Refectory this Halloween and grab a nice cold pint of their yet-to-be-released lager at their Halloween Beer and Film Night.
Shaun of the Dead, exclusive new beers and fancy dress: what more do you really need this Halloween?
Northern Monk are known for their stand-out lagers and fresh ideas, but this Halloween they're celebrating their new release with a chilled night in with Simon Pegg.
On the evening of Halloween, get yourself to The Winchester, aka the Northern Monk Refectory, have a nice cold pint and wait for this to all blow over.
The popular brewery will be showing cult classic Shaun of the Dead from 7pm, with doors opening an hour earlier.
Picture the scene: Shaun has left Mars Bar in the glove box and is getting chased around the garden with a piece of wood, anticipating a gory death.
You, on the other hand, are sat in your most haunted costume at one of Leeds' finest refectories and instead of battling the threat of becoming a zombie, you're guzzling Northern Monk lagers at their Halloween launch.
There will be plenty of popcorn to go around, along with strawberry Cornettos and a schooner of Faith: a fruity, juicy pale ale.

As much as gathering with your mates to laugh at Simon Pegg sounds like the ultimate night out, there's a far more exciting reason to turn up to the brewery's Leeds location.
The spooky movie night will be celebrating the release of Northern Monk's Halloween special, which has been kept carefully under wraps.
There will be plenty of Monk treats to dip into throughout the evening and tickets even guarantee a third off their new collection when purchased after the movie.
Fancy dress is encouraged and rewarded at this spooky event. There will be ample opportunity to win a free four-pack, simply outshine the rest of the competition in costume for your chance to win.

Tickets cost £12 and need to be purchased in advance of the Halloween film night.
Any ticket covers the cost of entry and those delicious snacks essential for any movie night but there will be opportunity to purchase Northern Monk's locally renowned lagers throughout the night, including their latest release.
New regulations are set to be put into place as part of the Briggate Action Plan.
Proposals for the plan, aimed at making some of the city centre’s busiest areas safer for everyone, received a huge amount of support during a public consultation last year.
Since then, the council have been drawing up the necessary regulations and signage, with the new rules now due to officially come into place over the next few months.
Once implemented, the action plan will mean a requirement to walk bicycles and e-bikes within the city centre’s pedestrianised shopping area from 10.30am until 8pm every day.
That means no surprise bicycles will try and run you over as you're doing your shopping, hooray!
The action plan will also introduce prohibitions around certain street trading activities in targeted areas, including mobile street traders.
Extended restrictions will be put into place during major city centre events including Leeds Pride, Light Night Leeds and the Leeds Christmas Market.
Anyone breaking the new rules could be given a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice.
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council, said: “The city centre welcomes hundreds of thousands of visitors each year, and our aim is for every one of them to have the best and safest possible experience of Leeds.
“Through this action plan, we’ve taken important and meaningful steps to address issues which the public have consistently told us were impacting their enjoyment of the city centre whilst also creating potential safety issues for shoppers and pedestrians.
“With these new regulations in place, our hope is that both day-to-day visits and major events will now be even more enjoyable, successful and welcoming.”
The new restrictions on pedlars are expected to be in place from Thursday 1 October, with restrictions on bikes in pedestrianised areas due to be in place by the end of the year.
Huge new two-storey late-night venue with beer hall and games is coming to Leeds city centre
Clementine Hall
A new late-night venue is set to open in Leeds city centre.
And luckily for us, we don't have long to wait.
Introducing Klubhaus, a new venue by The Bierkeller brand that will open its doors on Friday 30 October on Merrion Street in Leeds city centre.
Combining a whole host of things, Klubhaus will feature drinks, games, and its very own beer hall on the top floor.
'The Bier Hall' will offer your classic Bierkeller-style benches alongside a huge stage and vast dance floor, perfect for events and live DJs.
Elsewhere in the two-storey venue, there will be two bars and plenty of games including dart boards, pool tables, and Bierkeller's popular ‘Spin the Wheel’ game where customers are given the chance to spin a large wheel behind each bar to unlock discounts and offers.
Dave Howarth, Brand Manager of The Bierkeller said: “Klubhaus is an exciting Bierkeller concept, and Leeds is the perfect city for a more drinks-led, late-night version of the brand.
“With two floors, two bars and The Bier Hall, we've built a venue on Merrion Street designed for the perfect night out.”
Considering the location, we've got a feeling this will do very well for those who prefer to party at the top of town on Merrion Street.
And with the prospect of bagging yourself a free drink from the mysterious wheel...who could resist?
