Leeds’ Year of Culture gets its own beer from North Brewing Co.
Leeds’ own North Brewing Co has collaborated with Leeds 2023 on a series of beers that celebrate the year of culture.
Following on from the Waking The Artist exhibition, the chosen artwork for the can is ‘Mood’ by Claudia Bowler, has been reproduced on the beer label, spanning the whole canvas of the can.
The beer itself is a 4.2% Pale Ale using Citra, El Dorado and Centennial hops, ‘with a focus on drinkability and refreshment’ bringing together flavours of mango, candied orange and pink grapefruit.
North Brewing Co. X LEEDS2023 will be available at North’s bars across West Yorkshire, and even stretching to Manchester and Birmingham whilst stock lasts.
John Gyngell, co-founder of North Brewing says: “Art and culture has always been a massive part of what we do at North: From the designs of our cans to the exhibitions in our bars to the people who we work with. When we heard that Leeds 2023 were going ahead with their City of Culture plans we jumped at the chance to be involved. I cannot wait to relax with a ‘Waking the Artist’ at a cultural event this Spring.”
Heather Thornton from LEEDS 2023 commented: “It’s really exciting to see LEEDS 2023 collaborating with North Brewing on a new Waking the Artist Beer. The Waking the Artist Project led on from the fantastic ballot entries at the Awakening and it’s really showed how creative the people of Leeds are and we’re thrilled that the North Brewing x LEEDS 2023 will be the final piece of the project and the people of Leeds can make a cheers to creativity!”
