The Leeds-based brewery, whose original taproom is housed in its refectory facility, is opening its Manchester taproom in the city’s Northern Quarter.
The two-floor taproom features 16 keg lines, 4 cask lines and 3 draft cocktails, as well as four classic mixed cocktails. The venue will also serve a range of small plates.
The taproom opening follows on from a successful crowdfunding campaign Northern Monk undertook earlier this year.
Despite an initial goal of £500,000, the company exceeded this only three hours, with the investment figure secured closed with £1.5m raised thanks to 2161 investors.
Northern Monk founder Russell Bisset, explained: “It’s been four years since we opened The Refectory in Leeds. In that time, we’ve learnt so much about what makes not just a good beer experience, but a world class beer experience.
“We can’t wait to take the next stage of our journey over the Pennines and into the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. We have big plans, and we can’t wait to share them with you.”
Northern Monk Refectory MCR will open on Saturday (29th September) at 12pm with the first 50 customers receiving a free third, as well as a pot-luck Northern Monk goodie bag that could include anything from limited edition glassware and Don’t Mess with Manchester tees, to stickers, badges or beer.
