Northern Monk is a craft brewery founded in 2013 in Leeds, in the north of England. The brewery was started by Russell Bisset, who spent years homebrewing before turning his passion into a professional venture, beginning with just £5,000 gifted from a grandparent. Inspired by the historical role of monks in brewing, Northern Monk translates those traditional values into a modern craft beer culture rooted in quality, creativity, and community. The brewery has built a strong reputation for its progressive approach to brewing and its commitment to collaboration. Northern Monk is widely recognised as one of the most iconic craft beer brands in the UK, with a diverse portfolio that spans a wide range of styles. Key brands include Faith (5%) and A Little Faith (4%), alongside an ever-evolving series of experimental and limited-edition releases. The brewery embraces bold flavour combinations, as seen in beers like their Chocolate & Hazelnut Spread Pancake Stout, and runs an extensive collaborations programme. In recent years, Northern Monk has continued to grow its reach and influence. The brewery has entered into a strategic distribution partnership with Damm to accelerate growth in the UK on-trade market. Through crowdfunding campaigns led by founder Russell Bisset, Northern Monk has expanded its community and reinforced its position as a leading cultivator of craft brewing culture in the north of England.
