Hop City has returned for its second year at Northern Monk Brew Co. Having missed out last year I was super excited to get my hands on a Saturday evening ticket (cheers Rat!). With hoppy and hazy beers being my preference and tickets selling out in advance I was expecting greatness.

Arcade Beers – Huddersfield
Situated five minutes from Huddersfield train station is Arcade Beers, and for a bar this small I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a beer selection as extensive. Blink and you may miss the entrance to this place! As soon as you enter you’re welcomed by a wall of bottles and cans on your left and…
Magic Rock brewery & tap – Huddersfield
One of the joys of heading to Huddersfield is a trip to Magic Rock brewery. Situated roughly 15 minutes walking distance from the town centre Magic Rock is tucked away in an industrial estate, with the unit providing ample space for the actual brewery, a large taproom and outdoor space which is perfect for summer…
Bar Review: The Hop Shack – Horsforth

Fierce Beer
Fierce beer is up there as one of my favourite breweries (along with Tiny Rebel and Wild Beer, but that’s something for another day!). So how better to start my first guest blog than with a post about Fierce Beer!
BrewDog bars – Leeds

Nosferatu Craft Beer Shop – Sofia, Bulgaria
Whilst on a recent skiing holiday in Bulgaria we spent our final day in the capital city of Sofia. Obviously this was an excuse to hunt down some craft beer, especially from some local breweries since I haven’t encountered much Bulgarian beer back home in the UK. A quick Google highlighted we needed to check…
BrewDog Intergalactic Beer Visa is here
As I’m sure most craft beer lovers are I’m also a BrewDog Equity Punk. Since I bought shares I’ve been hoping BrewDog would release something like the Intergalactic Beer Visa, and now they’ve done just that. You collect stamps and in return collect rewards. There’s a number of groups such as bars in Scotland, bars…

There’ll also be brewery tours, bar reviews, beer tasting, shopping guides and everything in between. So sit back, crack open a cold one and enjoy! 🍻😬 PS:…
