How did a small bar in Leeds serving Beamish Red and Kronenbourg become a driving force in the craft beer revolution?
Founded by John Gyngell and Christian Townsley (above) back in 1997, North Bar is an institution when it comes to great, modern beer.
And nearly 25 years on, the team has just opened the doors on a new brewery of its own.
In this podcast, we speak to Christian about the early days of North Bar, its evolution into the go-to venue for fantastic beer, the team’s decision to start making its own beer and their journey in brewing that has led North to recently open its new site in Springwell.
