10 Best Breweries in Follifoot

"From grain to glass, see how traditional ale is created at York Brewery. Located just inside the city walls on Toft Green, York Brewery has been handcrafting real ales since 1996. The brewery site was built in the late 16th century, and has seen many uses over its history, but now it is home to a 20-barrel brew plant, with six traditional open top fermenters and five conditioning tanks."

"Housed in a cavernous old warehouse, half the floor space in this craft brewery is occupied by giant brewing tanks while the rest is given over to simple wooden drinking benches and a bar with rotating keg and..."

"A 15-minute walk from the train station, in a former industrial zone where the warehouses are being repurposed as offices and studio spaces, this site is home to the Northern Monk Brewery Co and, on the first floor, a ruggedly handsome tap room. Naturally, Northern Monk’s beers feature prominently (long on flavour, the zesty, citrussy Eternal Session IPA was in great form) but some 20 lines include plenty of space for potent (in all senses of the word) guest beers, most of them also served in thirds. On this visit these included Kernel’s Export Stout, Cromarty Brewing’s fantastic AKA IPA and Magic Rock’s famous, if not notorious, Human Cannonball – dangerously drinkable at 9.2%."

"One of the stars of Leeds South Bank, Northern Monk Old Flax Store brewery beer garden is the perfect place to soak up the rays and a few pints of their world beer cup winning Eternal Session IPA. There’s an ever-changing selection of kitchen takeovers from the area’s best street food traders to soak up all the drinks, not to mention the train station is only minutes away. One of our favourite spots on this side of town. Marshalls Mill, The Old Flax Store, Marshall St, Leeds LS11 9YJ – 0113 2430003"

"A stone’s throw from the train station, Northern Monk is a solid choice, even if you’re not based in the city centre. With street food takeovers on rotation, the kitchen’s always got something to nibble on to soak up all those beers. Just beware, the toilets are unisex, so you might have to time your trips to avoid awkward touch-ups in the mirror…"

"You may not suspect it from the outside, but North Street's BrewDog is one of Leeds' best cool and quirky bars. The dons of craft beer have a massive 36 draft lines for all your drinking needs, as well as arcade machines, pinball and shuffleboard tables for those of you fancying a little friendly competition."

"The northern daddies of beer, BrewDog have set up shop in the city with a cool aesthetic and 36 draft beer lines. Perfect for craft beer in Leeds, you're bound to find something on their taps or in the bottles, while you munch on pizzas and play a game of shuffleboard or two."

"A trendy hipster hangout offering unique indie brews which are developed in house and brewed upstairs from the bar. Neighbouring the Brewhouse is the Clubhouse, an event space great for larger parties. On weekends, join in on the fun as Cold Bath host street food vendors, pop-ups and more."

"Take a guided tour of the brewery and find out how they brew their famous ales. Afterwards relax over a delicious meal at the Black Sheep Bar & Bistro."

"Theakstons is an independent family run brewery where you can take a tour and experience the craft and skill that goes into brewing each and every pint."

"The Blue Barbakan is an independent restaurant based on Fossgate serving predominantly traditional Polish cuisine but with an extra multi european twist. We serve dishes strongly influenced by several different countries within Eastern Europe fused with others that have been taken from more of a Western European style. Everything, without exception, is made on the premises."

"This independent restaurant on Fossgate serves predominately Polish cuisine – and a delicious brunch!. Currently operating as takeaway only with a limited menu, but once its reopened fully do yourself a favour and book a brunch here. Their full English breakfast is one of the best."

"Bright, rustic Polish dining room with wooden tables and striped linen, serving a traditional menu. This is one of the best restaurants in the city. Address : 34 Fossgate, York YO1 9TA, UK"
