With an overall aim to promote the use of British hops, the list of breweries taking part is excellent – a Yorkshire-centric list including Geeves, White Rose, Revolutions, Imperial, Bad Seed, Atom, Wharfe Bank, Five Towns and Great Heck amongst others.*It’s certainly worth checking out – I’ve been impressed with what I’ve tried from Hamelsworde recently. Colin Brown ale is a robust, raisin-led strong brown ale with rounded sweetness and a nutty finish – and if you’re in the mood for something lighter I can recommend the range of new-world hopped beers they are currently exploring -**fresh, zingy pale ales.

Before that hits in September, however, the gang behind it are holding a ‘Carnaval’ (http://www.leedsbeer.com/carnaval/) to celebrate the Grand Depart on the 28th and 29th of June. Although more of a food and drink festival than the beer festival proper,*the European beers on offer (http://www.leedsbeer.com/2014/06/european-beer-at-carnaval/) in particular look excellent. North and Magic Rock will also be hosting a permanent bar under the town hall - The Magic Spanner (http://www.leedsbeer.com/2014/04/the-magic-spanner-bar-leeds-town-hall-cells/)- which opens on the 27th June.
Finally, the 27th also sees the opening of The Hop Saltaire (http://www.thehopsaltaire.com/), Ossett’s latest pub acquisition. Formerly The Tramshed, this cavernous pub will no doubt benefit from Ossett’s guiding hand, as most do! So if you’re up in Saltaire, do pop in. It’s not the only pub Ossett are opening this month, either - The Fox (http://beertoday.co.uk/ossett-teams-up-with-punch-for-fox-makeover-0614/) in York has enjoyed a refurbishment and also opens this week.
