It should indeed! I'd heard the rumours, obviously, but hadn't realised how close to the Parish Church it was going to be. Some info and pictures on Secret Leeds:

A bit more on the new Leeds brewery pub:
Leeds Brewery plans new city centre pub: Leeds Brewery plans to open a new pub in the city centre with views of Leeds Minister. The company already operates the White Swan off Briggate, the Midnight Bell in Holbeck; the Brewery Tap near Leeds railway station and Crowd of Favours near Kirkgate. It wants to convert a Grade-II listed building on Church Row, which has a courtyard area at the back with views of Leeds Minster. The 19th century building was a pub before becoming offices and was then unoccupied for some time, falling into a state of disrepair. Sam Moss, a director of Leeds Brewery, said: “It’s in a prominent site in an area of town that’s getting better and better. The courtyard area looks onto the fantastic windows of the Minster – it’s a view that hasn’t been seen for the last 30 years.” The new pub will on two floors and will stock Leeds Brewery beers and serve freshly cooked food based on traditional pub classics.
More Yorkshire news
In addition to expanding with new premises later this year, Magic Rock are opening their Taproom in Huddersfield in June. No details yet, hopefully a town centre location and close enough to the other don't miss pubs to add easily into a crawl.
Oooh! Definitely won't shoot the messenger for that one. Can't wait. Don't suppose you've heard the provisional opening date for the Leeds venue?
