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.

Apparently, the venue will be called The Lamb and Flag and is currently due to open on July 3rd. Also in the news, Friends of Ham is reportedly opening a sister venue in Ilkley over the summer.

Is that a giant hop tower growing up the side of it?

Who cares where this rubbish is brewed? It's hardly surprising to learn that a clown like Big Dave likes the stuff.

I was drinking bottled Doombar at Butlins recently and it was rather good
