Our first brew and one that was born out of our quest for uncompromising quality. A wonderfully golden session ale with fresh malt and hop aroma, leading to a satisfying bitter finish. Maris Otter dominates the malt bill, backed by heaps of Cascade and Centennial hops.

Three American hop varieties are used in abundance to deliver a crisp, aromatic pale ale with clean and refreshing citrus-fruit flavours. The three C’s come together to give this pale it’s signature flavour: Cascade, Centennial and Chinook.

In celebration of Kirkstall Forge, the oldest forge in England, and named after the giant press that was at the heart of the operation. A full bodied yet beautifully smooth dark porter. Perfectly balanced flavours of chocolate and coffee enhanced by the mild herbal hop character. Deliciously dark.

Originally brewed for Magic Rock’s Sesh Fest 2018. Inspired by those Tequila Tuesday evenings at North Bar — a longer, more sessionable version of tequila’s delicious best friend. With lime, coriander, mint, chilli and pineapple, this incredibly refreshing sour is light but bursting with flavour.

Light, zesty and floral, lagered for 65 days on Bavarian yeast. The addition of Loral hop gives it the signature aromas of lemon zest and flowers. The perfect after work pint.

Our session IPA has a clean citrus aroma that gives way to a fruit hop flavour. Flavours of tropical and citrus fruits, with hints of pine and blueberry are perfectly balanced by its complex malt base, giving it a flavoursome yet refreshing profile. Gluten free and vegan too.
4.5%
A hazy, New England style pale with a punch of fruit flavours; peach, apricots, mango and lychee create a juicy taste from the use of Citra and Amarillo hops. A light pale with a slight bitter finish.
5.2%
A prodigious West Coast IPA, retaining delectable drinkability. A consciously subded malt base allows pronounced citrus, piney, resinous hop aroma to dazzle, before a clean, dry finish.

A breakfast stout brewed with Vietnamese coffee. The bold roasted coffee bitterness is balanced by the sweetness of the lactose and a slighty nutty flavour.

An extremely refreshing strawberry, basil and black pepper sour. The sweetness of the berries is beautifully offset by the basil and a subtle kick from the black pepper. The perfect beer for a long, warm evening in a beer garden.

A collaboration with Yeastie Boys. A deceptively drinkable rye barley wine, aged for a year in bourbon barrels. Aromas of raisin, leather, fig and vanilla lead to complex oak flavours and a clean, balanced finished, despite the high ABV.
11.5%
A 6.0% West Coast IPA in keg with a simple malt body to let brand new US hop Strata shine through. Defined passion fruit and lychee, followed by pink grapefruit and white grape flavours, lead to a dank character, balancing the flavour profile perfectly.
6.0%
A hazy DDH IPA, packed with Citra and Citra Cryo hops, as well as Centennial and Amarillo. Augmentation has flavours of peach, mango and citrus with soft malt body and a hazy yellow appearance.

A Berliner Weisse and our tangiest beer to date. Morello cherries with a scattering of lemon peel and Perle hops make for an intensely refreshing, fiercely red sour.

Music at the Sparrow from 4-7pm
A pub which has played a pivotal role in securing Bradford’s position as a “great beer destination” and that has always had a special place in our hearts. Having opened seven years ago it was the first of the nine bars that have now opened on the street.
We took on this pub in the Summer of 2018, bringing a wide range of beers to the laid-back and welcoming atmosphere that made the Sparrow what it is.
Thanks to the consistently vague advice of our PM regarding our pubs (ours are still open but not the Taproom) we’ve knocked together a tatty website so you can still get Kirkstall to take home at a decent price. Buy online and pick up the next day from Kirkstall Bridge […]

Formally Vertical Drinks, Kirkstall Brewery Company started as the UK’s first importers of beer from around the world, and their portfolio includes some of the best names from the UK and Europe.
As it is the standard practice in America, Kirkstall Brewery was one of the first UK wholesalers to keep all beers in cold storage, to ensure that the beer arrives as fresh as it left the brewery. Whilst our freshness policy of ordering from breweries ‘little and often’ drives us towards regular deliveries so that the beer arrives in your customer’s glass in peak condition. Distributing to many customers throughout the North of England, Kirkstall Brewery are proud to represent breweries from the UK and beyond.
We don’t currently sell direct to the public but if you’re a trade customer, please click here to drop us a note and we’ll get back to you asap with details of our current offerings.
