– Tapped Brewery TAKEOVER – Thursday 28th August / 7pm
“The Tapped Brewery started as a 4BBL kit based at The Sheffield Tap in the newly renovated Edwardian First Class dining rooms of Sheffield Station. The Sheffield brewery has been brewing cask beer since January 2013, and the move to Leeds in December 2013 heralded a second site that holds a custom built 600L Czech Decoction Brewery.
This enabled our brewer in Sheffield, Pete Dakin, to concentrate on its production of high quality cask ale – while opening up a new world of possibilities for Head Brewer and Owner Jamie Hawksworth on his new kit in Leeds. Focussed on producing super fresh beer for our customers, our site at Tapped Leeds serves an ever changing range of beers directly out of 500L serving tanks behind the bar – many of which have been graced by collaborations with the likes of Amundsen Bryggeri, Kirkstall Brewery, Beavertown Brewery, Pressure Drop Brewing, and Magic Rock Brew Co.
With the turnover of beers ever expanding and demand leading us out of our own venues and into the big wide world; we certainly hope more beer lovers will enjoy experiencing our lovingly crafted products!”
For the first time in Manchester we will be exclusively launching Elderflower Pale and Paradiso Triple Hop (Hallertauer Blanc, Mosaic, Citra) both coming in at 5.2% abv

UPDATE – We will now be launching Magic Pils (Magic Rock collaboration) as well as two more Tapped beers on cask, so it’s more of Tapped Take Over now!
Here is a full list of the beers on offer :
Tapped Brew Co. Ale – 3.5% Best Bitter
A modern twist on the classic Best Bitter. Crafted and inspired by Sheffield’s historic Bitter brewing tradition. Maris Otter malt has been lavished with British Goldings and a late twist of Polish Marynka hop to produce a perfectly balanced session Best Bitter.
Rodeo – 4.0% American Pale Ale
American Pale Ale, originally brewed to mark 100 brews and 1 year of brewing at Tapped Brew Co. Pale English malt and American hops: Sonnet, Amarillo, Calypso and lots and lots of Centennial.
Elderflower Pale – 5.2% Summer Ale
Our Tapped Brew Co. ‘Summer Ale’. This beer is smooth and sumptuous, with a fragrant aroma made for the back garden on a sunny day – the marriage of Topaz hops and wild elderflowers brings the summer to your glass, whatever the weather! Brewed by two of our very own bar team; Spike Stinson and Richard Allan.
Paradiso – 5.2% Triple Hop Pale Ale
A Triple Hop pale ale using Mosaic, Citra, and Hallertau Blanc. A fruity aroma gives way to a sharp flavour on the palate and a perfectly balanced bitterness in the finish. The easy drinking flavour belies it’s 5.2% alcohol content – a real Tapped favourite.
Tapped Brew Co/Magic Rock ‘Magic Pils’ – 5.5% Mandarina Hop Organic Pilsner
Our exclusive collaboration with Magic Rock Brew Co. of Huddersfield, this Pilsner is packed with Australian Ella and German Mandarina hops. It promises to be a beauty when it’s released at Tapped Leeds for our Meet the Brewer event on August 26th. Brewed on 31 July 2014 by Jamie Hawksworth, Stuart Ross, and Richard Brownhill
– Up and Coming / Squawk Brewing Co
We like to celebrate all things shiny and new, especially when it comes to beer and ESPECIALLY when the brewery is just around the corner from us. In out latest edition of ‘Up and Coming’ we focus up Squawk Brewing Co from Manchester, here are a few words direct from the birds mouth (…as it in what a bird says, get it?! SQUAWK?!? Perhaps not.. I’ll get my coat)
Who we are : “A fresh new Manchester-based brewery with a passion for craft beer. SQUAWK brew Pale Ales, Stouts, Porters and IPAs of various descriptions and strengths. No two brews are ever the same, because we’re always refining and improving our core recipes. The SQUAWK mission statement: Using techniques old and new to create complex tastes and powerful sensations. Committed to craft beer. Not afraid to mix it up and experiment with far out flavours. Selective about rules, because great beer can come from strange beginnings. For intrepid beer hunters on the lookout for bold flavours and brave brews.”
Past, present and future : Although the brewery launched in late 2013, SQUAWK is already established as a regular fixture on the Manchester beer scene. 2014 (and beyond) will be spent mixing and matching traditional ingredients and influences from around the globe. Keep your eyes peeled for an ever-changing procession of intriguing and, most importantly, downright lovely beers popping up at selected ale shops and beer fests across the north. There is plenty more still to come from this feisty new brewery.
– IPA Week / Friday 1st – Thursday 7th August 2014
IPA day is upon us once again, that wonderful celebration of all things pale and hoppy. We’re so excited about it that this year we’ve decided to have a full week’s celebration incorporating both International Beer Day (Friday 1st August) and IPA Day (Thursday 7th August) so you’ve got even more time to come raise a glass with us to one of everyone’s favourite beer styles.
We’ll be showcasing some of the best IPA’s from some of the finest craft brewers in the UK; Magic Rock, Kernel, Summer Wine as well as some delights from further afield from the likes of Founders, Evil Twin and North Coast. There’s going to be some pretty special beers gracing the bar that we’re all getting very excited to try.
We hope you like hops.
– Exclusive UK keg launch of West Coast IPA / Hosted by Chuck Silva Wednesday 23rd July – 7.30pm
Since being established in 2002 by Mike and Lisa Hinkley, Green Flash Brewing Co. has gone from strength to strength in pretty much every way! Most notably the beers but also in brewery size, team, popularity and recognition as well as other areas. These award winning folks have an amazing core range as well as consistently producing great experimental, limited edition and seasonal beers (an example of which is seducing people from the PSBH fridge as we speak)
Please join us for the keg launch of their very successful ‘expedition to brew the benchmark West Coast IPA’ (it’s like the old one but even better!?!) hosted by the Brewmaster himself Chuck Silva.
