Closing our eyes and taking an imaginary tour around Hong Kong’s street markets flooded our senses with the deep red of lacquered roast ducks and Char Sui pork, and the heady smells of caramelising sugars melding with woody spices which recalled a seemingly unlikely comparison – the deep caramel bitter sweetness of West Coast IPA. We’ve used Columbus, Centennial, Citra, Mosaic, Idaho 7 and Rakau and dialled it up to Imperial strength to recreate that sensory bombardment.

In 2014 we opened the doors to the Old Flax Store, a Grade II listed building that we found and renovated into the home of Northern Monk. We grew significantly in the years to follow, but the Old Flax Store remains the heart of the operation.
We launched the OFS Projects to celebrate the experimental, small-batch nature of brewing at OFS, creating limited releases that push the boundaries of brewing creativity and technique.
