Looking to add a little spice to our IPA base, the addition of rye gives spice and sweetness to this lower ABV session beer, giving a balance against the large dry hop bill. We paired up El Dorado, Amarillo, and Citra to achieve fruit-forward citrus and orange bomb, which works beautifully with the earthy spice of the rye and makes for a flavoursome but very sessionable IPA.

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. If you’ve ever visited us here, you’ll know that you can look through the ground floor window to see our original tanks still in operation. This is where we brew our smaller, more limited releases.
2020 marks the year that we launch a brand-new beer series, a series dedicated to the exploratory, small-batch nature of brewing at OFS. We’ve released beers exclusive to the Old Flax Store before, but we’ve given this series a whole new identity.
