A tribute to 8 Wired “Tall Poppy”, a landmark beer for New Zealand craft brewing which won awards and captured the attention of drinkers and brewers alike when it first hit Europe. With a malty base combining caramel and fruit, we used the same hops at the original and turned everything up a notch in true Monk style.

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.
