A Collaboration Years in the Making: Northern Monk and Timothy Taylor’s Team Up To Launch Stout

Two of the North’s most celebrated breweries have collaborated for the first time to launch a 4.4% stout, Northern Rising.

The culmination of more than a year’s worth of work between the two award-winning breweries, Northern Rising will be released in cask and keg within Northern Monk’s and Timothy Taylor’s own venues, and in pubs across the UK, plus 440ml nitro stout cans in supermarkets and online.

Russell Bisset, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Northern Monk, and Andy Leman, Timothy Taylor's Head Brewer at Taylor's on the Green, Keighley.

The team at Timothy Taylor’s and Northern Monk have used roast barley and crystal malt in the brew, so expect a malt-forward and satisfying chocolate flavour. Golden Promise malt is also in the mix, a staple of Timothy Taylor’s cask ales, which gives the beer that trademark full body and satisfying mouthfeel.

Russell Bisset, Co-Founder and Managing Director at Northern Monk, said: "We’ve been huge fans of Timothy Taylor’s for many years and a collaboration with them has always been on our bucket list. It’s a collaboration years in the making from when we first floated the idea of working together.

"We settled on a beer style that’s 300 years old, started in London and made famous in Dublin. We had fun getting together and developing different concepts on what we could do together and landed on a stout, an exciting challenge. Stouts are the fastest growing beer style in the UK, and we’re stoked for people to try our take on a classic."

Andy Leman, Timothy Taylor’s Head Brewer, said: "Northern Monk is a fellow Yorkshire brewery that we’ve been proud to call a friend for many years, and one that has produced some of the most exciting craft beers in the country. It’s been fantastic to blend their craft beer credentials with our real ale expertise to produce Northern Rising, a truly delicious stout."

Northern Rising will be pouring at Timothy Taylor’s and Northern Monk venues on cask or keg, at the famous Keighley & Worth Valley Beer Festival which runs from 17-20 October, and in selected bars and pubs across the UK from mid-October. See below for more information.

It will also launch in nitro stout can in 400 Morrisons stores from the end of October and will be available from both northernmonk.com and timothytaylorshop.co.uk.

A list of pubs that have bought Northern Rising in cask is included below. This does not include pubs who have bought through a wholesaler, so if you're unsure if your local sells it, it would be worth contacting them before you visit.

This list is updated weekly, so please check back for availability.
