A walking tour of Leeds led by acclaimed beer writer Simon Jenkins – with stories from the past and three pub stops on the route.
About this Event

Starting in the south of the city centre beside the old Tetley Brewery, this tour is run by It's The Beer Talking, and features renowned beer writer Simon Jenkins, and event organiser and former Tetley's PR officer Nicky Massen.

After a first drink in the Tetley, the route will take us due north, over the river and into Briggate, one of the oldest streets in the city - and once the home to more pubs than you could shake a stick at.

Through a series of interesting diversions, you’ll learn how our city is still shaped by its 13th century geography, hear stories from the past - a notorious con artist, a grisly M**der, Victorian innovation, theatre, religion and war.

We visit a selection of pubs along the way, to sample some of the best beers our city has to offer and learn something about how brewing and drinking have played their part in Leeds life for centuries.

And our walk will end at North Bar, where we will be joined by John Gyngell, who co-founded the group of wonderful bars which changed the drinking scene of our city beyond all recognition.

Read some great reviews from Leeds Confidential and Leeds List - and watch this Leeds List video!
