North Brewing Co is to open its ninth venue — and its first outside of its Yorkshire heartland — at Snow Hill, in Birmingham’s city centre.
Renowned for its alternative approach, quirky style, and friendly service, North Taproom: Snow Hill, opening in November, will be a warm and welcoming space.
It will showcase North’s extensive core range, alongside an ever-changing line-up of beers, wines, cocktails,
ciders, and spirits from an eclectic range of local and international producers.
Fellow Leeds-based brand, Little Bao Boy, will be making the move with North, serving up a menu of contemporary Asian street food.
Located minutes from Snow Hill station in the heart of the city centre, North’s newest taproom will be housed in a modern glass building, creating a light and airy space for city dwellers to enjoy seven days a week.
At 2,500 sq ft, the taproom will seat 100 inside, with space for an additional 30 standing guests, and an extensive covered outdoor seating area that will seat a further 50.
In-keeping with North’s warm and welcoming ethos, interiors will feature plywood, plants, and clean lines to create an open, spacious taproom with a relaxed Scandi feel. A large bar with 24 tap lines will be surrounded by a mix of high and low seating, alongside fridges of cans to drink in or take away.
The taproom will have 24 draught lines, including 18 lines of keg beer, showcasing North’s ever-evolving range of core brews, specials and collabs. The North team love working with friends, so guests can expect an eclectic array of guest breweries on the Birmingham taproom line-up.
The team are busy right now brewing with Digbeth-based beer legends Dig Brew Co, creating a limited edition collab to feature on the taps at launch.
On the taps, guests can enjoy house-made negroni, a rotating selection of cocktail lines, as well as wine and fizz. A small, but perfectly curated line-up of wines by the bottle will also be available, showcasing natural wine producers and innovative techniques, an approach mirrored in North’s selective spirits collection, and seasonal cocktail lists. A variety of grown-up no- and low-alcohol options will always be available.
John Gyngell, North co-founder and director, said: “We cannot wait to open in Birmingham. We’ve been looking for a site in the city for a few years, and the location at Snow Hill is perfect for North.
“We’re dead excited to be joining so many ace independent businesses in the city, and to work with some of the great breweries in Birmingham. We’ve been blown away by the welcome shown to us so far, and cannot wait to get the doors open!”
