Northern Monk - Patrons Project 40.01

Welcome to Northern Monk Presents, the first in a new Patrons Project series showcasing the great and the good of independent artists, creatives, enterprises or breweries, or all of them at the same time. We’ve collaborated on this first release with OK Comics, an independent graphic novel store based in Leeds celebrating their 20th birthday, and with Anna Readman, an illustrator and comic artist. For this 6.5% DDH IPA, we called in our pals at Manchester’s Sureshot Brewing. Sureshot is all about bringing joy to beer. Founded in 2020, Sureshot has been a long-term project of James Campbell is a serial head brewer at some of Manchester’s most respected independent breweries. Showcasing two of James at Sureshot's favourite hops of the last year, Nelson Sauvin and Mosaic, and combining James' preferred grist with what worked well for us on our Thought Bubble #4 release last year. You should be getting notes of white grape, elderflower, blueberry, mango and melon in there, all packed into a thick as-you-like 6.5% IPA. Sounds more than OK to us.
