Episode 31: Springwell Special

Points Of Brew

In this episode I am joined by Alex Millhouse-Smith, Brand Ambassador for North Brewing Co. In a first for the podcast, we recorded this show together on site at North's new production site and taproom, Springwell in Leeds. Alex kindly showed me around the site before we sat down on the mezzanine, overlooking the bar area and alongside the catwalk of the brewery itself. In this show Alex tells me how he came to be at North, how life started at North and how the company grew from being a singular bar to its current form now spanning several sites and producing their own beer. Alex also shares some insight into how things have gone for North since moving over to Springwell, how Covid has affected them and their recent experience of serving time in Instagram jail. Huge thanks to Alex for allowing me to come visit their site and taking time out of his day to chat with me and show me around. *As this episode was recorded on site and during production, there is some background noise throughout the show. This has been reduced however for the best listening experience, it is recommended you listen to this show through headphones*
