John Gyngell & Christian Townsley
James Clay
Leeds, UK

This is a brewery that comes with serious craft brewing chops.
After all, in 1997, when brewing their own beer was still but a glint in the bottom of their schooner, John Gyngell and Christian Townsley laid claim to pioneering Britain’s first craft beer bar on Upper Briggate, Leeds. The place quickly became an Yorkshire institution, stocking and influencing a new wave of UKcraft breweries.
But all the while they harboured their own brewing plans. In 2015, after twenty years of sourcing and serving, they finally made it happen with a 15bbl brewery and 200-person capacity tap-room just half a mile from the flagship bar. A core range, multiple collaborations and whole host of awards later, they’ve not looked back.
And how good is the beer? Well, let’s put it this way: it’s good enough to be stocked by the original North Bar. In craft beer terms, that’s all you need to know.What more, we're such good pals, that they've only gone and made a beer just for us. Atlantis is a 4.1% pale ale, made to be smashable and full of fruity aromatic hops. Only available from James Clay and Sons.
