Kirkstall Brewery
Ripley's Reserve
Revival Series
5.9% ABV
Our 'Ripley's Reserve' Tudor Ale, launched at Leeds International Beer Festival, is named for the final Abbot of Kirkstall, John Ripley, who surrendered the Abbey to the Crown in 1539.
We have imagined what the Cistercian monks could have brewed from their own crops of malt and hops (which Henry VIII so detested), and reserved for themselves when the King took their home away from them. Join us in toasting these early brewing pioneers of Kirkstall with this special beer!
