There’s been a boom in breweries across the North, and our new podcast explores the craft beer revolution that’s sweeping the region.
Small-batch, traditionally made beers with an emphasis on flavour and quality are a rising star in the world of brewing.
In this episode of The North in Numbers , we find out what’s been driving the trend, and some of the challenges of craft beer’s growing popularity.
We spoke to brewers, bar owners and beer festival organisers from across the North to get their take on the next big thing in beer.
The North in Numbers tells the human stories behind the various statistics for the North of England.
Join local journalists, experts and those most affected as they get to the heart of the figures that particularly impact the North - whether that’s looking at the huge rise in homelessness , the impact of council cuts , or the boom in restaurants seen across the region.
Every episode will look at the North as a whole, but will also highlight the towns and cities witnessing the biggest problems, or seeing the most significant rises - good or bad.
This week host Annie Gouk, deputy editor of data and multimedia at Reach, talks to brewers from Cloudwater and ABC in Manchester and Magic Rock in Huddersfield, the owners of North Bar in Leeds and Dead Crafty in Liverpool, and the organiser of the Independent Manchester Beer Convention .
