Leeds Beer Week began in 2016 as an inclusive, city-wide celebration of Leeds beer and beer in the community. This year’s edition is now underway and continues until next Sunday at venues across the city, including at Tapped in Boar Lane where only vegan beers will be poured at the bar this week.

Hub venues are Headrow House, Bundobust, Northern Monk and The Turk’s Head.
