Springwell: Leeds brewery taproom remains shut four months on from collapse of retaining wall
The taproom at a popular brewery in Leeds remains closed four months on from the collapse of a retaining wall.
Springwell Taproom, housed in a former tannery on Buslingthorpe Lane, Sheepscar, was forced to close in December following the collapse of a retaining wall.
Home of North Brewing Co in Leeds, the 21,000 square foot brewery, announced the immediate closure of the site’s taproom after it sustained damage during Storm Darragh.
In a statement provided to the YEP, a spokesperson for North Brewing Co, said: “Works continue on the wall and area around it for the time being.
“We're also making our own improvements to the site itself. We will be able to provide an update in due course.”
North Brewing Co, which is now owned Kirkstall Brewery, runs the Springwell site in Buslingthorpe Lane.
A hit with the city’s beer lovers since its inception, the move to the Springwell site has allowed North Brewing Co to double its capacity, increasing its output to 16,000 hectolitres - which is the equivalent of 2.8 million pints a year.
