Where else could we start but in Leeds’ most historic and storied pub: Whitelocks. It's a boozer so steeped in history that it could have its very own 10 part podcast series (*note to self – that’s a not a bad idea).

Sitting, surrounded by it’s beautiful marble and copper bar, tiled front and etched mirrors we’re joined by manager Beth Templeton to discuss the history of a pub that Sir John Betjeman described as the “Very heart of Leeds”.
We delve into the current scene with renowned beer writer Simon Jenkins and take a look at just how rich the local landscape is with Maz Terron Busteros from The Leeds Beer Festival. We also receive the first nomination for our Big Beery Pub Tour which we’ll record as our final grand episode, and our reporter Johnny meet some brilliant folk growing hops in their back garden for their local brewery, which pays them in beer of course.

Oh and we should probably mention we drank some beautiful beer too including a glorious Whitelocks/Kirkstall Brewery IPA collaboration, a stone-cold classic from Timothy Taylor's and a fruity number from The Kernel Brewery.
