DMC Brewery & Taproom, Leeds

Housed in a pair of arches in the railway viaduct east of Leeds Station, it’s been lined to keep the water out like most of these places. It specialises in ginger and fruit based beers, the original OGB is from an 18th century recipe and is rather nice, not just ginger beer but a 5.2% ABV ginger beer, slightly sweet and very ginger. They also produce other unusually favoured beers which obviously will not be to all tastes, the beers are served under a very low gas pressure as well so be warned as it’s a stroll from the city via a tortuous pedestrian route through the nasty inner ring road. For the less adventurous there are more conventional beers from local breweries also in keg format. The brewery is in the right hand arch with the tap room in the left one, it has a grand mix of seating hopefully to suit all tastes although being a railway arch it’s chilly and full of train noises. Loyalty card scheme, one stamp per pint or two halves, ten stamps for a free pint. There are a number of posters and stuff in the unisex toilet that would offend the maiden aunts in Camra. Customers much as I expected.
