The beer that built Northern Monk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNorthern Monk Faith is one of the defining beers of the modern British craft beer movement. First brewed in Leeds in 2015, Faith began life as a modern pale ale before becoming the flagship beer that would shape Northern Monk's identity. Today, it is recognised for exactly what made it special from the beginning: a beautifully hazy appearance, bright tropical fruit character, and a smooth, rounded palate that makes it remarkably easy to drink.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFaith was born from a fascination with the new wave of American and New England brewing. Northern Monk's founders travelled through New England and Vermont in the early days of the brewery, exploring the hazy, fruit-forward IPAs that were transforming the American craft beer scene. That experience helped inspire the direction of Faith and ultimately influenced Northern Monk's ambition to become one of the UK's leading brewers of hazy, hop-driven beers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe beer itself is all about freshness and drinkability. Tropical fruit and pineapple lead the aroma, backed by bright citrus and subtle stone-fruit character. A gentle sweetness gives the beer a soft, rounded texture, while restrained bitterness keeps everything balanced rather than aggressive. It is hazy, juicy, aromatic, and expressive without crossing into the heavier territory of a modern IPA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor craft beer lovers in Ireland, Faith is an excellent introduction to the Northern Monk philosophy. It captures the moment when hazy American-inspired brewing became firmly established in the UK, while remaining approachable enough to appeal well beyond the traditional craft beer audience. This is a beer built around flavour rather than bitterness — vibrant, contemporary, and exceptionally easy to enjoy.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we love it:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eFaith has earned its reputation the old-fashioned way: by being genuinely good beer. The tropical fruit, pineapple, citrus, and stone-fruit character give it plenty of personality, while its soft mouthfeel and gentle bitterness make it incredibly drinkable. It is the kind of pale ale that works equally well for a dedicated craft beer fan and someone simply looking for a fresher, more flavourful alternative to mainstream lager.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Northern Monk","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54530767094106,"sku":"5060983535284","price":3.65,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/1745\/4426\/files\/Northern_Monk_Faith_Hazy_Pale_Ale.webp?v=1787522621","url":"https:\/\/vpmerchants.com\/products\/northern-monk-faith-hazy-pale-ale","provider":"VP Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
