Slick Gorilla x Northern Monk

Slick Gorilla x Northern Monk

The latest venture in Slick Gorilla’s portfolio of unique partnerships, sees us collaborate with Leeds based Northern Monk Brewing Co. With both brands born in Leeds, it seemed like the perfect fit to travel a stone’s throw away from where it all started.

Northern Monk are an independent brewing company specialising in high quality beers and innovative brewing techniques. Community and collaboration run through the veins of Northern Monk, with countless creations with musicians, artists, charities and much more that express their core values. A community built on strong relationships and acknowledgment of creativity, much like the barber community Slick Gorilla embrace and invest ourselves in.  


The Slick Gorilla x Northern Monk collaboration combines two brands that share the same values. We recognise individuals/organisations that show individuality and talent, using our platforms to create something one of a kind that appeals to all types of audiences. We teamed up to create a unique design and labelled up an exclusive range of THE KING OF THE JUNGLE German Lager that only a handful of the UK will be lucky enough to try.  


We took a trip to their Brewery to discuss the history of Northern Monk with co-founder and head brewer, Brian Dickson, who gave us a tour of the refectory and brewery. It would be rude not to have a glass of THE KING OF THE JUNGLE while we visited.
