Say hello to North Brew x LIFI

August 29, 2023

The excitement of LIFI23 extends beyond the conversations, connections and curiosities our fantastic lineups have to offer and this year we have something special. We are very proud to welcome a brand-new collaboration with North Brew, the award-winning, Leeds-based brewery that has a proven track record of satisfying consumers around the globe. Collaboration has always been important to North, celebrating innovation and creativity within the local community and afar, so it was a match made in heaven. 

The partnership will see our exclusive beer being brewed especially for the third-year return of LIFI, boasting its own unique flavour and packaging reflecting the festival. The vegan session pale ale is set to have aromas of lemon zest and freshly cut grass, bringing a note of vibrancy that balances against the juicy flavours of white peach and sweet mango. Some of North Brew’s other famous flavours have included their mango and guava ‘Pinata’, coffee and coconut porter ‘Full Fathom 5’, and their hazy IPA ‘Invisible Cities’.

The news agenda moved on. The atmosphere didn’t.

Climate had slipped down the running order. Then the government sent an emergency alert to millions of phones. It sets the scene for one of LIFI26's most urgent conversations.
