Leeds brewery opens up taproom for people to work from to help with heating costs

A brewery in Horsforth will offer a working space to people in a bid to save on their heating costs due to the cost of living crisis. Horsforth Brewery made the announcement on Sunday via their Twitter account.

The brewery said due to the colder weather and increase in gas and electricity prices they will offer the taproom as an office space for remote workers. The brewery is now allowing people to book a seat before they open at 4pm.

In a tweet, the brewery, located on New Road Side, said: "We're fully aware of the cost of living crisis and want to help where we can. If you want to come and work at our place to save on heating costs, you now can. Just send us a message to book a seat, starting Tuesday."

The taproom will be available to those who work remotely and seats will be free of charge, however there will be zero customer service other than being shown tea and coffee making facilities which will come with a nominal charge. Wi-Fi will also be free but guests will be expected to be self-sufficient when working.

There will also be a collection bucket being handed round if people would like to contribute to the costs, this will be completely voluntary. The space will be available until 4pm when the taproom opens - to book a space you can message the brewery on social media.
