Tartarus Tap

Aim

We are on a mission to create our own craft beer haven here in our home city of Leeds!

Our Story

Tartarus Beers started in 2020 with the aim to produce high quality craft beer with a mythical edge. People who have followed us from Day 1 will remember our first 3 beers; Baku (6.3% Saison), Elf (9.5% Black Pepper Belgian Tripel) & Abaddon (17% Imperial Stout)! This was the beginning of Tartarus!

From a 100L kit in the basement to our 2500L brewery just outside Leeds City Centre, we have grown from a small cult following to a reputable brand in the craft beer industry. We brew a wide range of beers from lagers, IPA's to imperial stouts and everything in-between.

We have had many opportunities to pour our beer at some of the largest and most renowned beer festivals up and down the UK as well as in Europe. We also export our beer into Europe & Asia. Due to the increase in demand and the need for extra capacity in the brewery, we made (the very difficult) decision to close our on-site taproom to allow for expansion. 

Since closing the taproom in August 2025, we have missed it and know that the local Leeds craft beer scene has too! We are delighted to announce that we have found a permanent location for Tartarus Tap! Our vision is to create a craft beer paradise in Leeds and would love for you to get involved!

The Bar

The location is yet to be disclosed, but we can say it will be in Leeds City Centre!

Expect international beers on tap and in the fridges, plus special events where we will be hosting international breweries! We will of course have a wide range of Tartarus Beers available on tap & in the fridges, plus meads, wines & no-low options. Oh and don't forget the rare bottles from our secret cellar.

Join us on this legendary adventure!
