Description
The Ship Inn Brewery opened in March 2008, after 9 months of converting our garage, a long held ambition of ours was realised with the opening of our very own Ship Inn Brewery! We were fortunate to secure the services of brewer Michael Hegarty and our brews of Ship Hop Ale, Sandcastles at Dawn and Dolly Day Dream were very well received.

Fourteen years on and the brewery has moved from strength to strength. The pub is now self sufficient in real ale, with beer brewed on the premises and rolled a mere 10ft from brewery to cellar. The word local has come to mean just that, and with no deliveries from other brewers we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint.

With great excitement we gained the excellent brewing skills of our head brewer Olly Eltringham!

Water is taken from the river Coquet at Warkworth, out of the tap and into the vessels. Malt from Thomas Fawcett and all the beers use the same bittering hop called ‘Arora’.

On cask at the Ship Inn. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - caramel and maybe some apple or grapes. Taste - more toffee apple with a touch of biscuit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it’s ok but I couldn’t distinguish it from 100s of other English Bitters.
