Description
Our brewery started life up in Morpeth, Northumberland, back in 2012. One name change later, we settled on being called Anarchy Brew Co. and started brewing our core beers, packed with flavour that we still make today (Blonde Star and Citra Star). After running out of room at the old site, we decided we needed somewhere bigger. And in October we moved to new digs in Newcastle upon Tyne, where you’ll find us today. The new Anarchy brewery opened its doors in October 2018 in Walkergate, with the added bonus of our new taproom.

Cask. Hazy amber. Lots of hop nose w some syrupy malt. Sweet hop syrup. Tastes a bit strong but that’s drinking in England for you - 5% is big beer here.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a hazy light amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is grassy hop and citrus fruit. The flavour is medium bitter with an earthy barnyard hop bitter palate and a short bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A rather unusual APA.
