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.

Tasting at Bruce’ s pad. Thanks to Leighton. Hazy dark amber beer with a good bubbly off white head. Mild piney nose. Light smooth palate with fine carbonation. Sweet malts, thin but creamy and bringing mild toffee. Piney hops with light hop spice. Little tropical fruits. Some aniseed alcohol showing. Finishes smooth with a bitterish piney fruity linger. Not bad at all.

Bottle from Leighton at Colin’s 5K. It pours hazy deep amber with a thick yellow-white head. The nose is stewed orange, tangerine, mango, candy, booze and wood. The taste is bitter-sweet, wood, earth, orange, mango, juicy fruits, toast, spice, sherbet, chewy malt and some alcohol warmth. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit heavy, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Bottle shared at my 5K tasting at Bruce’s pad, thanks once to Leighton - he never stops a ratin’ - for this one, 13/11/13. Hazed dark amber with a moderate off white covering. Nose is sweet, orange, light pine, candied sugars, pineapple, pear juice. Taste comprises earthy hops, grapefruit, sugars, sweet caramel sauce, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, dry finale with semi aggressive hop bitterness coming into play. Ok - a little rough around the edges and overly sweet, needs a few subtle tweaks and it could become a 3.6/7.
