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-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 1/6/2013. As Maeib has already noted, this had a truly ugly appearance, the John Merrick of beers - muddy brown and cloudy. The rest of the beer was fine, with some citrus fruits, solid malts and whiff of smoke. Strange stuff indeed.

The Rake. Light haze on this gold beer, little white head. Light crispy palate, semi dry. Thin creamy malt. Really nice mellow citrus - orange and pink grapefruit. Semi dry finish. Very drinkable.

The Rake. Light haze on this amber beer. residual white head. Palate is fresh and light. Semi dry with very fine carbonation. Smooth malt, touch of cream. A little spice - like rye malt or something. Juicy marmalade hops, semi sweet. Bitterish pine and a whisper of red berry fruits. Dry crisp finish. Decent bitter linger. Good stuff!

Keg at The Lyric, Soho. It pours hazy amber with a small beige head. The nose is wood, varnish, toasted brown bread, toffee and earth. The taste is wood, earth, good level of bitterness, light resin, varnish, spice, caramel and some zesty citrus with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty tasty all-round. Good stuff.
