Description
Mordue Brewery built up a local strong and loyal customer base which saw demand require no less than 3 expansions of brewery, from the original West Chirton site to a huge brewery in the Tyne Tunnel estate. This new range of beers gained both local and national awards. Mordue ceased brewing on 6th June 2019 and subsequently the brew equipment was auctioned.
However later in 2019 the Mordue brand was relaunched by the Blue Brewing Co. a gypsy brewery which is owned by a group of North Easterners with a wide background of skills who came together, not only to keep the Mordue beers alive but also for their shared passion for Craft Beer.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Light cloudy amber with small off white soap sud head. Aroma of biscuit malts and citrus noted hops; too clean and standard. Taste is really nice and just shows what I know, quite bitter, orange, grapefruit and pine comes through with more power than expected, quite a bit of hop spice helped by a fine yet zingy carbonation. Medium bodied, smooth. After the look and aroma I was expecting to rate this sub 3.0. Its great when a beer surprises you.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear amber brown with small off-white head. Nice aroma of sweet toasted malts, toffee, liquorice, berries, light molasses. Taste doesn't quite live up to the aroma. Malts, toffee, spice, somewhat grainy, decent bitterness. Nice medium body, smooth, with a prickly carbonation.
