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.

16/6/2022. Cask at the 30th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours clear dark amber with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of caramel, malt, stewed fruits, some veg, and a mucky farty edge. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, touch of tart. Moderate body, slightly oily, soft carbonation. Tasted much better than it's aroma. Didn't seem right.

Bottle from Arcade Beers, Huddersfield. Very mildly hazy golden coloured with a head. Citrus based brew but very bland tasting, with not much pils character to be found - perhaps some in nose. Texture is fine in the palate.

Sample, thanks Grumbo. Dark brown, a bit hazy with large and lasting beige head. Nice winter spices in the nose, cinnamon with more prominent biscuits. Medium sweet start, moderate bitterness, spices. herbal finish and lasting aftertaste. Medium body. Not bad, though a bit sharp at times.
