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.

Pigs Ear. Very dark brown beer with a small suddy tan head. Light semi dry palate. Lightly roasted malt with touches of coffee and minerals. Trace of sweetness in the finish and a little hop peeps through. Not bad.

Cask gravity at Ashford Rugby Club BF 2010. Very pale gold, thin lasting white head. It’s a very decent blond. Pale malts are ok, not too soapy on the hop and decent lemon curd flavoured hop. Yep, very decent lemon finsih.

Spoons. Slighty hazy amber - brown beer. Decent white head. Dry palate. Dry raspy malt. Fruity decent hop with a whisper of apple. Dry finish. Drinkable but the dry malt grates!

Half pint, hand pump cask ale at Standing Order (JDW). Hazy, orange coloured body. Spotty, head-lacing. Aroma of wheaty fruits. Unmistakable wheat beer flavour due to coriander part. Bready malts beneath and hints of sour wheat. Unvaried and far from great (Edinburgh, 29.11.2010).
