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.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Very deep ruby colour thin tan head. Lots of coffee on aroma. Hell of a lot bettre than I was expecting. No powder or graininess. J juicy porter with well balanced coffee on top. Coffee is a little Maxwell House to be honest rather than espresso. It’s good. Difficult to do the style well, so a big up for trying.

(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 25 Nov 2009) Black colour with foamy, beige head. Roasted, malty nose with notes of freshly ground coffee and a touch of acidity (might come from the coffee). Roasted, malty taste with freshly ground coffee and a touch of slightly tart dark fruit. Medium body, generous coffee bitterness. A bit different with lots of coffee character. Nice one.
