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-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms, Bristol 11/11/09. Deep brown with a slight tan head. Roasty aroma with some milk chocolate. Flavour was malty, with more roastiness and some sweet dark fruits, leading to a dry finish. I couldn’t detect coffee either, but it was pleasant enough.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Amber with a dense creamy off-white head; fruity aroma; smooth and creamy texture, almost nitrokeg style but without the gas; dry and fruity with some apricot and orange; well-balanced bitterness but a rather sweet finish. Very pleasant.
