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 Castle, Furnival St., London
Black color. The aroma is light, with some roasted malt and sourness; light barley coffee too (it’s sold in some country, like Italy, under the name Orzoro). With the dark malts (not caramel, not black), there is a strange sourness, that looks more like wrong fermentation than malt sourness. I think there is some problem here…

Cask at The Bell, Banbury, Oxon 09-02-09 Pours deep brown, good looker, nice white head. Taste is really quite lovely, great malty base, some quality bitter chocolate lingers and then melts on the tongue. This ia a lovely full bodied beer. Snowing a blizzard so had to gulp me beer down and head back home, when I would loved to have had another couple of these. Lovely beer. A6 A5 F8 P4 OV16
