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 at ORB, Darlington. Hazy gold colour, white foam head that dissipates away and bacterial aroma with hints of sick. Taste is sour, aspirin, grainy, hay, slight fruity notes of mango & pineapple, along with oxidised cardboard. Slightly slick mouthfeel, light bodied, soft carbonation, drying dusty sour finish. OK.

Cask at a Wetherspoons somewhere - probably Manchester. A light malted golden ale that has a medium body and a decent taste to it.
