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.

Bottle from Woodhorn Museum. Appearance - amber brown with a decent head. Nose - bran flakes, honeycomb. Taste - caramel and brown bread. A hint of something citrus and cleansing towards the end. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy and crunchy in texture. Overall - good example of the style. Not sure I'd have guessed a champion beer of Britain.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. A dark chestnut pour with a thin cream head; aroma of chocoalte powder; rich, almost meaty, in the mouth with a chocolatey taste and some fruity raspberries; then a dry fruity finish with a lingering raspberry edge. A satisfying porter.

Bottle from Beer52. Clear amber with a light fizz and a white head. Malty at first with raspberry and blackcurrants coming through along with peppery weetabix. Some autumn leaves in the dry finish. I have no idea why it's been entered on here as a gold; it's very definitely an ESB, and it's quite an enjoyable one.
