Description
Based in County Durham in the industrial North East of England, Caps Off Brewery opened in early 2020. Having opened a bottle shop & micro pub, Ali decided to team up with a life long friend in David and open the brewery. The team at the brewery are looking forward to bring you a wide variety of hop forward beers, big stouts and fruity little numbers. The next few months will see the start of our barrel ageing project and wild fermentation programme.
