Description
VAUX has been a beloved name in Sunderland for almost 200 years. From the earliest incarnation of 'C. Vaux & Sons' in 1837 right through to the 1990's, the brewery was an important part of city life in Sunderland until its closure in 1999.
In early 2019, we set about relaunching this iconic brand to make it a source of pride once more for the people of Sunderland. One year on, after a successful period of contract brewing with some of the best breweries in our area, we have now opened our own brewery in Monk Street, Sunderland.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - close to opaque black with a proportionate, beige to tan head. Nose - chocolate, roasted nuts and something a bit like marshmallow or red fruits. Taste - creamy chocolate, hazelnuts and roast again. Palate - smooth in texture, medium bodied, balanced and lightly roasty finish. Overall - very nice, particularly since ABV is not particularly high.
