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.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours black with a decent tan head. Aromas of earthy malt, dark fruit and leather. Maybe some liquorice. Meaty too. Taste is spicy, some stewed prune, black malt, bitter tannins, earthy again. Long fruity, ashy charcoal finish. Liked this.
