Black Storm started in late 2017. The beers were initially contract brewed at Hadrian Border Brewery. In Spring 2019 the former site of Blackhill Brewery was purchased located at Unit 14 Stella Gill Industrial Estate, Pelton Fell and started brewing at it. Relocated in early 2022 to their current site. During Spring 2023 new management took over the brewey and started activities as Black Storm Beers. Same beers, same brewers, NEW management

22/7/2021. Can sample courtesy of SHIG, cheers! Pours clear dark brown with a bubbly beige head.

Moderate body, a little watery, soft carbonation. Sweet finish. Quite enjoyable.
