Description
Newest Brewery in Sunderland. Based in the cellar of the Ship Isis.

Wear Beer is the brainchild of Julio Romero Johnson who honed his skills at the city's Brewlab at Sunderland Enterprise Park where he says he "couldn't have been taught in a better place."

With the name inspired by the locality, his branding also includes a worm inspired by The Lambton Worm and a star, which is often used in brewery designs.
