Description
Maxim Brewery began full production in Houghton le Spring in 2007.

To brew the best beers possible requires the best brewery equipment available. Our 20 barrel brewery equipment was previously at the Canongate Brewery on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. This was Scottish & Newcastle’s pilot brew house and as you would expect, was built to a very high specification. Indeed, it remains probably the best equipment of its size anywhere in the UK today. Our flexible Brewery with its special Lautering system allows us to brew between 3,000 and 17,000 pints per day and importantly ensures that we can maintain the highest quality and guarantee a regular supply of cask, keg and bottled beers to the drinkers of the North East and beyond.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - close to opaque black with a decent head. Nose - big citrus hit that drowns out the chocolate. Taste - more balanced with chocolate, biscuits and hops together. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry bitter finish. Overall - this was too hoppy for a mild and not chocolate enough for a stout so it’s more like a Session black ipa I think.
