Description
We produce beautifully balanced beers. We blend the contemporary with the traditional to produce flavoursome craft beers. Check our webshop for the latest releases (UK wide) or swing by our great taproom for beers, food and more.

We produce beers across the spectrum. Our first and core beers will be unashamedly British, but we savour beers from across the world and relish the opportunity to offer our interpretations. Built on a foundation of quality and consistency our beautiful little brewery in Teesdale will be delivering beers across the North East… and beyond.

14/5/2018. Bottle from CentrAle, Newcastle. Huge gusher! What was left poured cloudy murky mustard gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, grass and hops. Moderate sweetness and bitterness. Light body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Was actually a decent drop, better than the other two I had from this brewer tonight, though drop was about all I got as most went over the carpet!
