Description
Founded in 2015, we are a close-knit family business that selfishly focuses on brewing the styles of beer that we wish to drink. Fortunately for everyone else, our tastes are extremely diverse…

In 2024 the Fellowship Of Beer brewery was founded, using separate kit, and focussing on rare, unusual styles as well as barrel aged beers generally in a small batch production.

See separate brewery ... https://brewver.com/breweries/63999/The-Fellowship-Of-Beer

We’d hate to be described as a one-trick pony, or for someone to say our beers all taste the same with subtle nuance, and to this end we are constantly experimenting with bold new flavours, natural ingredients, diverse techniques, with nods to cutting edge research and seemingly lost historic recipes.

From lagers to wild sours, and Imperial Stouts to highly-hopped IPAs, spontaneous and salted fruited beers to barrel aged Old Ales, and everything in between; our extremely busy industrial tap room is sure to cater for taste buds of all perversions, and you can be sure of a warm Northern welcome too.

Yearly since inception we have grown in size, output, and fanbase. 2019 was no exception, with a massive relocation to a new 2.4HL brewery, bigger tap room, street food, and flexible function areas in the heart of Newton Aycliffe’s industrial estate, with more space for us to make a mess whilst brewing…

Panda at home, thanks to Ed Danlo, 14/09/23. Moderately hazed orange golden with a just off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is ripe melon, mixed tropical fruits, hint of guava, tangerine. Taste comprises orange zest, mandarin, tangerine, light stoned fruits, bread dough, peach. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness. Passable IPA ... a touch sweet and lacking any bitter punch.
