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…

More from the brethren. Opaque toffee brown. Microbubbled light beige head. Aroma has chocolate, caramel and sweet cherry. The aroma is cherry dominated. Sweet yet sour. Underlying chocolate and malts. For some reason it makes me think of Turkish Delight, but specifically the shitty Cadbury version. Gradually gets tarter and tartier. Light. Thin if slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. It's lively. Long astringent finish. Nice enough but but for me ot somehow fails to jist male the totop mark.
