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.

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…

Bottle from my Fellowship of Beer subscription. The aroma is boozy, fruity and very chocolatey. Rich. Dark and glossy. Foamy tan head soon retreats to the rim. Flavourwise it matches the aroma. There a big dollop of sweet dark fruit. Molasses. Chocolate. Boozy - seems barrel-aged despite the lack of reference to this in the blurb. Gradually the sweetness amps up. Thick bodied. Oily. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Gonna sip this because it is so sweet. Otherwise would score it higher.

Bottle from my Fellowship of Beer subscription. Aroma is quit tart. Peachy but tart. Sweet fruit edge. Hazy light orange. Frothy foamy white head thins out. Medium-heavy bitter. Tart peach with a vinous streak. A hint of sherbert. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy going sour. In this instance, too easy going.
