Description
Wylam Brewery was set up in a disused dairy on a farm near Heddon on the Wall in May 2000 by John Boyle and Robin Leighton driven by their passion for real ale. The brewery grew rapidly on the strength of the quality of its ales, winning awards at festivals around the UK. They outgrew the original 1000L plant in 2006 and brought on-stream a new 3500L plant in August in a bespoke barn conversion. Since then they have enjoyed continued strong growth. In Summer 2016, the brewery moved to its current location at the same time expanding to a 30BBL plant.

Bottle from Darlington railway station. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - soft malt notes with a light fudge thing too. Taste - integrated fudge and malt with a light spice note, making me think Saaz probably. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it’s solid but unexciting.
