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.

On keg at Curfew, Berwick-upon-Tweed - Crappy looking hazy pour, not pretty, but passable. Wins you over with a myriad of citrussy hoppiness, grapefruit, lemon - both sweet and rind - floral, and tropical hints as well. Worth a repeat.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good refreshing minerally crispness. Thin bodied pale malts, a modest sweetness. Light cooling pine. Thin citrus. A little grass. Mild hop spice. Light finish. Tidy but there is nothing here to get your teeth into.
