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.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is caramel malts, some burnt wet wood, mild ashes and some mild toffee as well. Flavour is quite similar with also some floral and herbal notes towards the finish. A bit thin in the body, but otherwise nice.

Bottle. Cherry barley malt aroma. Clear amber color with minimal head. Sweet cherry, barley malt and mildly bitter herbal hops flavor. Nice body. Tasty - I will definitely miss my English ales.

From cask at Standing Order. Pours pitch black with a small off-white to tan head, leaving a dense creamy lacing on the glass. Aroma is dark roasted malt, slight liqourice mixed with dark breadish notes. Smooth roasted, liqourice, slight tarish. Mild acidic yet smoothend touch from the hardroasted malt. Lingering dark malty and vague smoked/tarish touch into the far finish. Lovely.
