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, gravity dispense at Merton Summer Beer Festival July 18th and 19th 2008 Had this Thursday 17th Poured mid amber with white head, lovely pump clip image btw of the ’Angel of the North’. Tasty beer that was both quite malty and just a little fruity, uncomplicated, easy drinking and not bad at all.

[i] Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, 08-11-07 [/i] Dark brown almost no head at all. Mild fruity aroma but little else of note. A restrained bitterness and yet this pushes back through at the end, otherwise a decent fruity bitter, quite dry but interesting enough.

Cask gravity at Kingston BF 2007. Certainly has a good hit of Centennial hops, especially on the finish. Not a fantastic aroma, but mouthfeel and finish are excellent. Grapefruit, fleshy fruit finish is very good.

Cask at GBBF 2006 from the CBoB entry cask. A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is very light with notes of malt, hops, and grain. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and grain as well as light notes of honey.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Gold with lasting thick cream head. Lime and hop and earthy aroma. Yeasty. Cask conditioned lager with some Saaz. Soft, creamy in mouth. Weird, but I liked it. Not a pilsner maybe, but still not a bad beer.

Wylam’s former summer seasonal "Summer Magic" is now a permanent all year beer in Wylam’s portfolio, and the name has accordingly been changed to "Wylam Magic". ABV is 4.2%. Sampled cask conditioned at the Lambton Worm (JDW), Sunderland, on a cold winter’s day. Pale golden colour, next to none head but a decent lacing. Moderate fruity aroma. Light bodied, flavour is citrussy light and refreshing, with just enough hops to make it interesting.
