Returned from Newcastle last night after delivering 3 and a half days training to the team there who are taking over the work I have been doing this year. When I arrived on Sunday night this bottle of beer was in my room with a “with compliments” tag around it.
Had not come across the brewery before and some googling revealed that they only started up in 2000 in Northumberland.
It was a fine tasting drop, hoppy with a grand bitter taste – slipped down really well on Monday night as a restorative after a days worth of talking – and at 5% abv no slouch in the alcohol stakes.

I bet it tasted even better, because it was a free and pleasant surprise. :)
rt, It was pretty good - but free is always great where ale is concerned :)
That looks delicious!
Where can you buy it?
Phlegmmy, It was :)
Noddy, Have yet to see it anywhere on a supermarket shelf - still hunting.
On a brighter note Thatcher's cider has reappeared on Sainsburys shelves - I can recommend the vintage!
Even better and £4 for three bottles a Tesco!
I love the quote, 'Lest you forget, the UK Chief Medical Officers recommend that women not exceed 3 units daily, and men, 4. Hilariously then, this bottle of Henry Westons Vintage Special Reserve Cider weighs in at 4.1 UK units of alcohol. Drink it, and the nanny-state will start wagging her finger. I love that.'
