There will be a Brewery Tap on site, which will open Thursday to Saturday and will pour exclusive brews and blends that will be exclusive to the premises.

A brand new 30 Barrel brew house has been acquired which will afford the brewery a fifty percent increase in its production capacity. We are at full capacity at our current site in Heddon on the Wall and there is a real thirst for our beers across the UK. The new brew house will give us the opportunity to quench that thirst whilst maintaining our ethos of quality over quantity
