Maxim Brewery Following the closure of Vaux Brewery Sunderland and Wards Brewery, Sheffield on 2nd July 1999, the Double Maxim Beer Company Ltd was established the following year by ex Vaux and Wards employees.
Our main brand Maxim Ale was first brewed in 1901 to celebrate the return of the Maxim gun detachment from the Boer War. Major Ernest Vaux (part of the original brewing family) commanded the detachment, which was part of the Northumberland Hussars. Initially the beer was reduced in strength because landlords complained of their customers falling asleep. In 1938 Vaux Breweries increased the beers strength and Double Maxim was born.

Brinkburn St Brewery Brinkburn St Brewery was formed in January 2015 by founder Lee Renforth, we started brewing in September 2015, after a 9 month period of set-up and trial brewing where we obtained valuable help and support from Marble Beers of Manchester, Magic Rock of Huddersfield and Northern Alchemy in Byker, Newcastle.
Over the last 12 months since (to October 2016) we have brewed over 20 different beers that we have tested in over one hundred (100) pubs and clubs in Tyneside and further afield in an attempt to try to identify what real/craft ale drinkers like. Over this period of developmental brewing and market testing, we have now developed a core range of ten (10) beers to meet what we see at present as a largely 3-tier market.
All of our beers include varying degrees of English, ‘US Pacific Northwest Coast’ hops and New Zealand aromatic hops to make traditional types of English ales with varying degrees of hop character. Our present range of beers includes 2 pale ales, a blonde, a session bitter, an amber ale, a brown ale and a porter, along with 3 signature ‘Hop Head’ ales that are US-west coast style, extra hoppy India Pale Ales (IPA’s).
Our marketing department met (over an Al Baik kebab and a couple of pints) and we thought up a ‘saying’ for Brinkburn St Brewery which is “Canny Lush Beer Like!”
We hope that you think our beer is canny lush and that it brings a little taste of the US Pacific Coast and New Zealand sunshine to Tyneside and to you the drinker.

Firebrick Wey-Aye P.A. 5.8 Wey-Aye P.A. Can there be anything more enjoyable and life affirming than hearing WEY-AYE, it’s more than “yes” it embraces “of course” it states complete support. It can be a response to an offer of a cup of tea or to a motion to proceed with a million pound development project; it can even be said alone, to boost spirits at any stage when constructing flat pack furniture. It definitely applies to the concept of introducing an IPA to the Firebrick line up.
In our picture, the seahorse “haurient” (check your heraldry!) is flanked by hops; seahorses appeared as “supporters” on the Newcastle City coat of arms in 1575 and subsequently on the NUFC badge, they denote Newcastle as a sea port. Hops are the main focus of an IPA, India Pale Ales were heavily hopped to either preserve the beer or disquise the souring after an extended journey by sea. So we have woven into one, the themes of hops, seahorses, and that wonderful Newcastle assertiveness in our WEY-AYE P.A.

Things have changed since we first brewed our APA back in 2010, people take more notice about what they drink and general knowledge of beer has increased hugely. Back then relatively few people could tell you what an American Pale Ale was but now it is one of the most popular styles available, so to avoid confusion we have given the beer a new name, one that fits better with our other bestselling beers.

Darwin Brewery Established in 1994 the Darwin Brewery has grown steadily to become one of the most respected micro-breweries in the north of England. Awards like ‘CAMRA North East beer of the Year 2003/4’, ‘2004 Asda Beer Festival’ award and the ‘2005/6 Tesco Beer Challenge’ were perfect ways to celebrate a decade in Business.
Darwin’s first beers were produced on a very small 18 gallon system based at Brewlab at the University of Sunderland. Three years later the brewery expanded to Crook, County Durham with the acquisition of the Hodge’s Brewery and brewed there until 2002 when two factors resulted in a move back to Sunderland.
Firstly continued growth and popularity of the beers meant space was a problem at the Crook plant with production stretched almost to capacity. Secondly, and perhaps even more important was that the recent closure of the Vaux brewery had left the city without a brewery for the first time in over one hundred years.
With both managers and staff having close links to the city the time seemed right to move back to Sunderland, this time with the purchase of Butterknowle’s award winning 12 barrel plant. Darwin pride themselves on the wide range and quality of their beers. This has only been possible thanks to the brewery having access to it’s original 18 gallon test plant.
The Darwin Brewery has always supported training courses at Brewlab with students gaining placement and development experience in brewing, marketing and sales. Today after further developments of Brewlab to a new dedicated location Darwin has moved to make best use of the advanced facilities available at West Quay Court in Sunderland.
Regular and unique beers are produced and our recently appointed brewer, Victoria Thomson, is ably assisted by Brewlab staff and expert resources. Our beers are produced to a high quality specification and are increasingly diverse including lagers, continental styles and historic creations.

Our present range of beers includes 2 pale ales, a blonde, a session bitter, an amber ale, a brown ale and a porter, along with 3 signature ‘Hop Head’ ales that are US-west coast style, extra hoppy India Pale Ales (IPA’s).
Our marketing department met (over an Al Baik kebab and a couple of pints) and we thought up a ‘saying’ for Brinkburn St Brewery which is “Canny Lush Beer Like!”
We hope that you think our beer is canny lush and that it brings a little taste of the US Pacific Coast and New Zealand sunshine to Tyneside and to you the drinker.

Alnwick
The Alnwick Brewery Company Limited initially started to brew beer in Alnwick from around 1750’s from a site in the town’s Dispensary Street. Sadly, in the 1960’s the buildings were pulled down before they could be listed, and the brewery temporarily closed only to be relaunched again in 2005 by the son of the original brewery’s last managing director.
In 2013 the business was acquired by the Harry Hotspur group who also merged into it the significant brewing skills and brewery of another local brewer (namely the former VIP Brewery at Hawkhill).
Since 2016 this integrated business has been focused on building its brewing capacity and extending its product range. From an initial selection of 5 traditional beers namely its range of casks and bottles of IPA, Amber, Stout, Brown & Gold the business has now expanded its product range. In addition to a lager, it now produces our Holy Island beer range, initially only Lindisfarne Brown and Holy Island Bitter, but in 2020 launched a wider range of more modern hoppy beers including,
-St Aidan, a citrus flavoured Cascade
-Whiteblade a light hoppy beer &
-St Cuthbert a light session pale ale
With the popularity for our brews ever increasing we recently launched a refreshing more modern looking branded range of beers in cans which are proving to be extremely popular.
Coming out of lockdown and with the growing focus on staycations our 5 litre containers of beer are being constantly sought-after for all sorts of special social events. And there is more in the pipeline, a new exciting cider will be launched soon.
As we mature, we are also now finding significant demand for us to support smaller businesses with their own bespoke products, particularly those outlets who value locally produced beers.
During the 2020 lockdown work began on the next stage of our journey. We have now created a Brewery Tap and outdoor garden area at our Hawkhill location at Alnwick which is attracting tourists and local visitors alike. Our vision is to next develop the site into a fully blown Visitor Centre that will attract visitors who may want to visit the brewery, see how it is done and enjoy both a beer and some great food now also available there.
Look out for our beers which are now being stocked in a great many pubs and restaurants.

"THREE SWORDS" 2025 SPONSOR: PDL
Kirkstall Kirkstall Brewery is the product of both history and dedication to great beer. Since 1152, beer was brewed by the Cistercian Monks of Kirkstall Abbey, from whom we draw a great deal of inspiration. Long after the dissolution of the monasteries, the first Kirkstall Brewery Company rose on the banks of the River Aire in 1833, and produced highly-regarded beers for 150 years, shipped as far as Australia and New Zealand on its own barges and steamships.
Whilst our own brewery’s history begins as recently as 2011, we have for over ten years been dedicated to producing the best beer possible in a range of styles and formats. Before that, we were the first to import Sierra Nevada to the UK in 2003, and helped introduce the likes of Odell, Stone, Mikkeller, Oskar Blues and Dogfish Head to these shores.
These pioneers of American craft beer helped define our inspirations when it came to brewing beers of our own – and Sierra Nevada even helped us out with some of the hops we needed. Learning from those modern grand masters gave us firm grounding for the kind of beer we are known for: bold, hoppy and without compromise. That said, we also see our beer as a connection to the great historic tradition of Yorkshire beer, which extends to our pubs and the many artefacts we have collected over the years, as well as the drinkability and balance of our beers.
Whilst we have many proud achievements and a heritage to be proud of, we do not rest on our laurels and remain defined by our beliefs and actions in the present day. We believe in connecting the legacy of our past to the innovations of the present, with an unrelenting focus on brewing and serving truly great beer deserving of your appreciation.

Spenside Stables Brewery For many years High Spen and surrounding areas have benefitted from having a local brewery. The Old Potting Shed ‘TOPS’, a brewery renowned for fantastic high quality cask ales. Following Covid brewer Ray Swan decided hang up the hops and retire.
Having had a keen interest and a desire to brew for some time and in agreement with Mr Ray Swan, Mark Lynn decided to take over the mantle. In partnership with local micropub owner Mark Walker aka ’Wig’, who can provide an outlet for sales and business contacts, Spenside Stables Brewery was born.
The brewery now has a different home of historical interest as it is located in what are the only existing original Pit Pony stables remaining in the Northeast, indeed the stables at Beamish Museum are actual replicas of these buildings.
It has been all hands-on deck as the two Marks have worked hard in renovating the stables and establishing the brewery.
Our aim is to continue to provide top quality cask ales to High Spen and surrounding areas.

Cheviot Brewery is microbrewery situated on the Ford & Etal Estate in North Northumberland, producing exciting real ales since 2018.
Like all good ideas, the idea to set up a brewery happened over a throw away remark over a beer, or maybe a few beers, in a Barcelona brewery tap in 2015. Whilst such ideas usually stay in the pub, Pete, Jonathan and Neil turned that remark into a serious conversation and a lot of research. Three years and two months later with ale in our fermenters and cask orders in place, this dream became a reality, thanks not only to a real desire to make great beer that we want to drink but with help and support from all over, not least from the Ford & Etal estate whom have renovated a derelict property on the estate to become Cheviot Brewery.

"PIT PONY" 2025 SPONSOR: AVAILABLE TO SPONSOR
Spenside Stables Brewery For many years High Spen and surrounding areas have benefitted from having a local brewery. The Old Potting Shed ‘TOPS’, a brewery renowned for fantastic high quality cask ales. Following Covid brewer Ray Swan decided hang up the hops and retire.
Having had a keen interest and a desire to brew for some time and in agreement with Mr Ray Swan, Mark Lynn decided to take over the mantle. In partnership with local micropub owner Mark Walker aka ’Wig’, who can provide an outlet for sales and business contacts, Spenside Stables Brewery was born.
The brewery now has a different home of historical interest as it is located in what are the only existing original Pit Pony stables remaining in the Northeast, indeed the stables at Beamish Museum are actual replicas of these buildings.
It has been all hands-on deck as the two Marks have worked hard in renovating the stables and establishing the brewery.
Our aim is to continue to provide top quality cask ales to High Spen and surrounding areas.
We will be using established recipes and developing new flavours as we progress.

Darwin Brewery Beagle 4.1 Beagle Blonde/Golden Ale, light and refreshing, hopped with Willamette for a citrus finish.
"BEAGLE" 2025 SPONSOR: Newcastle Dog & Cat Shelter
Darwin Brewery Established in 1994 the Darwin Brewery has grown steadily to become one of the most respected micro-breweries in the north of England. Awards like ‘CAMRA North East beer of the Year 2003/4’, ‘2004 Asda Beer Festival’ award and the ‘2005/6 Tesco Beer Challenge’ were perfect ways to celebrate a decade in Business.
Darwin’s first beers were produced on a very small 18 gallon system based at Brewlab at the University of Sunderland. Three years later the brewery expanded to Crook, County Durham with the acquisition of the Hodge’s Brewery and brewed there until 2002 when two factors resulted in a move back to Sunderland.
Firstly continued growth and popularity of the beers meant space was a problem at the Crook plant with production stretched almost to capacity. Secondly, and perhaps even more important was that the recent closure of the Vaux brewery had left the city without a brewery for the first time in over one hundred years.
With both managers and staff having close links to the city the time seemed right to move back to Sunderland, this time with the purchase of Butterknowle’s award winning 12 barrel plant. Darwin pride themselves on the wide range and quality of their beers. This has only been possible thanks to the brewery having access to it’s original 18 gallon test plant.
The Darwin Brewery has always supported training courses at Brewlab with students gaining placement and development experience in brewing, marketing and sales. Today after further developments of Brewlab to a new dedicated location Darwin has moved to make best use of the advanced facilities available at West Quay Court in Sunderland.
Regular and unique beers are produced and our recently appointed brewer, Victoria Thomson, is ably assisted by Brewlab staff and expert resources. Our beers are produced to a high quality specification and are increasingly diverse including lagers, continental styles and historic creations.

Theakston Brewery Lightfoot 4.1 Lightfoot
CONTINENTAL ‘BLONDE BEER’ STYLE CASK ALE
Our Lightfoot beer is named after the only other brewery in Masham, at the time, which Theakston took over in 1919. The Lightfoot and Theakston families were close and indeed linked through marriage and therefore it was a natural amalgamation of two well-established businesses. For many years it was rumoured that Theakston took over Lightfoot because they had a better cricket team something that was deemed unacceptable to the brewers in Red Lane! Lightfoot has always been a popular seasonal ale in fact so much so that in 2010 it became a permanent addition to our range and is now available all year round. It’s light, fruity flavour makes it an ideal accompaniment to light curries, seafood dishes and summer salads or on a hot summer’s day perfect just on its own!
Cask Lightfoot is now officially gluten free, click here

Cheviot
Cheviot Brewery is microbrewery situated on the Ford & Etal Estate in North Northumberland, producing exciting real ales since 2018.
Like all good ideas, the idea to set up a brewery happened over a throw away remark over a beer, or maybe a few beers, in a Barcelona brewery tap in 2015. Whilst such ideas usually stay in the pub, Pete, Jonathan and Neil turned that remark into a serious conversation and a lot of research. Three years and two months later with ale in our fermenters and cask orders in place, this dream became a reality, thanks not only to a real desire to make great beer that we want to drink but with help and support from all over, not least from the Ford & Etal estate whom have renovated a derelict property on the estate to become Cheviot Brewery.
Now in its 4th year of brewing Cheviot brewery now runs the Black Bull Inn at Etal and Cheviot Tap, our onsite tap bar for drinks and events.

Alnwick
The Alnwick Brewery Company Limited initially started to brew beer in Alnwick from around 1750’s from a site in the town’s Dispensary Street. Sadly, in the 1960’s the buildings were pulled down before they could be listed, and the brewery temporarily closed only to be relaunched again in 2005 by the son of the original brewery’s last managing director.
In 2013 the business was acquired by the Harry Hotspur group who also merged into it the significant brewing skills and brewery of another local brewer (namely the former VIP Brewery at Hawkhill).
Since 2016 this integrated business has been focused on building its brewing capacity and extending its product range. From an initial selection of 5 traditional beers namely its range of casks and bottles of IPA, Amber, Stout, Brown & Gold the business has now expanded its product range. In addition to a lager, it now produces our Holy Island beer range, initially only Lindisfarne Brown and Holy Island Bitter, but in 2020 launched a wider range of more modern hoppy beers including,
-St Aidan, a citrus flavoured Cascade
-Whiteblade a light hoppy beer &
-St Cuthbert a light session pale ale
With the popularity for our brews ever increasing we recently launched a refreshing more modern looking branded range of beers in cans which are proving to be extremely popular.
Coming out of lockdown and with the growing focus on staycations our 5 litre containers of beer are being constantly sought-after for all sorts of special social events. And there is more in the pipeline, a new exciting cider will be launched soon.
As we mature, we are also now finding significant demand for us to support smaller businesses with their own bespoke products, particularly those outlets who value locally produced beers.
During the 2020 lockdown work began on the next stage of our journey. We have now created a Brewery Tap and outdoor garden area at our Hawkhill location at Alnwick which is attracting tourists and local visitors alike. Our vision is to next develop the site into a fully blown Visitor Centre that will attract visitors who may want to visit the brewery, see how it is done and enjoy both a beer and some great food now also available there.
Look out for our beers which are now being stocked in a great many pubs and restaurants.
