Brewery news

The headline is that we have chosen not to hold a festival of our own in 2021, as we typically would, towards the end of the year. Instead, we plan to organise and support vigorously a celebration of real ale and real cider that is based in pubs and clubs. Over the coming months, as the practicalities become clearer, we shall link with publicans, brewers, and drinkers to decide the timing, format, and finer details of this.

Consett Ale Works is launching a new beer to celebrate the fact that it’s almost 30 years since Glenn McCrory became the very first person from the North East to hold a boxing world title.

S43 have launched two new American craft beers as part of their brand evolvement and diversification plans in to the UK craft beer market.
