SMOG ⛅️

Our mega popular house pale ale from Ouseburn neighbours has had a little recipe tweak is tasting unbelievably good!

Now single hopped using top quality Mosaic hops, and with a few more oats in the mix, it’s smoggier and juicer than ever!

Perfect for pints in the intermittent sun 🍻 ☁️ ☀️

Fun fact.. For one reason and another Donzoko’s Helles lost its place on the bar a couple of years ago, but we were always determined that The Don should have something on the permanent beer list. You lot have really gone to town on Smog and we now sell soooo much more Smog that we didn’t Northern Helles!
Who’d have thunk it??

It’s a keeper, and now tasting it’s best yet!

NEW FOOD VENDORpizza
Every Sunday!

Hola.

Some lovely news for you all, starting this Sunday we’ll have Hizzy’s Pizza van here every Sunday through the summer.

After making their Free Trade debut two weeks ago, we knew we had to find a home for them in our weekly lineup.

So starting this Sunday you’ll find Hizzy’s here for your Sunday sessions, and keep your eyes peeled for some special beery happenings through the summer too.

Something Peculier is coming…

A meeting of two iconic Northern beers, one timeless classic, one modern day hero!

The timeless depth and complex character of Old Peculier meets the vibrant, modern edge of Baby-Faced Assassin.

This is not a revival or a reinterpretation – it’s a bold fusion of heritage and innovation, shaped by generations of brewing experience.

Peculier Assassin will be pouring tomorrow in time for Pizza Night, and backed up by some extra treats from the legendary Rooster's Brewing Co.

Well, that was the week that was…

An absolute scorcher, a record week for lager sales, and bringer of around good vibes!

Thanks so much to everyone that joined us and especially to our amazing team! We couldn’t be prouder of them this weekend, especially in this heat!

Last week we promised you some fun today, and whilst all of the beers were pouring it all kind of got swallowed up in the sunny Bank Holiday crowds.

So in light of that, we’ve decided that this will be Chouffe Week! We’ll be pouring Session, IPA and the new Framboise through until the weekend. So if you’ve avoided the pub over the silly period, come down and fill your pointy boots this week!
