Month: October 2018

Hello everyone,

We hope you had a fabulous week. Its that time of year when the nights are getting darker and the temperature is dropping but fear not, we still have lots of fun activities on the go! On Saturday Chris, Coral and Kristin brewed Lab Session. We’ll be racking off a few casks and the rest is going into going to keg. If you’re interested in one drop our Sales Team an email. We recently brewed a new beer called Non Linear Regression which is now available for sale!

For those of you who had been planning to come down to the TwubQuiz tomorrow evening we regret to inform you that it has been postponed until later on in the year. Keep an eye on our social media channels for more updates. Events wise this week,ÂHarry and Lucy had a great time meeting those of you who came and said hello at our can launch at CentrAle on Friday evening. CentrAle is a great bottle shop in Central Station with a huge selection of beers from around the world. A big thank you must be extended to Bruce and Ellen for hosting the event.Â

Hello!

This weekend we’ve been busy brewing two beers for Pacific House. On Saturday, Paul, Dom and Kacper were brewing a house bitter for them – sadly not all brews go to plan so we’ll be busy brewing it again this Wednesday. Harry, Charlie and Jeanette had a more successful day on Sunday brewing the Pacific House Blonde. Both beers will be launching soon at Pacific House. Here’s them below with their lovely new t-shirts… Recipe design club have also been busy this week making two different Irish Red Ale prototypes – we can’t wait to try them!

 

The highlight of the week has to be our trip to Craft Beer Calling (which was AMAZING) on Thursday night. The committee went along and everyone was thrilled by the atmosphere. One highlight was the German beer chalet with it’s roaring log fires. It was definitely a night to remember.

Our cans have arrived! We are so excited about them. We’re going to be launching them at CentrAle between 3:30 & 6:30 this Friday. Centrale is tucked away in the train station but is a great bottle shop! We’ve also just sent off Malliot Blanc and our new ‘Non-Linear Regression’ off to can this week. Hopefully you’ll be able to get your hands on them mid to late November.

That’s all for this week!

Cheers,

Hello!

We hope you’re well.. .What a busy week we’ve had!

On Sunday, Chris, Jack and Sanghee were busy brewing a stout. If you would like to get involved with a brew day keep an eye on your emails for more information. We also got to use our brand new toy… An inline oxygentator! We can’t wait to see the results that come from using it.

The recipe design team are busy brewing this week and are prototyping two different Irish Red Ale recipes we’d like to wish good luck to everyone involved brewing! Hopefully our next batch of canning runs will be going off later this week which also means our cans of VMS and Extended Overdraught will be back. If you fancy getting your hands on some cans contact Harry and Lucy at sales@stubrew.com.

On Friday we took a group of members on a little pub crawl starting from the launch event of Core Curriculum at the Town Mouse. A really big thank you must go to Jon and the Town Mouse staff for a great cider weekend they’ve put on this weekend. After having a pint of cider at the Town Mouse we then headed to Ouseburn via the Tanners Arms and The Cumberland Arms.

We then reached our final port of call, Northern Alchemy’s Spark up event. It was a fantastic event made even better by an amazing selection of music that the DJ played to accompany the great range of beers on tap. The evening was topped off with a pint n the fantastic Free Trade Inn.  Thanks to you lovely lot of people who joined us on the bar crawl. It was great to meet some new faces!

A lot of you will be very happy to hear that we are arranging a Stu Brew Tour! We’ve got an information session planned this Wednesday in Merz Court L101 for all of you who fancy finding out a bit more. You can find the event here… Also, for all of you quiz lovers we have a very special quiz planned. More information will be released this week so keep a close eye on our social media channels!

Hello!

We hope you enjoyed our Brewery Bash on Friday. A lot of you came down and it was fab to see some faces we recognised and also great to see some new people. As usual the atmosphere was electric and made even better by our friends from Newcastle Student Radio who supplied us with some funky tunes to boogie to. Thankfully the weather stayed dry although it was a a tiny bit cold but that didn’t stop us!Â

Harry, Kenton and Jordan brewed a batch of Lab Session for can, cask and keg on Sunday. Kenton and Jordan are our second pair of brewers who have nabbed a ‘Been There, Brewed It’ T-Shirt for completing a brew day.

Our Recipe Design meeting is on Tuesday at 5pm in the Buttery, as usual, this week. Thank you to the bunch who came along last week. It’s a great opportunity to make new beers and get to grips with experimenting what goes into recipes. Tom was busy making a stout last week.

Hello!

We hope that you’ve had a really good Fresher’s Week, whether you’re a returning student or new to the university. As runners-up for Society of the Year 17/18 at Newcastle University we wanted to ensure that for Fresher’s week we properly showcased the society. We are so happy with the interest we’ve had into the society so far!

It was great to meet everyone at the Fresher’s Fair at the start of Fresher’s week. If you are interested in joining our society the link can be found here: https://www.nusu.co.uk/getinvolved/societies/society/7521/ and for only £10 you can get involved with something that really will be worthwhile. A membership will give you access to brew days. If you’re wondering “But I know nothing about how to brew!” don’t worry as you’ll be taught how the process works and given a step by step instruction on our brew days. It’s a great learning experience!

Last Tuesday we went for a Pizza and a Pint at Newcastle Tap. Thank you to everyone who came along. It was great to meet some fresh faces. It was a lot of fun! As well as this, we’ve had a lovely week with our bar on campus. Thank you to everyone who came and had a pint! Fresher’s Week was awesome – oh to be a fresher again….

On Sunday Chris, with the help of Keenan and Sumile, made Malliot Blanc for can. They were really enthusiastic and asked some brilliant questions. It was great to brew with you both! For those of who are keen to get further involved in brewing keep a close eye out as we’ll have lots of brew days coming up! Keep checking your emails if you’re a member.

Our Recipe design team are having their first meet up of the year on Tuesday 2nd October at 5pm in the Buttery in Merz Court. For any issues or further information you can email Tom on president@stubrew.com.

We’d like to congratulate James Milne, our ex Brewmaster and Sales who is now Brewery Assistant at Brewdog, it’s great to see Stu Brew graduates go out in industry. Here he is with Hugh, another Stu Brew graduate who is leaving his job at Brewdog to become Senior Brewer at Beavertown.

We’ve got two more events that are upcoming! The first is our Brewery Bash which is this Friday (October 6th) in the carpark of Merz Court. Come on down from 5pm. The atmosphere at these events is always amazing.

We’ve made some cider which we’re going to be launching on Friday 12th October at the Town Mouse. If you haven’t been to the Town Mouse yet, we definitely recommend a visit. It’s a warm pub with an amazing welcoming atmosphere. We’ve created a cider in collaboration with Tyneside & Northumberland CAMRA which is called Core Curriculum. Keep Friday 12th October free for this great event: it’s not one to be missed! Here’s a funky poster containing more information and keep an eye on our Facebook for more information.

That’s all from us for this week. Keep following our social media channels for updates.

Cheers
