Month: February 2019

It’s that time again, the time for our weekly blog. We had an exciting week last week. On Thursday night the gang went down to the Town Mouse to celebrate the pub’s 2nd birthday! We had brewed a beer especially for the occasion, called All Night Breakfast. We had a great evening and enjoyed the great company. The beer went down really well!

Then, on Saturday it was time to pop over to Tyne Bank Brewery for Craft Beer Evolution. We enjoyed meeting everyone there and hope everyone enjoyed our beer, Sticky Impand Gose’berry Jamwhich we brewed in collaboration with The First & Last Brewery.

Also, the society has been awarded a grant from Go Volunteer. With this grant we’ve been able to fund a fridge for the Home Brew Club to use to store prototypes. You can get involved if you fancy participating in Home Brew Club by coming along to The Buttery in Merz Court Tuesday at 5pm.

Hope you enjoyed finding out what we’ve been up to this week! We’ll be back next week with more updates.

Cheers!

Hi everyone,

First and foremost, this weekend there is a very special event happening that we are so glad to be involved with. Readers of this blog know our passion for the North East beer scene and this weekend is a perfect opportunity to get involved. We’re going to be at Craft Beer Evolution on Saturday. The event, put simply by Tyne Bank Brewery themselves, will see people come together in pursuit of great beer. We have brewed something really special for this event which we’ll be announcing on social media this week, so keep your eyes peeled!

We’ll be there, alongside 10 neighbouring breweries, including Allendale Brewery and The First & Last Brewery. On the bar will be 10 amazing one off craft ales. During the day you’ll get the chance to discuss the North East craft brewing scene with the breweries! For all you foodie lovers out there Meat:Stack serving up the type of food that is the perfect accompaniment to great beer. We’ll be there selling merchandise too so come and say hi if you fancy picking up a snazzy new hoodie or hat! It’s called fashion, darling.

We brewed Malliot Blanc yesterday for another canning run. This will also be available in keg! If you are interested in getting your hands on Malliot Blanc drop our sales team duo, Harry and Lucy, an email.

Keep your eyes peeled on social media this week for more details regarding another Brewery Bash we have planned! We’re also in the process of organising our AGM which is very exciting…

That’s all from us now, but we hope you have a great week.

Cheers!

Hello everyone! Hope you’ve had a great week. We’re back with an update regarding what has been happening in the society. Grab a cuppa or a pint – this is a big one.

On Monday we were joined by an extra guest. Nicci Peetcame along to our committee meeting to take some photos of us for her freelance project documenting diversity in the brewing industry.  A big thanks to Nicci for coming along – we can’t wait to see the pictures.

Friday was a busy day! On Friday we did the first day of brewing our latest collab with Red from First and Last Brewery.It was really good to have Red back! We also met with Naomi Larsson from The Guardian who came to report on the research we do to combat sustainability in the brewing industry. Stay tunedfor more on this!

On Sunday, Chris and Red finished off their brew. The gose is packed with sloes, corriander and raspberries. This beautiful brew will be launching at Tyne Bank Brewery’s Craft Beer Evolution Event on February 23rd. We’re super excited for this event.

This week we’re going to be at the Refresher’s Fair where you can come and meet some of the team. Always fancied getting involved in Stu Brew? Here’s your chance! As well as this, Home Brew Club will be meeting Tuesday at 5pm in the Buttery, Merz Court. This week’s task is a flavoured stout. Feel free to come along if you’re interested in creating some new recipes!

Last, but not least, we are hosting a brewery bash on Friday. We’ve decided to pick a warmer venue this time, since it’s a bit chilly outside lately. Join us in Venue (the bottom floor of Newcastle University Student’s Union) where we’ll be serving up a range of cask and keg beers. Looking for a break from your studies, or simply a Friday evening out – we will be serving from 5pm!

Cheers!
