Stu Brew’s very happy 2nd birthday!

On Friday evening Stu Brew hosted its 2nd Birthday Bash in style. The party also represented the launch of our new branding.

Our birthday began with a talk from @Heineken, which provided our members/students with a range of useful information regarding graduate opportunities within different sectors of the company. One of the Heineken representatives was Alex Boden, a previous committee member at Stu Brew. Members of the current Stu Brew committee showed Alex and Peter Sharp around the Brewery prior to the talk.

The birthday celebrations then continued within the Venue in Newcastle University Students Union. We offered our Red Brick, Extended Overdraught, True Wisdom, Raspberry Blonde and Milk Stout on tap, whilst also selling bottles of Red Brick.

Newcastle University’s very own Jazz Orchestra provided live music at our birthday. One of Stu Brew’s committee Michael was within the orchestra. I think its safe to say they were a huge success, and everyone at Stu Brew would like to thank them for their hard work!

Stu Brew offered its successful food+drink members deal again at the event, in collaboration with Manny’s Pizza (@mannyspizzadeli); with a £4 deal including pizza slice and pint!

Entertainment at our birthday came via a few different pub games, with the giant Jenga and Twister being particularly popular. England v Scotland was also played on the big screens, for everyone to enjoy too!

We can confirm that Manny’s Pizza (@mannyspizzadeli) will be serving at the bash, with a great combined member deal to be announced soon, following the successful food+pint deal for members at the Brewery Bash. There will be live music via Newcastle University’s Jazz Band at the event!

Stu Brew’s New Look

Over the next few weeks you may notice a few changes around here…

Our design team has been working alongside @thumbdesign to generate a new brand identity for Stu Brew. We feel this branding gives a stronger and more refined feel to Stu Brew’s image than the one we developed when we began two years ago.

We wanted to retain the idea of using a hop as the main part of the logo, whilst also introducing elements bringing a visual connection with Newcastle University. The end result forms the main part of the logo.stu_brew_icon_only

The typography used in the new logo is pipe-like, showing our ties to Chemical Engineering; our home here at Newcastle University.

We have also retained hop and malt flourishes within the logo, connecting everything to the science and art of brewing. We love our new look, and we hope you do too. Expect to see new look Stu Brew beers soon!

The Brewery Bash with @sghettimonstah: What a Night!

Yesterday, we held our Open Committee Meeting, before opening the doors of our brewery for our Brewery Party, where we served some of our great range of beers.

Yesterday evening also signalled the first time our new bar, made by students within the Architecture Department here at Newcastle University, was used within a Stu Brew tap event!

14694611_10154554081927071_1792982548_n

We offered our Red Brick, Extended Overdraught, True Wisdom, Breakfast Juice and Raspberry Blonde beers on tap, whilst also selling bottles of Red Brick and Extended Overdraught. It would be fair to say that all of our beers were enjoyed across the night! Loyalty Cards were issued at the bar during the event too!

Sghetti Monster provided brilliant food for everyone at the event in addition. The £3 membership deal (£3 credit at Sghetti Monster + pint at Stu Brew) also went down a treat amongst members at the event.

14694826_10154554081802071_1140007896_nI think it is safe to say that our Brewery Bash was a fantastic success, and everyone at Stu Brew hopes that those who attended had a great time.

Our next event will be our 2nd Birthday Bash, held at Newcastle University Students Union, next month. Further details will be released closer to the time.

We hope to see you all there. And don’t forget to bring your loyalty cards!
