Morning all, just to let you know this months special ale will be NORTHUMBERLAND GOLD, at 4.5% ABV. order soon if you want some, as it is going out quickly as we speak. It was last brewed about a year ago.

Also, our tremendously popular TYNESIDE BLONDE is now featured in the very prestigious venue THE SAGE, in Gateshead. We look forward to seeing how popular this is, as a local ale should be a feature here.

As the closest brewery to the place it can certainly be said to locally sourced. I suppose if the van broke down, we could send Malcolm with a couple of 9's on the trolley from the brewery, across the Milleniun Bridge, and hey presto the jobs a good 'un.

Speaking of TYNESIDE BLONDE, the first batch is to be bottled in 2 to 3 weeks, and will then be available to the drinker at all of the usually outlets. I'll confirm its launch to you all on here closer to the time.

In the meanwhile, the brewery has had its best ever January, thanks to you good beer quaffers, and February has also started very well, with sales to the free trade and wholesale keeping us all very busy.

Cheers, and happy drinking, Northern Brewer.
