Darwin Brewery

Thanks to Jeff Evans, I finally learned about this Sunderland based brewery, Darwin.

“Established in 1994 the Darwin Brewery has grown steadily over the last ten years to become one of the most respected micro-breweries in the north of England. Recent awards of ‘CAMRA North East beer of the Year 2003/4’, ‘2004 Asda Beer Festival’ award and most recently the ‘2005/6 Tesco Beer Challenge’ is the perfect way to celebrate it’s decade in Business.”

Two of the most intriguing beers in their range are the Ghost Ale, their flagship golden ale with citrus tones and the Hop Drop Champion Ale made with cluster and liberty hops.

They also have a sister company, Brewlab that does that pesky technical and science sides of things. AND they also team up with the University of Sunderland, so that the next generation can see inventive British brewing.
