The owners of the brewery, brothers Garry and Matt Fawson, took the name from a previous brewery in Wallsend, founded by Joseph Mordue in 1879. They used to live in Joseph Mordue’s old house, across the road from the original brewery. Matt was the head brewer at the new brewery, which had a 5 barrel/180 gallon plant. Their fi rst commercial brew, Workie Ticket @ 4.5% ABV, won the Beer of the Festival at the Newcastle Beer & Cider Festival in 1995. Radgie Gadgie @ 4.8% ABV, then went on to win the title in 1996 and 1997, but this is only the beginning. In 1997 at CAMRA’s Great British New logo Beer Festival, Workie Ticket was crowned Supreme Champion Beer of Britain after winning gold in the Best Bitters category. In 1998 at the same festival, Radgie Gadgie won gold in the same category and was runner up Champion Beer of Britain. By 2005 due to their success, they found that they had out grown the brewery and moved to new premises on the Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate, North Shields. This meant that the brewing capacity was increased from a 5 barrel/180 gallon plant to a 20 barrel/720 gallon plant. The brewery has since installed 2 fermenting vessels, which now has the capacity to brew twice a day. In 2011 Robert Millichamp started as the new head brewer, allowing Matt more time to run the business. Garry, Robert and Matt In 2013 the Panda Frog Project was born. The brewery’s experimental arm created by “The Twisted Genius” (Robert Millichamp), under the watchful eyes of the Fawson brothers. The Panda Frog Project has been a great success. The seasonal beers for 2015 are May - “Dark Inception” @ 3.5% ABV, August - “Allelic Drift” @ 5% ABV, October - “Pandazilla” @ 7.1% ABV and December - “Rise of the Frogladon” @ 8.1% ABV. In 2013 the brewery installed a new bottling machine costing £40,000, which was fully operational by the end of the year. The machine has the capacity to fi ll 300-500 bottles an hour. The machine enables the brewery to export to China, Taiwan and Brazil, as well as New Zealand and Sweden. Since then the brewery has been contract bottling for other local and national breweries including Jarrow, Anarchy, Three Kings, Out There, Charnwood, Pinup Beer and Brakspear. Also in 2013 Workie Ticket won gold again in the Best Bitters category at CAMRA’s Supreme Champion Great British Beer Festival. 2014 was the best fi nancial year for the brewery since it opened in 1995. The brewery has gone from strength to strength and continues to win national and regional awards. The latest being “Killswitch 51” @ 5.1% ABV, which won gold in the Champion Bottled Speciality Beers category at the recent Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) Beer X Festival (see page 13). Here’s to the next 20 years. Adrian Gray Mordue Brewery Liaison Offi cer The Brewery Issue 232 • Summer 2015 5 LEOPARD LEISURE PUB Co.

  • The Geese & Fountain Gin List
    The Geese & Fountain Gin List Updated July 2020 Aber Falls Orange Marmalade Gin 2.80 The village of Abergwyngregyn is home to the distillery, and sits at the foot of the famous Aber Falls waterfall. Attracting over 50,000 visitors a year, this picturesque spot is easily accessible, just off the A55 and a stone’s throw from the coast. Previously a slate works in the 19th century, a margarine factory during the world wars, and more recently a drinks wholesale depot, the Aber Falls distillery building has been lovingly restored and refurbished, proving the ideal place to create unique spirits and demonstrate the passion and skill in distilling craftsmanship. Aber Falls have made their name as a whisky distillery ("Distyllfa Whisgi") but have introduced a range of contemporary gins, of which the orange marmalade is spectacular. Using Welsh-inspired botanicals to give an authentic sense of place to their spirits, the gin boasts a balance of sweet and bitter orange flavours, with the pine flavour of juniper: a citrus hit with warming aftertaste, guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds. Adnam’s Rising Sun Gin 3.50 Adnam’s are better known for their brewing than their distilling, but the quality in their spirits has been turning heads lately. As the sun rises above the North Sea, the rye in the fields around Adnam’s distillery in Suffolk is amongst the first to enjoy the early morning rays, or so they say. They add Japanese matcha tea and lemongrass to supplement the usual botanicals, making a sharp tasting, refreshing gin. Audemus Pink Pepper Gin 4.25 Launched in 2013, Pink Pepper Gin is distilled in the living room of founder Miko Abouaf's house in the centre of Cognac.

  • Brewing Science Graduate Profile
    Brewing Science Graduate Profile Charlie Killeen MSc Brewing Science & Practice 2014-15. Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, Giltbrook, Nottingham. Tell us about your current role and what it means in terms of the day to day work you get involved with…. My current job role is Assistant Brewer at Blue Monkey Brewery, a small 25 barrel plant that focuses on producing craft beer. As is the case in a majority of microbreweries, set job roles tend to overlap and can be a lot more hands on compared to larger companies. Current day to day tasks include wort production, racking, yeast handling, stock taking, cleaning and running brewery tours. You name it I’ve put my hand to it at some point! Is this the kind of role you thought you might get involved in when you first came to study brewing at Nottingham? Yes, as I was interested in getting into the craft brewing industry. This role has given me a lot of freedom to apply some of my masters knowledge to real life situations and a great opportunity to get commercial training in all aspects of the brewing process. How does working in the industry match your personal aspirations and expectations of it? I went into the industry quite open minded with my own personal goal of becoming a great brewer. I think played to my advantage as I had no real set ‘expectations’ so to speak, but I have come the realise that every brewery is different and that the industry is ever changing and competitive. In what ways was the MSc Brewing Science & Practice helpful in preparing you for a career in the brewing industry? It gave me a lot more confidence in entering a new industry that can sometimes be a bit daunting at first.
