A new book toasting the renaissance in North East brewing has been published in time for Christmas by our sister magazine, Cheers.
The Great North East Brewery Guide (£15) is the definitive celebration of everything hop related from the Tweed to the Tees. Compiled by award-winning beer writer and Cheers editor Alastair Gilmour, it’s a spirited modern day account of an alcoholic drink whose origins can be traced back to the dawn of civilization. From the smallest and youngest brewers, such as Acklington’s Rigg & Furrow launched in February 2017, to the largest and oldest in Hartlepool-based Camerons set up in 1865, The Great North East Brewery Guide profiles in detail 35 of the region’s great independents for whom the pursuit of the best ale is a passion.
The Great North East Brewery Guide is published by Offstone Publishing at £15 and is available to buy from Waterstones, selected independent bookshops, breweries, pubs and off-licences.
