Brinkburn Street Brewery, Ouseburn, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Housed in an old industrial building it’s a brewery tap of two parts and much bigger inside than you may think, to the left downstairs a taproom, to the right what they call the big pub. The big pub is a big long space for eating, music events and private hire, eight kegs on the rear wall. A small shack beside the main thatched, bamboo clad, counter has three pulls but not in use. Fairly mad decor in several styles, Caribbean? Bedouin? Downstairs is a large space not as big as upstairs but more bar like, the counter is at the back and has six pulls to the right and 12 keg taps on the left mostly from the on-site brewery, which is not visible. Their beers are of mixed quality.

Super large brewery shed, seems to be limited cask beer available and the bar is given over to night time entertainment.

A very good vibe in here on our Wednesday night visit, their beers were excellent and very reasonably priced. The majority of the customers were here for a drink and if you fancy a bite to eat there was a kitchen area, which looked busy and bustling. The interior consisted of one central seating area and further seating was outside on decking. We tried a good few of their beers, but I found myself going back for the Quayside Blonde, a good 4% session ale. Eight cask ales on the menu on our visit, well worth a visit this one.
