Old Boots left this review about Donzoko Brewing Taproom

One of four or five brewery taps in the Ouseburn/Byker area all in easy walking distance. Located in a narrow street of car workshops and suchlike there’s a German vibe to the beers, the brewery is standard shiny steel vessel things and you sit next to them. The counter is to your right and supports a range of Germanic style founts, a board behind has the available beers listed - all keg. Part of the brewery is behind a big red curtain, nothing interesting just old pallets and empty kegs. The toilets are gender neutral with common washing facilities.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Donzoko Brewing Taproom

Newly established brewery taproom, but housed in a larger-than-usual former industrial unit. The seating, set between the counter and a large number of brewing vessels, is also more pub-like than the expected canteen tables. No cask ales made at the moment, but there is an interesting range of craft keg beers in a variety of mostly German styles, including the flagship Northern Helles and a Festbier. Only a brief stop, but I enjoyed a chat with a knowledgeable chap (who could well have been the brewer) who was among the team behind the bar.
