Probably the most pretentious shipping container in the country. They really do think they are something. In reality it's a reasonably sized bar with a restaurant area to the left. The brewing kit is in a room to the right. Loads of keg lines, but only 2 cask ales brewed using the on site kit. The seating options are all pretty uncomfortable with wooden settles and chairs or benches for the most part. They only serve beer in 1/3rds or 2/3rds for no reason that is obvious. We had one of each and it was a rip off £4.50 for a 3% ish table beer. Been now, don't need to come again, although the seating on the quayside would be great in Summer.

This brewery and tap house is situated on the Gateshead side of the Tyne under the Tyne Bridge and seems to be constructed of lots of shipping containers and classes itself as an independent container community.There are also other outlets here including a coffee place and a bike shop which i think all sell beer but could possibly be bottles.
