Things to do in Newcastle upon Tyne, England: The Best Breweries
Once a shipbuilding city, Newcastle's flashier claim to fame is nightlife. Throw in a heap of premium restaurants serving foods from all over the world and it's no wonder young partiers choose to blow their hard-earned (or not-so-hard-earned) cash in Newcastle. While these amenities are certainly a draw for the hipsters and culture-seekers, it's the locals that make Newcastle a truly special place to visit. "Geordies," as they are often called, embody the pride, industriousness and resilient spirit of their city.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 9 reviews
Anarchy Brew Co. started life back in 2012 in Morpeth, Northumberland, and has built up a reputation for producing quality beers packed with well-balanced flavours. Following on from the success of core beers such as Blonde Star and Citra Star, the brewery has expanded over the past seven years to creating more iconic beers, in keg, cask, and their new 440ml cans. October 2018 saw the brewery move to a bigger site in Walkergate, Newcastle upon Tyne, with the addition of a new taproom playing host to tap takeovers, brewer meet-ups, gigs, DJ sets, and other popular events every Friday and Saturday. Beers from Anarchy Brew Co. can now be found across the globe, proving popular in Russia, Italy, Finland, and many other countries, and with recent collaborations with 7 Fjell Bryggeri (Norway), plus several more in the pipeline, the brewery continues to go from strength to strength.

Popped in with some friends early on a Friday afternoon and it was understandablely pretty quiet. However, we received a friendly welcome from a member of staff (Rosie). The selection of cask and keg beers was excellent and the cask beer was of great quality and also at a very reasonable price. It was interesting to have a look around as and see that the place caters for all ages and tastes. Unfortunately we could only stay for two beers as Tyne Bank Tap was our first step on a mini pubs crawl. I look forward to returning and staying longer.
