- North East beer, pub & brewery news, views and what's on too.

Reopening of Wetherspoons Five Swans in #Newcastle after a four month refurbishment going well - Kitchen broken so no food. And come 7.55pm, no water, so time at the bar (And it looks no different internally)

Great to finally make it all the way up to @BearClawBerwick. Incredible to see such a commitment to barrel aging. Meeting people like Ricky and seeing their passion is the reason I wanted to write about beer in the 1st place. Really need to get back to it...

Heading to the @cricketworldcup at @DurhamCricket? Make sure you take cash to buy your (short measured) pints of @bira91 as most of the bars don't take card and at the 1st of 3 matches the queues are long at the few tills that do. #CWC19

@McCollsBrewery @TheFreeTradeInn @SeahamFoodFest Yes, I think we all underestimated the power of the sun today. Have turned a shade of those lobsters @the_lamp_room were selling. Was a great day - Though the arms will hurt in the morning from carrying a video camera all day. Hope you had plenty of people trying a local brew.

Is this the best view from a bar in the North East today? @McCollsBrewery giving @TheFreeTradeInn a run for its money at @SeahamFoodFest today

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

@pablodiablo67 @McCollsBrewery @TheFreeTradeInn @SeahamFoodFest Well yes, @shipinnnewton is always lovely. Perhaps "The best view from a bar that doesn't usually exist" then...

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Congrats to @NE_Alchemy and @BlocknBottle's @meatsaltsmoke on their cracking new home at The Old Coal Yard in Byker - Great #beer and great #charcuterie = A winner.

@rosspgoodwin @IndyManBeerCon @belgianbar @MortSubiteBar Thanks. Not sure we'll make it that far out, but we'll get them on our Google map for next time we're out seeing family that way. Cheers.

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Fashionably late as always we find ourselves in #Manchester a day after @IndyManBeerCon has finished (Boooo!) Can anyone offer any #recommendations of where we should be drinking? Thanks.

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

@Ruddspumps @craftbeerncl @IndyManBeerCon @CafeBeermoth Thanks. I have added it to our list for later in the evening.

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

@CharlieHJM Thanks. Managed to find our way to @The_Gaslamp where the @LervigBeer 3 Bean Stout and Boon 2-yr-old Foeder 95 ate tasting amazing!

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Beer and cheese - Is there any better combination?

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

After an 8hr drive from the North East to deepest, darkest Wales (well that may just be the weather in Swansea) is there any better sight than a brewery tap with a well stocked bar?

Breaking #beer news: @AnarchyBrewCo to move to Newcastle - Details: https://t.co/BxPDrrweGI

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

A lovely sunny Sunday down by the Tyne and plenty of people wandering down to visit the newly opened @BTRBrewCo, under the Tyne Bridge. If you are heading down the entrance is by the end of the Swing Bridge. Been down already? Tell us what you think!

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

@CraftBeerNCL And @CannyBrewEd will be loner in the red hoodie 😂

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Who's out for free beer this evening?

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Satsuma & Seaweed Gose? A whole bar of beery delights from @fourpurebrewing At @TheFreeTradeInn tonight.

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

@CraftBeerNCL @TheFreeTradeInn @fourpurebrewing @scream_pizza Do say hello! (@CannyBrewEd will be propping up the bar somewhere)

[CannyBrew @CannyBrew]

Happy St Andrew's Day to all our Scottish friends (And particularly to those who are joining @mjeffbrown at @nclwineschool for tonight's Scottish beer tasting)
