KEGS are being cracked open in celebration at one of the county’s breweries after one of its most popular beers saw off international competition. The Twice Brewed Brew House, near Bardon Mill, has picked up a Double Gold award with its entry of Juno Pilsner into the European Beer Challenge 2021. Billed as ‘Europe’s Most Important Beer Competition’, The Twice Brewed’s Juno was one of thousands of beer samples entered from breweries across 39 countries. But it was the Northumberland-made Bohemian style Pilsner that left the judges ‘blown away’. “We are absolutely thrilled to have been given this award - our first international prize - and will be hanging it proudly in the brew house”, said head brewer of The Twice Brewed Brew House, Matthew Brown.

Northumberland brewery The Twice Brewed Brew House has teamed up with No Club Running Club in Gateshead to launch a new limited edition pale ale beer along with the t-shirt after a surprise crossing of paths between both organisations. Head Brewer Matthew Brown - a keen runner in his spare time - happened to meet graphics designer and founder of the virtual No Club Running Club, Alan Wardle, with the pair going on to becoming friends as a result. “We live right near each other in Dunston and often saw each other in passing,” said Matthew. “When Alan floated the idea of a collaboration, I was really keen to get involved.”
