Northumberland Brewery
Mighty Beers

Muckle Brewing is a small rural family run Northumberland Brewery, established in 2016. Situated close to Hadrian’s Wall this private brewery is located in the garden of owners Tom and Nicola Smith. The brewery specialises in small batch unfiltered and naturally carbonated beers in cask and bottle.

The larch clad brewery building replaced a former garden shed and was originally planned to be a sunroom with space for Tom’s home-brew kit in the corner however, as the building progressed it became apparent from the existence of only a single window that Tom had deviated from the brief! Out went the soft furnishings to be replaced by a 1.3 barrel brew kit which was then upgraded to 2.5 barrels in 2022.

Muckle Brewing beers are bottled by hand using a gravity fed system before being conditioned in the warm brewery building for two weeks. Next is labelling using a hand wound system before boxing up in reused and recyclable cardboard with paper tape. We are proud of our low beer miles footprint with transport kept to a minimum. The Muckle Brewing campervan is loaded direct from our cold store and off to the Northumberland Farmers Markets
