Almasty Brewing Company

Newcastle upon Tyne

Almasty Brewing is an independent craft brewery offering a diverse selection of beers through their online shop. Their core range includes options like the German Pilsner (5% ABV), a traditional German-style pilsner brewed with fine German malt and whole leaf hops for subtle spice and citrus notes. They also produce special editions such as the Blended Barrels (10% ABV), a stout aged for 24 months in bourbon, rum, and whisky barrels, resulting in a complex blend of vanilla, coffee, prunes, and caramel flavors. For enthusiasts seeking variety, Almasty offers a Can Club subscription, providing a monthly box of 12 canned beers featuring their latest specials and core selections. While their taproom is currently closed, they typically serve fresh beers across six keg lines and two cask lines, complemented by traditional wood-fired Italian pizzas.
