Been experimenting with using Koji mold in the brewhouse for the last two years and believe we stumbled on something really cool, new? and delicious! Next week...

Last night's Keller Bier launch at Donzoko was excellent - a fantastic quaffer, malty and bitter, banked in true Teeside style. And as a bonus, a new pale ale collab with Fourman, absolutely loaded with Galaxy hops giving it an almost kerosene edge. (IYKYK) Again, very easy drinking.
An orange beer can with a black crow logo, and a glass of pale ale with a BIG FOAM logo.A banked pint of Donzoko Keller bier, a malty, bitter but very sessionable new lager. On a wooden bar top with a brass beer engine and tiled pump clip behind it.

Lot of people asking where they can get Keller outside of the north east, to which we say you can't! Hop on a train, come to Newcastle, have a fun, local beer experience.

We have re-brewed our Koji rice lager. "Donmai" collaboration with Minoh beer in Osaka, with some tweaks to the koji process below. It is rice, malt and noble hops, but tastes like tinned peaches and cream. I don't think ive ever been so excited for one of our beers. More as it develops x

I’m not usually a great fan of tap rooms. Fortunately, I’m only 5 mins from the Donzoko one. The giant red curtain does a good job of deadening the sound. Horrible sound is what puts me off most taprooms.

UK hops + flavours in general are more subtle than some of their new world counterparts. We attempted to bring them out in HIDDEN SOUNDS, a pils we made with @cloudwaterbrew.bsky.social hopped with english Solero, big white peach nectarine floral oily whistle clean lager beer!

CELLARS is a 6.2% bock, brewed with "Most" hops. It tastes like strawberries hay and honey. It's usually a taproom exclusive but I have decided to release it wider.

HEARTWOOD is a 5.5% west coast pale, rippingly bitter, but contrasted with new, fruitier varieties of hops, namely Strata and Alora. Big melony strawberry, then a rip of pine sap bitterness, a pint of two halves. 🪵🌲🍺

Instead of visiting the £75M Guinness brewery where they don't make Guinness why not visit the £0.25M Donnies brewery where they make Donnies.

Off to Tettnang this week, to sniff and select some hops from the family farm we buy from. Then up to Berlin to brew using those green hops at Fuerst Wiacek. Content will ensue.

EDGE OF TOWN is a 6% west coast IPA. All Simcoe, resin, bitter and bright. A lil tribute to the breweries who invented these beers, and intrepid beer fans drinking them in industrial estates on the edge of town.
