Allendale Brewery

Based in Northumberland, near the borders of Cumbria and Durham, Allendale Brewery have been brewing real ales since 2006.

Back in 2004 Tom Hick registered Allendale Brew Co Ltd and set to work finding premises suitable for commercial brewing in his rural hometown. Investing in part of the old lead mill at Allen Mill with the help of his Dad, the building needed a complete overhaul but he set to and made sure everything was perfect before he brewed his first commercial beer 'Curlew's Return' on Valentines Day 2006.

Tom now runs the business hand in hand with his wife Lucy and head brewer Neil Thomas, who joined the team in 2009.
