A Fresher IPA collab with @gridbrewing launches 5pm Friday @thefreetradeinn
September 11, 2017
This Friday from 5pm we will be launching the first of 2 new beers coming over the next month.
“A Fresher IPA” is a New England IPA brewed in collaboration with @thealetrail using a tweaked version of his “Keys Phone Wallet Tabs” home brew competition winning brew (https://twitter.com/GridBrewing/status/872871249650778113). For the brew day we were also joined by @hoppytweets as we tried to teach these hopinionated beer aficionados a thing or two about how to actually make the stuff 🙂
Exclusively for launch night @thefreetrade there will also be the only cask of this beer in existence, which in addition to the Citra, Simcoe and Mosaic dry hop of the standard beer has also be hopped in the cask with Nelson Sauvin.
Come down this Friday and join us to try “A Fresher IPA” and more of our range…
Green #StPatricksDay collaboration beer with @ScotBio launches this Friday @mensbar
March 13, 2017
We’re excited to announce a very limited edition of Lab Session will be released this Friday to celebrate St Patrick’s Day, exclusively @mensbar.
We have collaborated with @ScotBio to incorporate their product Phycocyanin, a natural blue extract from algae, which gives the beer a very distinctive green colour.
Some of the original research into Scottish Bioenergy’s production process for Phycocyanin was developed at Newcastle University by graduate EngD student Chelsea Brain under the supervision of Dr Gary Caldwell.
We’re super excited for you to try it, but be sure to get there fast as there is only 100L available. This version of Lab Session is very true to the name…
Friday 10th March: Brewery Bash Part 2 with @sghettimonstah
March 3, 2017
Next Friday (10th March), from 5pm, Stu Brew we will be holding its Brewery Bash Part 2, following on from our previous event at the brewery way back in early October. Following the success of the event, held with @sghettimonstah as the food outlet, we have decided to repeat the plans!
As usual, Stu Brew is opening the doors to its brewery and inviting you all to come down, have a look around and, most importantly, try some of our beers. We are situated around the back of Merz Court, Newcastle University, opposite Lovers Lane.
We will have a range of our beers on offer, including our Red Brick, Into the Black and Extended Overdraught!
Starting at around 5pm, we’ll stay at the brewery until around 10pm, and then head down to some other great pubs around Newcastle if people are interested.
The Sghetti Monstah will be back at the event, and Stu Brew members will be entitled to a brand new deal exclusive to this event.
A Stu Brew glass and ‘Meatballs on a Stick’ dish (or £3 equivalent at Sghetti), will be charged at £5, with your first drink from the glass being half price!
Non-members are also welcome at our event, so feel free to bring your flatmates/friends!
A reminder for non-members, if you want to join our society, the following link will take you to the appropriate page on the Students Union Membership. Membership costs £5 for the entire year. This will sign you up to the mailing list for potential oppurtunities that arise within the society too, such as brewing on a weekend.

We will also be selling some bottled products on the evening, so make sure you head along to the brewery to get your own!
We look forward to seeing you all at Stu Brew next Friday!

February 14, 2017
On Saturday, our new Spiced Beer was brewed by our student brewmaster James, with help from two society members.
Here is a photo from the beginning of the brew, with our society members transferring the wort from the mashing process.
Some spices were added to the brew, followed by a final addition of orange peel and ginger, as can be seen in the images above. The beer is now currently on chill.
We can’t wait to taste it, and as importantly, decide upon a name for the beer!
