7. Box Social Brewing
Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Box Social Brewing began in 2015 with father and son Steve and Ross Holland. Our aim is to create new, exciting beers to get people talking and question their perception of beer. In Victorian times, middle-class people had few acceptable ways to socialise. A solution was "box socials" - events held at people's houses where they could mix in a risk-free environment. Weβre taking Box Socials into the 21st century, connecting people over great artisan beer. After starting out in a garage, we set up in Newburn on a 6brl kit, built a small tasting room and were soon selling out of beer fast. We moved into our new 15brl brewery in Feb 2019; we now create not only better beer, but more of it! Our goal is simple; to create the best beer we can.

8. Northern Alchemy
Newcastle upon Tyne, England
Northern Alchemy began life as a 1.5BBL microbrewery working out of a converted 30 foot shipping container, lovingly known as The Lab, sited just behind The Cumberland Arms in The Ouseburn area of Newcastle upon Tyne. β Focusing on flavour led beers that sold in keykegs, bottles (330ml) and occassionaly cask. Run by two brothers-in-law Andy Aitchison and Carl Kennedy with an aim to explore what flavours can lend themselves to different beer styles. β Exploring everything that beer can be is our modus operandi. From the variations available in the malt profile to the incredible choices in hops from all around the world. And then there are the flavours (adjuncts) that can be added. All Northern Alchemy beers are entirely natural products. Unfined (no βfiningsβ made from fish swim bladders and therefore suitable for vegans) & unfiltered. This means all of the flavours deliberately chosen for the beers are exactly what the customer should taste. Most of our beers will have a natural haze to them because we donβt subject our beers to these extra processes, in our opinion itβs how beer should be.
