December 2024

November was another fun and busy month!
And December is packed with exciting things as well 🙌

🎄Merry Christmas!🎄

November, our busiest month of the year, ended with warm weather and sunshine after a period of early morning starts defrosting the Muckle van, and then heavy snowfall on the only Saturday of the year with four Muckle Christmas events arranged!

Having forged a slow snowy path to the remote village of Blanchland, where the event had to then be cancelled for that day, Nicola celebrated with bacon sandwiches and coffee before making her way out five hours later. The following day was snow-free and business brisk as the lovely hardy shoppers made up for lost time.

Having started November with a full cold-store, the stock levels have steadily reduced and our last brew of 2024 is Muckle Tickle golden ale which we’ll divide between cask and bottle.

We do very little cask but have three lovely pubs who are regular customers: The Crown & Anchor on Holy Island, The Pont Tap in Ponteland and The Platform Bar at Hexham Railway Station.

Muckle Tickle has been our most popular beer ever since we started Muckle Brewing back in April 2016.
