Established in 1997 Darwin Brewery has grown steadily to become one of the most respected micro-breweries in the north of England. Our first beers were produced on a very small 18 gallon system based at Brewlab at the University of Sunderland. Since then the brewery has moved to Crook, County Durham with the acquisition of the Hodge's Brewery and back again to our roots in Sunderland where we can be found to this day. Darwin Brewery has always supported training courses at Brewlab with students gaining placement and development experience in brewing, marketing and sales. Regular and unique beers are produced and our head brewer, Tori, is ably assisted by Brewlab staff and expert resources. Our beers are produced to a high quality specification and are increasingly diverse including lagers, continental styles and historic creations. Darwin Brewery - the Natural Selection
