The Leamside brewery is based at The Three Horseshoes in Leamside, County Durham. Brewing commenced in May 2012 on a 2.5 barrel plant purchased from Oban Ales. Brewing beer has always been a dream for us. After many years sourcing and serving the finest quality real ales across our pub estate and winning many awards in doing so, it seemed like the natural progression. The dream of brewing started back in 1998 whilst studying Applied Microbiology at the University of Sunderland under Dr Keith Thomas one of the founder members of the industry renowned Brewlab.
