Darwin Brewery is a North Shields based brewery[1] which opened in 1994 and expanded in 2002.[2]
Originally a brewing school of the University of Sunderland with an 18-gallon plant, the demand for the beers that were brewed there spurred an expansion and full commercialisation.
In 1997, Darwin acquired Hodges Brewery in Crook, County Durham, and used the premises as the main brewing plant until the 2002 expansion into their current premises in Hendon, Sunderland.
In 2022 Darwin Brewery moved to a new site in North Shields, sharing premises with Three Kings Brewery.
