The evening will be hosted by David Saragossa, the Bar Manager at Windows on the Tyne, Hilton Newcastle Gateshead and aided by Matt Boyle of the award winning Wylam Brewery.
Over the course of the evening guests can enjoy a range of Wylam bottled beers including Rocket, Northern Kite, Angel, Bohemia and Locomotive, all of which are for sale at the hotel. David who is a huge supporter of the brewery said:
“The Wylam brand has been enthusiastically received by our customers and I am sure their beers will continue to prosper in the months ahead. We have designed our Wylam beer tasting to give our customers an overview of the vast selection of beers available in the Windows Bar."
WYLAM BREWERY was set up in a disused dairy on a farm near Heddon on the Wall (on Hadrian's Wall) in May 2000 by John Boyle and Robin Leighton driven by their passion for real ale. It was three months in the building and the first cask was produced in August that year. The brewery grew rapidly on the strength of the quality of its ales, winning awards at festivals around the UK. They outgrew the original 1000L plant in 2006 and brought on stream a new 3500L plant in August in a bespoke barn conversion. Since then they have enjoyed continued strong growth.
