History

Wylam Brewery was founded in 2000. It is a 30 Barrel Micro Brewery that resides at the Palace of Arts in Exhibition Park. The Palace of Arts is the last remaining building from the 1929 North East Exhibition, an ambitious project built to celebrate and encourage Craft, Art and Industry at the start of the Great Depression. Having remained almost derelict for nearly a decade, the building has sprung back to life as a fully operational working Brewery. Alongside the Brewery there is a Brewery Tap, open to the public Fridays to Sundays inclusive. The Grand Hall plays host to Live Music, Weddings, Pop Up Events and more. The brewery was founded by John Boyle and Robin Leighton, who began by pawing over their first malt bills and recipes in a potting shed in the village of Wylam, Northumberland.
