A North East brewery is set to increase production after boosting its capacity.

Heaton-based Anarchy Brewery, known for its range of beers sold online and at pubs and clubs across Tyneside and the UK, has purchased four additional fermentation tanks.

This will allow the brewery to produce more of its popular ales and expand production of 'one-off bespoke' brews.

The brewery also created Boot Boys brown ale in a nod to the world-famous Newcastle Brown Ale.

Other beers brewed by Anarchy include Skyfall lager, Skinny Dipa Double IPA, Cheat Code, Urban Rhythm, Midnight Metro, Skin Deep, Dark Souls, and Wall of Death.

Anarchy also makes 'bespoke' brews for individuals and organisations, such as the North East charity Red Sky Foundation.

The brewery recently launched a special Red Sky 0.5% IPA, with a donation from every can sold going to the Foundation to support its work.

Head brewer James Allan said: "The purchase of the new fermentation tanks really couldn’t come at a better time for us.

"Not only are sales of our regular range growing all the time, but we are receiving an increasing number of requests for special brews, so this increased capacity will make all the difference."

Anarchy Brewery is also a busy event venue in Heaton, hosting regular live music nights and private tours of the brewery.

Its taproom event space is available for private hire and weddings.

Anarchy Brewery tours are for those aged 18 and over, and ID is required for anyone who appears to be under 25.

Wor Beer and other ales in the Anarchy range can be purchased online at anarchybrewco.com or on draught at selected pubs and bars across Tyneside.

Updates on events at the brewery can also be obtained via Instagram and Facebook @anarchybrewco.
