If you go down to Sycamore Gap this weekend, listen closely and you might just here the sound of kegs and cans being cracked open in celebration.
That's because the Twice Brewed Brewing Company and the Twice Brewed Inn, near Bardon Mill just off Hadrian's Wall, have had an exciting couple of weeks. Both parts of the site were recognised in their respective industries, with the Twice Brewed Brewing Company taking a double gold at the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) national awards.
Following the ceremony at the two-day BeerX UK event in Liverpool held on March 16 and 17, the limelight was then cast onto the Twice Brewed Inn, which stands on the same site. On Thursday, it was highly commended in the Pub of the Year category at the North East Tourism Awards.
