About the First & Last Brewery
“FINELY CRAFTED BEERS FROM THE HEART OF NORTHUMBERLAND”
The First & Last Brewery was established in 2016 in Elsdon, Northumberland. In 2022 we relocated a few miles to Bellingham, where we also have our tap room. The First & Last Brewery is an award winning, family-run, microbrewery. We brew small batch cask-conditioned, canned and bottled beer. Our beers are inspired by the wild, untamed landscape and dark skies of Northumberland.
We enjoy brewing well-balanced beers that you want to have another sip of. In addition to our core range of pale & dark beers we use locally sourced & foraged ingredients to brew our seasonal specialty beers which offer a true taste of Northumberland.
NORTHUMBERLAND INSPIRES US. WE’RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO REDUCE OUR IMPACT ON THIS WILD LANDSCAPE AND THE WIDER ENVIRONMENT.
