Hops & Dots Birthday Party day has arrived! The brewery has never celebrated turning another year older before, so for 2022 they’ve decided to team up with their friends at Durham Sausage Company to mark the occasion properly.
The bar and restaurant is a huge space to welcome beer fans and food lovers alike. Opened in Durham City at the start of 2022, they’ve shown great support with their beer range, stocking North East breweries to showcase to locals and tourists to complement the gourmet handcrafted sausages, hotdogs and burgers.
As well as launching some brand new beers, the tap list showcases the collaborative nature of the Bishop Auckland-based brewery, featuring many local and further afield collabs (plus a sausage collab. with Dimmer Switch stout).
The Tap List
• Fat Fingers [5.1%] Wheat Beer
• Do You Want To Buy A Speedboat? [3.9%] West Coast Pale Ale
• Half Time Oranges [7%] Orange IPA – collab. with Crafty Merlin’s Bottle Shop + Caps Off Brewery
• If You’ve Apricot it Flaunt It [5%] – collab. with Vaux
• Tonka Switch [6%] Export Stout – collab. with Cold Bath Brewing Co.
