Castle Eden Brewery has been an important part of the Seaham business community since relocating to Spectrum Business Park in 2014. I am pleased to see its next chapter begin with its recent acquisition by Powder Monkey Brewing Co.

CEO Andy Burdon has committed to protecting local jobs and expanding brewing operations here in the North East. This is great news for our local economy and craft beer lovers alike.

It was also a pleasure to attend last night’s relaunch and meet British racing driver Nicolas Hamilton, proudly sponsored by Powder Monkey Brewing Co.
