A little about us…
We at Dionysiac Brewing have immense respect for quality beer and history. So we decided to start our brewery. Focusing on historical beer styles we have created a core range that champions not only the best British ingredients but also the rich and fascinating heritage of Darlington and the North East.
Dionysus, the raving god whose presence makes man mad. The god of the most blessed ecstasy and the most enraptured love.
Family-run and fiercely independent. We only use ‘all grain’ malt and ‘whole leaf’ hops in all our beers. 100% Reverse Osmosis Filtered Water which we then ‘burtonize’ with brewing salts to mimic the historical water profile brewers in the region would have had available. Making for a deliciously soft malty mild, or an effervescent and hoppy IPA. We only ever use liquid yeast in our brews (which are never pasteurized) to ensure a quality historic taste.
All our beers feature fantastic artwork by local artists that showcase the varied history of Darlington and beyond. We endeavor to recycle as much as possible. Using ‘waste water’ not suitable for brewing but created in the process for cleaning and sanitation. Recycling spent grain where possible for composting or animal feed. Re-purposing pallets from deliveries into wooden carry cases, other merchandise or decorations for local markets that we attend.
