I recently visited High House Farm Brewery, a micro-brewery within a working farm in Matfen. The brewery is where all sixteen of their beers are brewed, made from the finest English ingredients. Their excellent beers have won several awards, including CAMRA Regional Awards, SIBA Regional and National Awards and a Bronze award in the Taste of North East England. I really enjoyed meeting owner Heather and hearing all about the brewery and business, which will soon be expanding into the disused waiting rooms at Hexham Railway Station. High House Farm does tours of the brewery which I would certainly recommend if you would like to find out more about this great local brewery. It is also a fantastic wedding venue and a great place to stop for some food- yet another example of a great local business employing local people.
