Full Circle Brew Co, the Newcastle-based independent brewery, is opening its first-ever pub next month.
The brewery is opening the pub in Fenwick in Newcastle, which marks its first permanent venue away from its brewery and taproom at Hoults Yard in Ouseburn.
The pub will feature 12 taps and two cask lines, serving Full Circle’s own beers alongside a rotating selection from independent breweries from across the UK.
Regular guest beers, collaborations and tap takeovers are also planned, with Full Circle aiming to create a city centre showcase for independent brewing rather than a venue focused solely on its own range.
Food will also form a major part of the offering, with Full Circle teaming up with well-known Newcastle street food vendor Peckin’ Order to serve its fried chicken and smash burgers from the new pub.
The pub will be located on the first floor of the store in the space previously occupied by the Golden Flake Tavern – the 2025 collaboration between Fenwick and fellow North East founded brand Greggs.
Ben Cleary, founder of Full Circle Brew Co, said: “Opening our first pub is a huge moment for us and we couldn’t think of a better place to do it than in the heart of Newcastle.
:We’ve always wanted Full Circle to be about more than just brewing our own beer. We love great pubs and everything that comes with them, and having Peckin’ Order serving their food alongside the beers is a massive part of what we want the venue to be.
“There’ll be plenty of Full Circle on the bar, but we also want to use the space to champion other brilliant independent breweries. With guest beers, collaborations and tap takeovers planned, there should always be something different for people to try.”
Kieran McBride, store director at Fenwick Newcastle, added: “We’re delighted to welcome Full Circle Brew Co to Fenwick Newcastle and to continue our support of the city’s thriving independent food and drink scene.
“Full Circle is a fantastic local business with a strong community spirit, and we’re excited to see them bring their first city-centre pub to life at Fenwick Newcastle. We look forward to welcoming both our customers and community to the new venue this October.”
