Tap Takeover

We don’t often have tap takeovers; we’ve only had two in four years, with Campervan and Otherworld.

We’re big fans of both breweries. Well, Otherworld will be returning on Thursday 09/07/26 for a second tap takeover.

This time, we’ll have more lines and the Otherworld team will be there to talk about their wonderful beers.

Bus trip, Saturday 20/06/26

This year’s bus trip, to Halifax on Saturday 20/06/26 is another sellout. For anyone going, the bus leaves the Railway Quarter at 9:00.

The bar will be open as usual and we’ve a bit of magic in and outside the bar from four.

Wine

From opening, we’ve sold wine. We did expand from red, white or pink (to red, white, white or pink) a while back though.

They’re pretty good wines too.

Since we get through a lot of wine, we’ve added a few more.

The house wine’s still available too. Because we like them.

Guest wines will change over time.

I heard you on the wireless

We’re on the radio! Well, we will be soon. If you listen to Mat Chorley on BBC Radio 5 Live, Wednesday 01/04/26, 2-4, you might hear us mentioned*.

The programme’s being recorded in the ‘bus**.

* or you might not

** hopefully, you won’t hear the dog on the radio

Birthday weekend

We’ve a big day this Saturday, with live music from four.

Remember, though, we’re just a little bar, not a music venue.

We’ll have reduced seating for around 27, and some standing room, because we need space for the guys playing.

Of course, for anyone just wanting a drink, we’ve outdoors space if there’s no room in the bar.

Four

It’s hard to believe that four years have passed since the ‘bus opened.

Well, Gateshead, we’re celebrating with our biggest and best ever day of live music.

Saturday from four; rough timings:
16:00 Howlin Matt
17:30 Bad Bob Bates
19:00 Mick Cantwell and Michael Littlefield

There might even be a bit of a collaboration to end the day.

Oh, and it wouldn’t be a birthday without a new birthday cask beer.

Peer Assessment release

Peer Assessment, a wonderful collaboration from Stu Brew and Thirsty Moose, will have its first pour in the ‘bus on Wednesday 25/02/26.

Meet the Stu Brew and Thirsty Moose teams in the bar from seven.

We’re big fans of both breweries, so can’t wait for this!
