Steam Machine Brewing Company

A great afternoon/evening spent at the Steam Machine Brewing Co. Plenty of beer choice and the Habibi Shawarma food truck out front. Nice to see lots of lovely dogs too.

Steam Machine Brewing Company is a fantastic micro brewery in Newton Aycliffe Industrial estate. A hidden gem of fantastic beer and friendly faces; they push boundaries of what beer can be - often experimenting with historic styles and modern IPAs. The tap room is cozy, with a fantastic industrial feel. Perfect for a few quiet beers on a weekend. (Or if there's an event on, a wild night). Cheers!

First time in The Steam Machine Brewing Co tonight, and it was brilliant. We got an invite from a mate and he showed us around and educated us on how things work. Not sure on a beer, have a sample. It’s truly refreshing change to a pub. I’m not really a drinker, so I went for the Strawberry cider. My Mrs tried a few different beers and and eventually chose some she’d have through the night. We sat down and decided on what to eat. The staff were all great, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful.This is a full on working brewery, everything is real. It was genuinely interesting looking about. The place was cosy warm and had a fantastic atmosphere. Well done to the owners and staff. The food and drink were really decent quality. A decent amount and very tasty. We will definitely be returning. My only problem with my review would be I really want to keep this place a little gem. A little mention to Jay Murray. He was ace tonight. The second time we’ve seen him. I can assure him that it wasn’t my last date. Been happily married for 24 years.🤭😂 Edit. Returned and enjoyed a Sunday dinner. This place is just soooo good.

Amazing place! Large venue with multiple room within its own brewery. Friendliest staff I've ever come across, very helpful. We arrive just before 9pm and they kept the kitchen open for us. Burgers were amazing! Multiple beers and types on tap all brewed on site. Beer quality was amazing (not necessarily to my taste, but amazing quality) I live 15 miles away, and this place might just become one of my locals!, just need a few session IPSs (<4%) with citra and/or mosaic hops. This is the kind of business that deserves to succeed, great quality and great customer service. Update.....they are now brewing session IPAs (<4.5%). At least 2 on tap today. For food, today (wednesday) was pizza day, but unfortunatly only for prebookings. They were however able to serve cheesy chips.

Sampled a few pints here for the first time and was very impressed with the selection available. Everything is so easily drinkable so be warned because those alcohol percentages are no joke lol. Looking forward to a future visit. Staff are very friendly and helpful and if your unsure they will pour you samples to try before buying.

Have visited multiple times and quite often enjoy the £10 beer (pint) and a burger on a Wednesday evening. Staff are always very friendly and food is nice too.

Excellent tap room in this County Durham brewery. 2 rooms which include the brewery and a yurt and then the cosy bar room. Food available as well which is priced reasonably. Well worth seeking out if you are in the area.

Upon arrival we second guessed if we had the right place due to the enterance looking like a back enterance for staff. Dont be fooled by the ennterance. We went inside out of the rain and we instantly fell in love with the quirky place. The staff were amazing. Very knowledgable and helpful. Sample tasters were available. My husband loved the variety of beers on offer. Im not a beer drinker but that was fine because gin, vodka and wine were available. We had burgers, ribs, loaded fries and they were absolutely delicious. Hats off to the chef. We will definitely be returning to the warm friendly environment of the steam machine.
