The brewery, which shares a site with popular pub The Twice Brewed Inn on one of the most dramatic stretches of Hadrian’s Wall near Bardon Mill, had entered its Juno Pilsner into the European Beer Challenge 2021.
Billed as ‘Europe’s Most Important Beer Competition’, The Twice Brewed’s Juno was one of thousands of beer samples entered into the contest from breweries across 39 countries.
The judges were ‘blown away’ by the taste of the Northumberland-made Bohemian style Pilsner and decided that it was worthy of a Double Gold Medal accolade.

Tributes have been paid to a much loved shepherd who has died recently following a brain tumour. John Little was born on December 21, 1965 and was one of four children to parents Raymond and Helen. After growing up in the Greenhead and Gilsland area, John went on to become a shepherd on a range of local farms where he continued his love for the countryside and wildlife including birds. Later he would continue to work further afield and eventually join the North Tyne Hunt where he would first meet his wife Lynn. After moving to Redesmouth together in 1994, they would go on to marry the following year before another move three years later.
Bardon Mill Bob & Mike Duckett The snow is gone for now and we’ve even enjoyed some hot sunny days already. So while it was good hearing the laughter from children sledging, and impressive to spot one neighbour even trying out skis, it’s going to be a positive relief to see the signs of Spring as they come along. This week the cool white of snowdrops are joined - and will soon be overtaken by - the bright yellows of daffodils, and also of winter aconites which brighten up my walk through Beltingham. We must have thousands of bulbs coming up across the area and thanks are owed to all our neighbours who have made that effort to brighten up our daily views. I’ve even spotted some folk doing litter picks on their daily walks, which is a habit I too should take up.
