Embark on a delightful beer tasting experience at St Dominic’s craft brewery, where you'll explore a range of modern brews steeped in traditional methods. Each beer boasts a unique character, inspired by the heritage of the Dominican Friars who once brewed ales on-site in the 13th-century friary, carrying on a legacy of hospitality.
Tasting experience format and content will vary by the event you choose to book, which varies by date:
Bangers and Beer Tasting
Join us to explore a guided tasting of beers from our core range – modern brews inspired by traditional methods, each with its own distinctive character. To accompany the beers, our chefs will serve a smoked hot dog in a soft brioche bun, topped with crispy onions and mustard mayonnaise, alongside golden fries — a feast worthy of the friary’s long brewing history.
Beer and Bait
Our beer expert will pair a selection of local craft beers with some matching bar snacks. You’ll start the tasting off with a visit to our own Micro Brewery before heading to the beer tasting where the fun and informative tasting of ‘beer and bait’ will continue.
Beer and Cheese Tasting
Join us for a unique beer and cheese tasting. Start the evening with an arrival schooner of Blackfriars’ Lager followed by a tasting of top-drawer cheeses paired with a variety of local craft beers. Our in-house expert will take you through each of the beer and cheese combinations, explaining how and why they pair so well.
Whichever experience you choose, you'll get to delve into the world of beer tasting, gaining insights into the art of crafting brews and pairing them with delicious accompaniments!

Blackfriars is set within a 13th-century former Dominican friary. Established in 1239 it remains the jewel of Newcastle’s medieval past and has a fascinating history. Over the years Blackfriars has expanded from the friar’s refectory dining room to almost all the remaining claustral out-buildings and today boasts a Banquet Hall, Parlour Bar, Cookery School and Tasting Room as well as a number of function/meeting rooms.
