Northumberland Brewery is a small brewery which was located in Bomarsund, near Bedlington in Northumberland, England. It produces cask ale.
The brewery relocated (January 2007) to larger premises at Barrington Road with a larger on site tap (bar) which is now called Fuggles (after the hop)

Over the years, the building has been a school, community centre, factory and even apparently housed prisoners of war during world war 2

Northumberland Brewery opened in 1996 with a selection of five beers, Northumberland Castles (3.8% abv), Northumberland County (4.2%), Northumberland Best (4.2%) and Duke of Northumberland Premium (5.0%). It has since expanded its portfolio of cask ale to that of nearly 60 different recipes.

The names of most of the beer produced at the Northumberland Brewery is named after local people and places, such as Mackem's Shovel Ale and Holy Island Ale, after Sunderland A.F.C. supporters and the island of Holy Island respectively. The brewery also names a few of its beers after political issues, such as Talivan (after speed camera vans - a play on the Taliban), Highway Robbery (once again, after speed cameras) and Hung Parliament, with a pump clip showing members of parliament with nooses around their necks. They have also named beers after the local football team players for both Sunderland AFC and Newcastle United FC
