One woman's ale journey

A beery boozy journey with delightful snacks along the way and a book in my hand.

Mordue Radgie Gadgie


A deep golden and strong tasting outstanding ale - just look how perfect it is!  Another proper northern bitter with good body, a hoppy flavour and malty aftertaste.  It's very pleasant and exceedingly good - indeed, it's a Mr Kipling of beers!

After spending half of my holidays working and feeling like a bit of a radgie lass it was rather fitting that I had a Radgie Gadgie!  It tastes of sunshine and beer gardens - yes, we do sometimes see the sun Up North!

Interesting fact: Radgie Gadgie means angry old man in Geordie

Brewed by Mordue Brewery, Tyne & Wear
4.8% ABV

Mordue Workie Ticket


I do like a local brew!  This is a lovely dark amber colour and you just know this is going to have your tongue doing the tango.

As you'd expect from the dark colour and the creamy head, this has a strong hoppy flavour.  Although it has a strong bitter flavour, this doesn't leave any hint of nasty aftertaste in the mouth.

The head lasts right to the last drop, good old Nothern ale!  Well named Workie Ticket, this makes me think of men coming out of the pit and rewarding themselves with a hard earned pint in a working men's club.

Workie Ticket - not just for working men!

Interesting fact: Workie Ticket is Geordie for someone pushing their luck, causing trouble and being a bit mischievous.
