About Vaux

Like a Phoenix from the flames, the historic Vaux Brewery in Sunderland has risen from the ashes in it's new incarnation as a small batch craft brewery.

It’s not every day someone goes on a trip to Germany and gets so inspired by a community brewery that the minute he steps off the plane back home he decides to set up his own, based on a famous Sunderland brewery name.

Whilst it’s taken seven years to get here, Steven Smith Michael Thompson, who both live in the city, have been able to successfully rescue the Vaux name and bring back the brewing of Vaux beer to Sunderland and the wider North East.
