The Isis

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Hardly any students at all in Sunderland compared to cities likely to have a Brew Dog pub.
Total Students 19K including those in London and Hong Kong, the two in Newcastle total 61K. Durham had just under 19K students last year

The isis can't hold 19k people so Brewdog could still do OK there.

Ben Wall.

Brewdog would never open in Sunderland, not enough Students or beardy fuckers

The brew dog in Birmingham doesn’t really get students in...plenty of beardy fuckers mind you.

Would make sense in one way, independent is largely aimed at students and the isis is right next to the campus. And the building owned by the uni.

Why? Other than the name and the fact that they are Sunderland lads. They have no experience of running pubs and are very new to the brewing game.

Exactly that. Local brewery having their own pub

Fairly sure they are planning one on Sea Road.

That's going to be a Maxim Brewery Tap I think.

Or a meringue?

That would make more sense. The person telling me said it was Vaux but also mentioned Double Maxim which confused me.
At least Maxim are established, Vaux are very new so it would be a case of running before they could walk.
