Origin of Twice Brewed

Named for the Twice Brewed Inn, an old pub in the village. Several folk-tales attempt to explain the name, most referring to the increased strength of beer following rebrewing: Yorkist foot-soldiers demanding stronger beer on the eve of the Battle of Hexham in 1464; General Wade demanding that beer be rebrewed after being disappointed at the strength, during the construction of the Military Road (which runs through the village) in the 1750s; or simply a local reputation for strong beer. Another theory is that it was named for lying between two brews (“overhanging hill or cliff”), possibly as a pun.
