Tirril Brewery’s third (and final) move was out away from the heart of the Lake District and across to the Eden Valley, where more space could be found for our 20 Barrel, state of the art brewery.
The brand new, purpose built, stainless steel brew kit was carefully fitted into Red House Barn in Long Marton. A Grade II listed sandstone barn, nestled beneath the Pennines.
Again we named a beer after a Lakeland location and used both Munich Malt and Colour 400 Crystal Malt to give a warm ruby red glow to the beer to help the beer reflect its name. As always the beer is brewed down to a final gravity of 1008, making it depetively (if not dangerously) light for a 4.4% abv beer. Once more a selection of British hops help compliment and lift the red malty ale into a fine strong beer.
