3 Benson View Works, Shap Road Industrial Estate, Kendal, LA9 6NZ, England
Description
The brewery started life in a 30 litre stock pot on a South London stove top, and since then we’ve been testing, learning, failing and, sometimes, winning in the relentless pursuit of creating quality beer. Now in 2021, we’ve made good on our name and gan yam’d back to Cumbria to set up our first brewhouse. Come and find us on the edge of our hometown, under the gentle gaze of Benson Knott.

Hand pulled half pint at the Last Drop Inn, York; 20th May 2026, day two of a three day pub crawl. This was fine, clean golden body, off white crust on top. Refreshing and thirst quenching with a light citrus leaning.

Cloudy amber gold with a frothy white head and a soft sweet citrus aroma. A touch chewy, mellow pink grapefruit, some dank hops and a dry mellow bitter finish.
