Description
Fate brought us together at Hawkshead Brewery and in a short time it became clear we shared a passion for great beer and many ideals. After being made redundant at the beginning of lockdown restrictions in March 2020. Matt, Michelle, Steve & Paul reunited as Lakes Brew Co. Bringing together the shared ambition to be one of Cumbria’s progressive, sociably innovative breweries. With a strong ethos of support and collaboration, through the beers we produce and the team we surround ourselves with – engrained in our locality.
Adversity lit a flame within us to create something for ourselves, take control of our own futures and build a brewery that we are happy to be involved in. The end of July 2022 marks the first year of brewing for us. We have been so lucky to be able to carry on doing what we are passionate about, not only brewing but in the area that feeds us inspiration on a daily basis. Creating innovative & progressive craft beers in the Lake District and proud to be an inclusive, independent, woman co-owned business where everyone is welcome.

On a recent beery trip to the Lake District, the only place in Kendal I'd never visited before that was not open on my day out was this brewery's tap - so a good reason to return again! I might have found this there, a hazy golden, very fruity in aroma and taste brew, which has very crisp tasting water. Moreish!

440ml can from a Tesco Express outside Manchester Piccadilly. Pours a yellow hazy gold with small white head. Stone fruits, melon, gooseberry, light sharp fruity tang. Medium bodied. A bit underwhelming but ok.

An IGG is also a natural antibody. Natural tropical fruitiness from its hops here, and it's all very stated in both aroma and taste, with a low citrus bitterness allowing a fair sweetness through, and quite a few sugars in its aftertaste alongside lingering lime.
