2018: After 10 years of trading the time was now to step it up a gear. Local business woman Kirsty Ridge purchased the invested £50,000 in new equipment allowing us to increase brewing capacity and introduce new beers.
2020: After 12 years of Stringers we decided we needed a new name and look, and so we decided to rebrand. To celebrate our Cumbrian heritage we renamed to Lakeland Brewhouse.
At Lakeland Brewhouse, brewing beer is not just a job – it is a passion. Decades of experience are poured into every pint we create at our 100% renewably-powered brewhouse in the south Lakeland town of Ulverston.

Bottle from Booths, Media City. Caramel coloured with a thin head. Strong, but this creates more of a full bodied taste than any notable alcohol strength. Hopped with a zesty and zingy hopped citrus bitterness. Its nose contains some grain and it has a lingering grainy feel on the back of the palate.
