About
''We were making beer in the kitchen of our flat in Liverpool,” says Jon Kyme (our lead brewer) “It got out of hand.” and so Stringers was born. In 2008 Jon (a Barrow lad) dragged his biochemist wife back to the Cumbrian town of Ulverston to set up their brewery.

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.

Stringers Victoria IPA from Lakeland Brewhouse

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Aroma: Lots of caramel on the nose. Pine and grapefruit.

Appearance: Clear, bright amber body with a generous beige head that slowly fades to nothing. Medium carbonation. Slight lacing.

Taste: Caramel, biscuit and woody flavours dominate. The tropical fruit notes are in there somewhere, but they’re quite subdued. Finishes with a gentle bitterness.

Palate: Medium body with a soft, oily texture. Light carbonation.

Overall: Not as fruity or tropical as I was anticipating from the description on the bottle, but this is still very tasty. Looking forward to trying more Stringers beers.

Chorlton Beer Festival 2012. Well hopped in a good way including its aroma, with a sharp bitterness to its aftertaste.

Pigs Ear. Hazy gold beer. Dry palate. A bit sulphurous. Nice fruity hops but the sulphur wrecks this beer.

Stringers No.2 Stout from Lakeland Brewhouse
14 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 4 Overall 6.5
Cask @ Castle Tavern, Inverness
Black, thin tan bubbly head, some lacing
Aroma of deep roasted malts...dark caramel...molasses
Taste of dark roasted malts, some smoke, background of bitter hops, some trecle, lots of burnt notes, lots of flavour mainly burnt roast
Palate - soft carb, thin to medium body, quite viscous. Finish - burnt bitter crust, perhaps bit over burnt for my liking
Overall - lots of flavour for this 4% stout but relies a bit too much on burnt roast

Very hazy amber beer with a thin white head. Dry semi crisp palate. Dry sweet toffeeish malt. A little spice and a whisper of bubblegum. Alcohol evaporating dryness in the finish. Too dry and a little too one dimensional.
