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.

Cask at GBBF 2010. A golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of lemon and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of sulphur, hops, malt, and diacethyl, leading to a dry suphurish finish.

On tap at the Rake. Opaque black beer, decent tan head. Smooth palate, semi dry. Rich malt with some unsweet dark chocolate. Trace of bubblegum sweetness and a little dentine chewing gum spice. Alright but I prefer more coffee and chocolate from double stouts. 3.0
