Description
''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 Market Porter, London. Pous dark brown with a medium, beige head. Holds a dark, hard malt nose, with light cocoa and roast. Bittersweet flavor, a bit ashy, with some char and bitter, dark chocolate. Light to medium in body with fine carbonation. The finish is very dry and roasty, with mild, malty sugars and lingering peat and earth impressions. Solid stout.

Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, grass and fresh hops in the finish. Rather light body with a balanced sweetness and generous, citric bitterness. Nice and refreshing.
