Description
We are Crooked River Brewing Co; a craft beer company based on the fringe of the Lake District in West Cumbria.
Our story began in 2022 when our town’s last active brewery; Jennings announced it’s closure. This loss represented over 150 years of deep historical significance and posed a threat to the integrity of our regions brewing heritage and cultural identity.
This motivated us to step up and do something to keep that heritage alive, and so, Crooked River Brewing Co was born.
Our beer is brewed at Tractor Shed Brewing in Workington thanks to the lovely team there who gave us a place to brew, sharing our vision to see greater diversity and reputation for great locally made beer.

Can from BeerGB. Appearance - hazy orange and a foamy white head. Nose - cake, caramel and light resinous pine. Taste - resin, caramel, dried orange and burnt bread. Palate - medium bodied, creamy middle dry, almost astringent finish. Overall - this one is right on style, I'd like a bit more fruitiness.

Can from BeerGB. Appearance - pale yellow and a very slight haze. Big creamy white head. Nose - orange, melon and tinned peach. Taste - more fruit cocktail notes. Tinned peach, fresh, sweet apple and orange. Palate - light bodied, but very creamy for a pilsner, the finish being a gentle taper. Overall - good, even if it doesn't seem quite on style.
