Owned by
Halewood Artisanal Spirits
Associated Venue: Beer Hall (Hawkshead)

Established in 2002
At Hawkshead Brewery we make the sort of beer we like to drink - distinctive, full of flavour, handmade, and perfectly crafted. We are small enough to know most of our customers, not to care about the mass market, be able to brew lots of different beers, experiment and innovate. We are big enough to employ a team of five brewers, make around 140 barrels (23,000 litres) of beer a week, deliver direct throughout The North, and our Tap at our Staveley site is open every day.
In about 2017, a controlling interest in the company was taken by Liverpool-based Halewood Wines & Spirits, and this may result in further expansion.

(Bottle) Brownish red colour with brief, tan head. Malty nose with notes of bread, caramel, dried fruit, nuts, orange peel and spices. Malty taste with caramel, bread, dried fruit, nuts, orange peel and a balanced spicy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Smooth and well balanced. Quite nice.

330ml bottle from a shop in Grasmere, England. Pours a crystal clear light gold color with a white head and good retention. Sparse lacing. Very bready aroma. Smooth and clean white bread and malt flavor. Very good flavor for such a light beer. Light body. Medium-light carbonation. Not bitter. Well done.

Cask @ Moon and Starfish, Clacton-on-Sea. Clear dark red with a small white head. Aroma of malts, marzipan and toffee. Taste of caramel, cherries, toffee, red berries, malts, cake and a hint of lemons. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Ok.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a deep ruby with minimal cream head and good lacing. There’s malts and dark fruits in the aroma plus some hoppy hints. In the mouth it is definitely bitter but with a little underlying sharpness. Flavour has traditional hops, malts and ginger with traces of berry fruits and cake coming through later. Finish is quite dry and slightly sweet. This is decent.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A hazy copper coloured pour with a thin translucent head; aroma of hedgerow fruit; sweet malty body with some blackberries and an earthy bitterness.
