Owned by
Halewood Artisanal Spirits
Associated Venue: Beer Hall (Hawkshead)
- Out of business
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.

Opaque black brown beer, a few tan bubbles don't form anything like a head. Smooth palate, modest fine carbonation. Rich dark malts, not that heavy but redolent with dark chocolate and that somewhat odd Tonka vanilla chocolate vibe. Smooth finish shows a little spice. Very much a Tonka beer but as much as I am wary of this element, this isn't awful.
