Description
Based in the heart of the English Lake District, brewers of bold, innovative beers since 2002, our beer range is eclectic and includes thirst quenching session beers, big hopped pale ales, deep dark stouts and sours. With a range of core beers, available in Cask, Keg, Bottle and Can.

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.

Cask at CBC - Clerkenwell, London. Pours clear, dark brown with a fine, tan cream head. Soft roasted coffee nose, some dry cocoa, mild lactic tang. Light sweet flavour with restrained roasted malts, dusty cocoa, a bit of tobacco ash, some earthy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Bit of dry roast malts to finish, light bitter earth, subtle cocoa. Nice stout, though the character could be a touch more robust.
