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.

330ml bottle @ monthly share, Chez Sophie, May 23. Thanks Simon for this one. Pours a misty amber, large off-white head. Initial sip is a tad confusing as doesn't bring forth much barley wine notes, with a seemingly hoppy American citrussy TIPA influence.. modest caramel and toasted malt notes, not much vanilla pod notes.. quite nice whatever it is.

Cask at the Waterloo Tap, 10/05/23. Mahogany brown with a good sized lasting beige head, good full glass lacing ensues. Nose is mellow smoke, oak, dried fruit rinds, toffee. Taste comprises mellow smoked malts, biscuit, grains, brown bread, biscuit, hedgerow. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. First Hawkshead beer I've had in a long time ... passable affair ... condition seemed okay just seemed rather lacklustre and thin.
