Red House, Long Marton, Appleby-in-Westmorland, CA16 6BN, England
Description
Based in Long Marton, near Appleby, Tirril Brewery offers fine traditional ales, refreshingly crisp pilsners & a range of spirits. The first brew was delayed for a month, by the arrival of our daughter India. It turned out by chance that the current Tirril Brewery opened exactly 100 years after Siddle’s the last brewery in Tirril had closed….

Named after the River Eden valley - the river is the 3rd longest in England amongst those flowing entirely within one county. Golden with a head. Mildly hoppy English style pale ale. Light, very easy and pleasant in the palate. Hints of floral, although the floral heavy beer garden itself where it was drank may have played its part in that feature!
