Description
We've spent more years than we care to remember drinking real ale of all styles and flavours. This culminated in us buying our own pub, The Spinners Arms in Cummersdale, Carlisle in 2007 - where we naturally continued our research!
In 2013, we took it a step further and set up a 2.5 barrel microbrewery on site. We outgrew this quite quickly and moved to our current premises, opening a bigger plant in October 2015. We still have The Spinners Arms, it's now our brewery tap with a good range of our beer on the bar at all times!

On cask at the Brackenrigg in Watermillock. The tap was talking about this being an English pale but the bitterness is very low so I felt mild was the correct style. Golden and hazy with a nice head. Floral and light custard nose. More custard and cornflour white sauce on the taste. Light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a delicate finish. Solid enough.
