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!

Bottle from Local in Carlisle. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - light apple and citrus. Taste - light biscuit and more citrus. But a bit of honey at the end. This makes it less refreshing. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - solid but not worth a second.
