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!

4.7 cask at the Woodrow Wilson. Pours clear nut-brown with a tight beige head. Aromas of milk chocolate, hazelnuts. Taste is sweet, more chocolate notes, light stone fruit. Sweet, but clean finish. A good mild, and I do like a good mild!

Cask @ Microbar, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. Well-balanced session ale with a light, easy-drinking texture. Not high on any particular flavours but feels good in the palate.
