Our Beers

Many years ago, we set out with the ambition to make a top-quality craft beer that we can be proud of. Looking back, we have done just that and so much more and I couldn’t be more proud of our team and everything we have achieved. - Mike, Head brewer

Hand-crafted in the Lake District

This headline is actually something we proudly print on every label of our beers. The Lake District is not only our home, it is the very essence of what we create. Our beautiful surroundings inspire us every day to produce our exceptional hand-crafted beers. Brewed with care, attention to detail and respect for the ingredients we always aim for the perfect pint.

Our beers are produced in casks and kegs for all the fantastic pubs, restaurants and bars selling our products. And our bottled range is perfect for shops and retailers as well as everyone who wants to buy from us directly.

World beer awards

We know our customers love our beers because they tell us and frankly that really is the greatest honour for our brewing team. Winning World Beer Awards is also important though because it’s among the best-regarded prizes for our industry globally. Only the very best in all the internationally recognised styles are selected to receive a medal.

That’s why we very proudly accepted a bronze medal for our low alcohol Swan Free for the second consecutive year, while our Helles Lager was awarded no less than a coveted silver medal.

Steamer IPA achieved a bronze medal at the World Beer Awards, following on from two gold awards at the Society of Independent Brewers Awards (North) in 2018.

Even if it is the taking part that counts, having our hard work and passion for crafting amazing beer recognised is a reason to celebrate.
