Hawkshead Brewery & The Beer Hall

My partner and I came up to the brewery a few days ago (even with the country being battered by snow at the time) and we just loved it! We had the brewery tour at 1pm (which costs around £8 a ticket) and it was very informative and was great to see that everything is pretty much hands on. Watched a short video about the history and heritage of the brewery and then went through the various stages of the brewing process. Once the tour had finished we both then were able to redeem our beer tokens which entitles you to one pint of anything you’d like or two halves. Since my partner was the designated driver I took full advantage and had 4 halves of different beers (see pictures) Whilst trying the beers we tried the tapas style food on offer which was fantastic! Our favourite was the spicy sausage and sweetcorn fritters. Absolutely delicious! After we’d finished up I couldn’t go home empty handed so bought a hawkshead beer gift pack and a tulip glass. Definitely will be returning when I’m back down that neck of the woods again! Top notch brewery and all the staff are attentive and friendly.

Have visited here a few times now and have always been impressed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff, clean environment and quirkiness of the place. As well as showcasing many of the ales and lagers brewed on site the food offering here is recommended; from extremely generous "tapas" offerings at £3.50 to more substantial dishes the quality is good. The place seems popular with tourists and locals alike and is always buzzing. Clientele varies from walkers to family groups or, in our case, travellers taking a welcome respite on our journey to the Lakes. It's worth checking out the website for opening hours (late night Saturday and Sunday only) and other details such as the daily brewery tour at 1pm. There is also a wide selection of memorabilia for purchase as well as beers to take home. Wether you happen to be passing or looking for a lunch destination you shouldn't be disappointed.

Great service. Excellent layout. Great vibe. And the yorkshire pudding filled with beef and freshly made horseradish sauce was beautiful. Perfect pint, lovely food and great value at less than 3 quid a pint and fresh good cooked food for about a fiver made the perfect lunchtime escape from the rain.

Only visited for a few take away beers but the staff were helpful. Good selection of beers available & will definitely be making another visit! 🍺🍺🍺

Wonderful place, excellent staff and lovely British tapas style dishes. Probably the best place to try as many of the beers as you dare and have a nibble to carb up midway. Open mic night on Sunday was brilliant and the bill was shockingly small. Who knew you could buy that much beer for £30?! Amazing place 10/10 must visit! Also good for families in the day. Dogs welcome downstairs.
