Wherever you are in Cumbria and the Lake District you can enjoy a tipple that was brewed or distilled within striking distance of where you’re sitting. The county’s impressive collection of breweries and microbreweries has produced some of England’s very best ales, winners of multiple awards at both a national and international level. What’s more, we have the ideal setting in which to drink those beers; after all, what’s better than rewarding yourself for a day in the fells by sipping a perfect pint of ale in a traditional country pub while trading stories about the day that was?
And if you want something a little stiffer, there’s a distillery right in the heart of the Lake District that produces whisky, gin and vodka, all made using crystal clear water from the Lake District National Park and flavoured with fruits and berries picked locally.
