Branch brews at beer festivals

Well we did it!



Whitehaven Branch and Whitehaven Rugby players, at the Loweswater brewery at the Kirkstile Inn, Loweswater.


4.2% but we still haven't got a name for it!

We got the local ITV News crew, local BBC Radio Cumbria and Press photographer, Cumbrian Newspapers.



A brilliant Day and we hope all the publicity gets us people into the festival - more than last year, anyway!!



Preliminary beer list now up at

I always enjoyed brewing at breweries, glad you did too, gets branches more involved with the real business.

If the rugby team was involved, how about Brew XV ... or would that be too close to the M&B trade mark?

Ha ha! But it would have to be Brew XIII

At this and last year's Bromsgrove festival held at the local rugby club, Cannon Royall and Weatheroak breweries got together to produce a festival special with a rugby theme... Drop Goal last year and Drop Kick this year.

Then if you added a special bitter you could call it Wedding Tackle.
