Keswick Brewery celebrates 20 glorious years at a special brewery social between 12-8pm on Saturday 25th April at their Fox Tap Bar and outside drinking area.

Two new real ales are being launched at this event : A Double India Pale Ale (7.6%) and a Pale Ale (3.8%) Names to be revealed on the day.

Authentic Nepalese curries will be available and Graham Bell is performing live music between 4-6pm.

The West Cumbria branch of CAMRA wishes to say congratulations and a big thank you to owner Sue Jefferson and her amazing team at the brewery.

Owner Sue Jefferson writes :

'There is lots to celebrate ! Our first brew was in 2006 on the site of the Old Keswick Brewing Company, which brewed on this site over 130 years ago. The Keswick Brewery has won many awards in the last two decades, including National Gold beer awards.

We continue to reinvent ourselves, with regular new recipe beers, a recent new lager plus a gluten free range of beers.

The brewery was extended in 2019 to make provision for the Fox Tap bar and beer garden area. And there are regular brewery social events.

2026 seemed a perfect time to launch some new brews, including Goldscope and Mary's Mash. Goldscope is a 4.1% real ale using 3 different NZ hops and is named after a long gone local copper and lead mine.

Mary's Mash has a personal connection as I wanted to brew a Stout beer in memory of my late Grandma.

There are two special beers being launched on our 20th birthday, one of which is called Big Sue, named by my staff. This full bodied double IPA is packed with NZ Southern Cross, Pacific Gem and Riwaka hops, alongside another ale called Little Sue at 3.8%.

So Saturday 25th April is party day at the brewery. Along with the beer there will be live music by Graham Bell and authentic Nepalese street food by Katvandu.

No admission charge !

Hope to see you there.

Cheers !

Sue’
