Our train to Maryport was cancelled, giving us an unexpected opportunity to break down a bit more time somewhere close to Carlisle railway station. Standard Wetherspoon place, busy in the early afternoon on a Friday. Good selection of mostly local brews.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Derwent - Summer Rose | 4.20 | | A malty, caramelly, amber-coloured beer. Distinctly lacking in hops. |

Busy early evening. Quick & friendly service. 40p per pint discount for CAMRA Card carriers. Exceptional beer selection tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Lakeland Gold | 4.40 | | Mid-gold bitter with long lasting head. Fruit and hops well balanced with long satisfying finish. |
| Bitter End - Lakeland IPA | 5.50 | | Coming to the end of the cask flavour dominated by toffee malts. Sweet, cloying with no hops to balance it. |
