The first day of their summer beer festival, about 1pm and plenty of room to sit and enjoy the beers. I received an email from Mr Pirrip challenging me to list all seventy four beers on this site, so I will but I did a recount eliminating the craft keg beers and that reduced the number of cask ales to a mere fifty four.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Chop Brewing Arm - Good Measure | 3.90 | | My first thought was that Good Measure was a bad name for what was no more than 95% of a pint. Bubbles clinging to the glass and a very tight head I thought I was not going to enjoy this, but it was very good indeed. A pale amber beer with Mosaic hops. |
| RedWillow - Endless | 3.80 | | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | Pale gold in colour, a nice sharp bitterness. |
| First Chop Brewing Arm - TOC | 4.20 | | |
| Hand Drawn Monkey - Untraditional Tradition | 3.30 | | A dark mild ale with the addition of cardamom and black lime. Described as "refreshing, light and full of moreish majesty" I found the addition of spices etc. not to my taste, however another member of our group loved it. |

Day one of their summer beer festival.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Imperial Stout | 8.30 | | The tasting notes just describe this as a robust Imperial Stout. It was fantastic, the full flavour reminiscent of Courage Imperial Russian Stout. The beer of the day for me. |
| Hawkshead - NZPA | 6.00 | | |
| Magic Rock - Curious | 3.90 | | Full of American hops, and citrus. Moreish. |
| Buxton - Dark Nights | 4.60 | | Described as an American style porter. Deep chestnut brown with superb bitterness from the American hop varieties. |

What a great place! Top flight beer is a given. But there's also a genuine friendly atmosphere, interesting live music and tasty taps snacks. Dog friendly too. Full range of Hawkshead beers were available on tap.
A 'must visit' if in the area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hawkshead - Windermere Pale (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | | At 3.5% this makes a real statement about the craft of a top class brewer. Malt and hops in perfect balance with a long dry finish leading you inevitably to the next pint. |
| Hawkshead - Dry Stone Stout | 4.50 | | Unheard of to find 2 5* beers in one pub in one evening but here it was. Black in the glass with a long lasting deep beige head it looked great. An initial burst of hops was balanced by dark, roasty malts and a very solid body. Unremittingly dry in the finish this was top class brewing. |
| Hawkshead - NZPA | 6.00 | | At 6% this was a subtle rather than 'in your face' pale ale. Inviting burnt orange with tight off white head the flavours were both rounded nad restrained. Long sweetish finish. |

Beer Festival. Two large bars and an outdoor drinking area, there were 71 beers on the list of which I think over 60 were available at the time of my visit. Good service from keen and enthusiastic staff.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | |
| Redemption - Trinity | 3.00 | | A really good tasty ale, and only 3.0%. Excellent and possibly worthy of five stars. |
| Magic Rock - Curious | 3.90 | | Pale citrusy session ale with American hops, and selling very well here today. |
| Windsor & Eton - Knight of the Garter | 3.80 | | |
| Hawkshead - NZPA | 6.00 | | This was served in the outside area in a plastic cup which did it no favours at all. It appeared to be golden in colour but it was difficult to tell. The flavour of the New Zealand hops started to come through towards the end of the cup. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - Summer's Day | 4.30 | Not Tried |

Friendly welcome. Lots of locals enjoying the full range of Hawkshead beers. Shame it was 6pm closing!

The pub is found in Staveley, Cumbria, LA8 9LR.
The Beer Hall is attached to Hawkshead Brewery which can be seen through glass. It is part brewery tap, part visitor centre and shop and food can be be brought in or ordered from the cafes on site. Usually carries the full range of Hawkshead beers including seasonals and offers lots of comfortable seating including sofas. Seems to have been swiftly closed with little warning in September 2024 after closure of the brewery at this site.
We have visited this pub 16 times, seen 189 different beers and tried 24 of them.
