Location

Finding a suitable location for the microbrewery was a little more difficult, but proved well worth the effort and patience. At the end of 2005, after many weeks of searching for an appropriate building in every nook and cranny around where they lived, David and Liz discovered a group of traditional barns at Esthwaite Old Hall on the Graythwaite Estate near Hawkshead in the Cumbrian Lake District.

They knew immediately that they had found a home for their brewery. In May 2006, following a complete renovation programme, Old Hall Brewery became a reality and moved into one of these traditionally restored barns, situated in a truly magical position on the shores of Esthwaite Water amidst breathtaking scenery.
