After a ridiculously busy month at the Masons, I had been especially looking forward to our second event at The Kirkstile Inn at Loweswater. The pub is home to the original Loweswater brewery, now known ad Cumbria Legendary Ales after it’s takeover of the south Cumbrian brewery in 2008.
The pub itself is nestled perfectly at the foot of Melbreak hill in-between Loweswater lake and Crummock Water, a truly idyllic setting. When owner Roger Humphries decided he’d like to run a beer dinner with us, we jumped at the chance.
I’m not sure how much I can add to the sterling work already done by my colleague Dave Bailey, here, suffice to say that it was a phenomenal night. We worked hard to pair up the courses, and I think we did really well. Given the magic of hindsight, I think we all agree that we may have changed one or two details, but only in the pursuit of perfection.
We are now in planning for our next event, as part of the Craft Beer Festival at the Masons Arms from the 16th to the 19th June. Watch this space for more details!
