Lakes Brew Co is to open new taproom in the heart of the Lake District. Coming to Ambleside in early 2025, their hope is to create a vibrant, inclusive, family friendly social space for locals and visitors, which blends the modern and traditional parts of the area.

Offering and showcasing a wide range of their own award winning craft beers all brewed and packaged at the brewery within 14 miles of the premise, alongside other new and exciting drinks, creating a comprehensive offer to suit all tastes.

“We are constantly being asked when are you going to open a permanent tap room, and that time is now. A flagship venue, in the heart of the Lakes.”

For the last 2 years, they have successfully ran a pop up tap space once a month, in the brewery on the Mintsfeet industrial estate in Kendal, these will still go ahead.

The pop up weekends have engaged locally, and has grown with every passing month. The team don’t want to give up the personal interaction with the loyal following who have supported them from the very beginning.

The Lakes Brew Co team have invited Toast of Windermere to join them as their onsite food vendor, in this exciting new venture. Toast look to expand on their current site in Windermere and take their street toast to the next level, using locally sourced produce to create new and exciting food offerings not currently readily available in the Lakes, with the plan for interesting weekend menu changes to keep the offer fresh, modern and exciting.

Michelle Gay, Co-founder – “The hope is to create a space where everyone can go, feel relaxed, drink some great beer and eat some amazing food, by two modern, local independent businesses. The space and offer will be something completely different to what you can currently get in Ambleside at the moment.”
