Hesket Newmarket Brewery

Hidden away in a fellside village in the northern Lake District lies the Hesket Newmarket Brewery, producing one of the widest ranges of distinctive and full flavoured real ales in the country.

Hesket Newmarket Brewery Celebrates 20 Years

It was 16th April 1988 when the first pint of Doris' 90th Birthday Ale was downed by Sir Chris Bonnington thereby marking the inauguration of Hesket Newmarket Brewery.

Discerning drinkers have been enjoying our beers ever since!
