Croglin/Nine Standards Brewery

The Nine Standards Brewery was a small 2.5 barrel brewery located in the basement of the Croglin Castle Hotel in Kirkby Stephen. Initially the brewery was installed by Graham Moss under different management as the Croglin Brewery, but responsibility was passed over to Ian and Rob, managers of the Croglin Castle in August 2011.

The beer is now believed to be brewed under licence by the Settle Brewing Company.
