The tap house for Bowness Bay Brewing is hidden in an old mill complex across the river from the town centre and is well worth the effort of discovery. At the back of the walled yard are self-contained beer booths, then a large folding-glass door opens to reveal a two-storey modern conversion with a snug-bar and upstairs comfy lounge.

The bar showcases the full range of beers brewed on site, and bottles are available to take-away. The twice-yearly festivals fill the yard and feature over forty specially-selected beers. Food is supplied by various vendors - see Facebook for details.

Please note this venue may close early at quiet times.
