A Carlisle pub is celebrating its 15th successive year in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.
Out of 47,000 pubs and other drinks outlets across the UK, the national guide selects the best 4,500 every year.
The Spinners Arms in Cummersdale is one of the most featured in the country, having been included again in the 2022 Good Beer Guide.
Owners Alain and Alison Davis set up a microbrewery there eight years ago.
They have since moved the brewing operation to Kingstown, and the Spinners is the ‘tap’ for their own award-winning beers.
Alison said: “We’re really proud to still be in the Spinners, especially considering the problems with COVID over the last 18 months.
“We’ve worked hard to maintain the quality of the beer we sell. We’re obviously very proud that we set up Carlisle Brewing Co on site, that we managed to expand, moving to Kingstown for production in 2015, and the Spinners is now our brewery tap.
“We couldn’t have done it without the support of a lot of people – our regulars, suppliers, brewery customers, staff and we’d like to thank all of them.”
During lockdowns, Alain and Alison operated a Beer in a Box scheme, where they made home deliveries across the county.
