Quiet progress in a noisy year

Our 25/26 sustainability report is published, and you can read it in full on our Sustainability page. I’ll be honest, it hasn’t felt like an easy year to talk about this work publicly. The Trump administration has made dismantling ESG an explicit objective, much of the corporate world has quietly stepped back from its public […]
Beer is Heavy

Beer is heavy. Annoyingly so. Running a brewery has all sorts of unique challenges, but one of the most underappreciated is that of transporting all the beer to our much beloved customers. At Fell, most of this ordeal revolves around putting beer into vans and driving it to where it needs to go. Sounds straightforward […]
I LOVE CASK BEER – by Denny Rogers, age 30

I often think about drinking my first pints in the pub at 16… ermmm, 18, usually either out for food or watching United in the pub with my parents. It was a 50/50 chance that what I was drinking was either some sort of macro lager (usually during the match) or a pint of whatever […]
Grain, Carbon and Witnessing the Future

Grain, Carbon and Witnessing the Future It’s been about a year since we switched our grain supply to Simpsons Malt in Berwick-upon-Tweed. A couple of weeks ago we went up as a team to see where Fell’s grain comes from and to witness their decarbonisation in action. It was genuinely inspiring. As I wrote previously, […]
Bread and Butter Sustainability – More Beer from Less Grain

Decarbonising a small brewery is complicated. It involves a whole array of measures that all add up, hopefully and progressively, to remove the fossil fuel derived carbon from our production and supply chain. Some of those steps themselves are very complicated. Some will involve fancy machines that are difficult to understand. Some of them will […]
Four Weeks Off, On Us: Introducing Fell’s Sabbatical for Long-Serving Team Members

At Fell, we know that the strength of our brewery comes from the people behind it. Brewing beer is a team effort that thrives on creativity, dedication and passion and we believe those qualities deserve to be recognised. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new perk for our long-standing team members, a four-week sabbatical […]
Introducing St. Sunday Lager

We’ve been quietly proud of our lager for a long time. Crisp, clean and refreshing lager beer brewed in Cumbria; inspired by the classic Bavarian style, Helles. Unfiltered and unpasteurised, it’s smooth and moreish with all of the complexity that comes with many weeks of cold maturation. So, it felt like time it got an identity to […]
Meadowsweet Farmhouse Pale 4.2%

The newest entry to our series of collaborative beers with Our Farm, in Cartmel, where flawless produce is grown for the kitchens of Simon Rogan led by head chef Liam Fitzpatrick. Meadowsweet Farmhouse Pale revives the ancient use of the flower meadowsweet – so entwined in brewing history it’s even named for the drink mead […]
A Little Hope and Optimism for a Sustainable Future

Hi all, It’s a bit of a mad world out there right now, I think we can all agree. As such, some might argue that it isn’t the best time to be championing a small brewery’s efforts to decarbonise their beer. Perhaps there are bigger issues at hand. I reject that idea wholeheartedly! Now is […]
Our First Proper Sustainability Report!

Hi all, I’m genuinely really excited to share with you Fell Brewery’s very first external sustainability report. It’s a pretty big deal for us—not just as a brewery, but as a team deeply committed to doing right by our planet. It marks the end of the beginning of a journey we’ve been quietly working on […]
