Brackenrigg Inn, Penrith

Pub and brewery with accommodation overlooking Ullswater. 4 of the Brack 'N' Brew beers were on and the welcome was warm. I was looking forward to trying the stout, but it was the one of their beers that was off. Although the barmaid was pouring something through. The 4 ales on were The Rambling Bookkeeper, Boathouse Blonde, Aira Force & Alfred's Golden Ale. My Alfred's Golden Ale was a fairly decent substitute. Unusually, all of the other customers were women, until a couple (man and woman) arrived with their dog. Views of the lake from the front are impressive, whilst the brewery itself can be seen at the rear. Decent place. I'm surprised it's not been in the last 4 editions of the Good Beer Guide. I suspect they may have upset CAMRA somehow!
