Lancaster Brewery has launched Little Tales Brew, a small-batch craft beer brand for a new generation of drinkers.

Little Tales Brew was created to craft beers that are packed with flavour, each with its own bold tale to tell.

Inspired by classic stories and folklore, the brand, which was developed by Lancaster brand and creative studio Two Stories, reimagines stories for a modern audience of craft beer drinkers to discover, share and savour.

Its first beer, Stomp the Ground, is now pouring at Tite & Locke and The Sun in Lancaster, as well as pubs and bars across Cumbria.

Lancaster Brewery will launch three new beers at the Christmas market from November 27 to 29.

With another two beers - Rabbit Gone Rogue and Big Time Crush - set to launch at the end of the month, all three will be available at the Lancaster Brewery Christmas market from November 27 to 29.

Little Tales Brew has its own recipes and its own approach, with a focus on juicy pales and hazy IPAs.

The beers are brewed in Lancaster with carefully chosen ingredients on a dedicated 1,000-litre brewery, built for the purpose and separate from the main Lancaster Brewery plant.

The brand grew out of nearly two years of experimenting. After more than 20 years of brewing traditional cask ales, Lancaster Brewery owner Phil Simpson and the team began trying new styles, including sours, wheat and rye beers, heavy hop additions and different fermentation techniques.

Phil said: “There were some brilliant results, a few that went back to the drawing board, and an enormous amount of learning along the way. Little Tales Brew is what came out of it: big, punchy, flavour-packed beers for a new generation of drinkers.

“We’re immensely proud of Lancaster Brewery and the traditional beers we’ve spent decades perfecting. That’s not changing. But Little Tales Brew is a different beast altogether.”

Drinkers can try all three beers at the Lancaster Brewery Christmas market, which runs from November 27 to 29 at the brewery.

There will be samples to try and beers to buy.

Lancaster Brewery is a working brewhouse with a tavern offering simple food and real ales, plus events.

The brewery is at Lancaster Leisure Park, Wyresdale Rd, Lancaster LA1 3LA tel: 01524 848537.
