A 'NEW destination for local craft beer and real ale enthusiasts' is opening.

Bowness Tap Rooms has been modelled on its sister venue the Ambleside Tap Yard.

It is operated by High Spirits Leisure Group, which said that it has invested £150,000 into the venue which will create up to 20 new jobs.

It will offer craft beers from three large 880-pint copper tanks displayed in the venue, hand-pulled cask ales and an international range of draught beers. 

The beer selection will be accompanied with pizzas, gourmet burgers and sharing delicatessen boards. 

Alex Mauro, managing director of High Spirits, said: "We are truly passionate about craft beer and we strongly believe that everybody deserves to experience beer at its best.

"After the success we’ve seen in Ambleside with the Tap Yard, we wanted to bring 'its little sister' to Bowness to expand our offering to a wider audience." 

The group started trading in 2014 and currently operates seven venues including The Flying Pig and The Arts Bar, also in Bowness.
