There are seven real ales on offer at any one time in Tweedies Bar and one traditional cider. The real ales on offer always include at least 3 local Micro Breweries. Yates award winning brewery is always available in the bar and the other two local beers change as to the Landlords taste. Such local favourites as Coniston Bluebird and Loweswater Gold can often be found.

Three other pumps are dedicated to guest beers which the Landlord changes regularly trying to support micro breweries from near and far with the emphasis on fresh quality beer. The final pump is reserved for the legendary Theakstons Old Peculiar.

The Grasmere Guzzler Festival on the first weekend of September each year boasts at least 40 different ales over the course of the weekend as well as plenty of live entertainment and good quality local food on the barbeque and hog roast.
