Lake District hotel Wild Boar Inn has appointed Lukasz Zalewski as its new head brewer for its microbrewery.
Zalewski will oversee the installation of new equipment and an increase in production of exclusive beers manufactured on site.
He is formerly the head brewer for the Windermere Brewing Co, and has a wealth of experience in making beer.
The microbrewery at the hotel has benefited from the installation of new brewing
equipment including a new cask washer and the addition of 40 new casks.
Following the latest modernisation programme, the aim is for the Brewhouse to produce around 800 litres of real ales every week.
Zalewski said: “When I saw the job advertised on the Wild Boar Inn’s website, I thought
it was just the right job for me. I’ve always been fascinated by the brewing process and producing real ales on a larger scale. I’m really looking forward to fine tuning our production and seeing guests enjoy more of our own home-produced beers.”
Adam Bujok from English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues, which manages the Wild Boar Inn, added: “Lukasz has a passion for brewing high quality ales and his qualifications and experience as a brewer make him an ideal fit for his new role. It’s an exciting time for the Brewhouse as we bring all of our production in-house and seek to increase our output.
“The capability to produce our own real ales adds something special for our staying guests, local beer enthusiasts and diners – especially as part of our alternative afternoon tea experience.”
