The origins of the Cross Bay brand name ‘Cross Bay’ relates to the area in which the brewery is based and the intriguing stories that surround the historic Bay Crossings. Before the railway network was established in 1857, merchants and travellers would journey across the sands of Morecambe Bay as a short cut between Lancashire and The Lake District. Crossing the Bay could be incredibly dangerous due to the fast changing tides and quick sands, Due to this, most of the travellers owed their lives to the Guides who found and marked the safest routes across the sands with laurel branches. Today there are still two official Royal Guides who take groups across the Bay for walks and runs, often for charity.

Brewed by our award winning team Cross Bay’s head brewer Nick Taylor first became involved in brewing ten years ago. In March 2012 after only being in operation eight months, the brewery was awarded it’s first Champion Trophy at the Lancaster Beer Festival, winning the Strong Bitters category with Zenith. Zenith has also gone on to win Beer of the Festival at both Morecambe Beer Festival and Burnley Beer Festival. Nick and the brewing team, Arthur and Dan are looking to the future and their passion and dedication to brewing Real Ale is already recognised as a success. That hasn’t stopped the brewery team’s quest for quality beer as they now look toward consistently producing more award winning ales for the nation to enjoy. And enjoy they have, as our beers have been available from as far North as Loch Ness and as far South as Southend so far...
