Located within easy walking distance of the Carlisle Events Fairground, Desperate Times Brewery is a popular meeting place for Carlisle beer lovers. The name of the brewery is derived from the dark days of the Prohibition.

The Brewhouse and Tap Room offer a good selection of award winning house-brewed beers on tap (13) as well as a full food menu and non-alcoholic drinks. There is an outdoor biergarten for good-weather days. The menu is German-inspired and the food has been carefully considered to perfectly compliment all the house beers. You can choose anything from a pulled pork and grilled cheese sandwich to a hearty plate of German sausage with all the trimmings.
