It doesn't get any better than this Archaeologist Fiona sets up new brewery

A CUMBRIAN woman has swapped archaeology for ale to open up a brewery in Geltsdale.

Fiona Deal, 42, decided on the move after years of amateur brewing.

She had been working as an archaeologist at Tullie House Museum, Carlisle, on short term contracts.

But now Fiona, a mother-of-five and grandmother-of-one, has set up at Brampton Old Brewery’s former industrial units.
