at the now sadly defunct Oakhill brewery.

Westmorland Gold passage is a fine walking size passage in Bucket on The Head Cave in Barbondale in Cumbria named after the fine beer that the diggers enjoyed at the Barbon Inn nearby !!!!
The rest of the cave mostly has names "on a bucket idea"!
Of note the Westmorland Gold Passage has a lot of bright yellow lichen / sulphur spots ?? that "add to the name"

Surely most caves are named after beer, how many are named before beer?

Stout Slocker at Oakhill, east mendip, named after the "glucose stout" that used to be made
at the now sadly defunct Oakhill brewery.

If you are talking about the famous stout brewed at the original Oakhill Brewery, not either of its brief re-incarnations, it was sold as Oakhill Invalid Stout. That suggests it was a lactose stout containing a certain proportion of lactose sugar which is not fermented by beer yeast and remains as sugar in the final product giving it a sweetness not obtained with easily fermented sugars such as glucose.

The OG was supposed to be 1054.8 and the FG 1018.5. The gives an attenuation of only 66.24%, strongly suggesting the presence of some non-fermentable sugar. (These figures are not very different from Mackeson, cans of this still I think have a picture of a milk churn on them, indicating the presence of lactose.)
