Thornbridge Brewery

The Thornbridge story began back in 2005 when the founders Jim Harrison and Simon Webster recruited two young brewers to brew on a second hand 10-barrel kit in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall. [...] In 2009 a brand new state of the art brewery was built at Riverside, Bakewell to meet with demand and allow Thornbridge to develop their range of beers. Brewing still takes place today on the original kit which has been moved to beside the Taproom at Riverside, which allows us to experiment with new brews, create bespoke Hall brews, collaborations and assist the main brewery in Bakewell. [...] When Carlsberg Marston's retired their historic Burton union system, one of British brewing's great traditions looked lost forever. With a little help from old friend Garrett Oliver, Thornbridge moved fast - acquiring a section of the set and installing it at Riverside by May 2024. We are now the only brewery in the world still operating one. The first beer through it? A union version of Jaipur. What else. [...] Two decades in, and the passion for making exceptional beer hasn't dimmed for a moment.
