Background

History

The first Thornbridge craft beers were produced during February 2005 in a 10-barrel brewery housed in outbuildings at Thornbridge Hall. A new 30-barrel brewery, at a former car sales showroom in Bakewell, opened in September 2009. As of 2015, the brewery operates 12 pubs and exports its beers to 33 countries. In 2024, with the support of Brooklyn Brewery using equipment donated by Marston's Brewery, Thornbridge recommissioned the only remaining, working Burton Union brewing set.
