Buxton Brewery began brewing in 2010 and is based in the famous Spa town in Derbyshire’s Peak District, establishing itself as world-class craft brewery with a growing reputation for producing flavourful, aromatic and high quality craft beers.
The brewery produces batches of around 800 litres of beer at a time, and has a portfolio of seventeen distinct beers, with more being added regularly. The beers range from their tasty and aromatic 3.6% Pale Ale, ‘Moor Top’ all the way up to their sublime 9.5% Russian Imperial Stout ‘Tsar’. The brewers’ favourite style is India Pale Ale, of which they brew five variants.
Working at maximum capacity, the small group of committed beer lovers produce 30,000 pints of ale per month, and are enjoying rapid growth in sales close to home, nationally and internationally. An expansion project which will double the capacity of the brewery is nearing completion, with the final pieces of equipment due to be commissioned by the end of April. The brewery is regularly picking up awards and plaudits from beer drinkers all over the world and sends beer as far afield as the US and New Zealand.

I know we keep saying this, but our Meet The Brewer events seems to be getting better and better! MASSIVE thanks to all at Hardknott for providing a very entertaining evening.
We enjoyed beers including Cool Fusion, Continum, Code Black, Colonial and a very special 3 year Old Infra Red! Not forgetting the fabulous sausage and cheese from Melville Tyson butchers in Cumbria.
Thanks to all who attended and made it another sell out success. See you all at the next Meet The Brewer with Buxton brewery on Monday 30th May.

Back in November 2011, Hardknott proudly launched Vitesse Noir at our lovely establishment. SO we thought it was time to open the doors and let them take over a Meet the Brewer evening. Be prepared for a bit of Sooty action and some fine beers!
Brewery info /
This brewery was originally located at the Woolpack Inn, at the foot of Hardknott Pass, near Boot in Eskdale but in Feb 2010 the pub was sold and the kit taken to an industrial unit in Millom. The pub continues to sell at least one of the beers.
The inn was bought in February 2004 by Ann Wedgewood and Dave Bailey. They decided in 2005 that the Bunkhouse was not making a significant contribution to the business and so they decided to replace the Bunkhouse with a microbrewery. The Woolpack was known to have brewed beer in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Dave became famous as Hardknott Dave for his blog, which you can read it by clicking here.
