Thornbridge

Back in 2005, was where it all began for Thornbridge Brewery. Founders Jim Harrison and Simon Webster hired two young brewers to brew using a second hand 10 barrel kit in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall. Their Thornbridge Jaipur beer was launched in 2005 and was unlike anything the industry had ever seen — an IPA full of American hops! In 2009, they moved to a brand new brewery at Riverside, Bakewell to keep up with demand but they still use their second hand 10 barrel kit!
