The brewery:  "Set in a lush valley within the Peak District National Park beside the River Dane we are in a very privileged and unique location for a brewery......We are privileged to have a very loyal customer base for our beers. This is not something that we take lightly - there is still intense competition in this sector that was embryonic 15 years ago when we started out. Now with the added complexity of a global pandemic; we, like all other breweries, have had to rethink our strategy and purpose in order bluntly, to ensure survival." The beer: "A delicious golden IPA brewed with Derek in mind. Fortunate enough to have spent his whole life in Wincle, Derek counts himself as blessed ... and with the view of a brewery quite literally on his doorstep who can disagree? " November 2023.
