The May Day bank holiday weekend not only saw extended hours and live music at the Drone Valley Brewery tap but a new beer release – Vienna Dark Mild.
Eyam Brewery are now supplying pubs and bottle shops further afield via Sellar. Meanwhile back at the brewery they have an open day coming up on 15 June featuring beer, pizza and music. Visitors are encouraged to buy tickets in advance (just £2.50 including first pint!), however you can just turn up on the day subject to capacity. The event runs from midday until 6pm.
Bradfield Brewery continue with their usual calendar of season ales, the cherry beer went down well in May and it is time to move on in June to Farmers Wim-Bull-Don (yes, tennis themed!) which is a pale coloured fruity ale with a burst of summer fruit flavours. July will see their Elderflower Ale make a comeback, brewed with blooms freshly picked from the farmers fields! Additionally the brewery have been putting teasers out on social media about a new limited edition special bottled beer to be launched in their brewery shop on 24 May.
Intrepid Brewery at Brough (between Bamford/Hope and Bradwell) have open day events planned for 10 August and 5 October. On these days they open a pop up bar in the brewery and have seating outside with Sunshine Pizza Oven trading outside and a neighbouring business providing the tunes! There is a bus stop at the end of the drive – buses on route 272 (Sheffield-Castleton) that serve Bradwell go there along with buses on route 173 (Castleton-Bakewell).
Stancill Brewery had two suitable beers out for the Mild in May campaign with “India” (a 4% ABV ruby coloured mild) and “Tom’s Mild” (a 3.4% dark mild which was their second ever brew after Barnsley Bitter) both making a comeback!
