Thornbridge Brewery is an English, independent brewery founded at Thornbridge Hall, now based in Bakewell, Derbyshire, and known for its Jaipur American style IPA beer.[1]

History

The first Thornbridge craft beers were produced during February 2005 in a 10-barrel brewery housed in outbuildings at Thornbridge Hall.[2]

A new 30-barrel brewery, at a former car sales showroom in Bakewell, opened in September 2009.[3]

As of 2015, the brewery operates 12 pubs and exports its beers to 33 countries.[4]

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.[5]

Awards

At the World Beer Awards, Thornbridge Brewery won gold medals in 2012,[6] 2013,[7] 2014[8] and 2015. In the World Beer Cup it won silver medals in 2010[9] and 2014,[10] and a bronze medal in 2012.[11]

In 2012, Jaipur IPA was named as one of The Top 50 food and drink products in Britain by the Guild of Fine Food.[12] Two years later it was selected as Best Drinks Producer in the BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming Awards.[13]
