Ashover Brew Co: A New Chapter in Brewing
Nestled in the heart of Derbyshire, the newly established Ashover Brew Co hopes to be making waves in the world of brewing with its fresh, bold approach to brewing. Located in the village of Clay Cross, a stone's throw away from the scenic Ashover, this exciting new brewery combines innovative techniques with a rich appreciation for local heritage, offering something truly special for beer enthusiasts.
The original Ashover Brewery was founded in 2007 and over the years has won numerous industry-wide awards for their beers. Unfortunately, due to several factors the brewery then slipped into liquidation. A group of locals believed this was a great loss to the area and decided to do something about it and Ashover Brew Co. was born…
Founded by a passionate team of brewers and entrepreneurs, Ashover Brew Co is spearheaded by Head Brewer Janine , a talented brewer whose dedication to the craft shines through in every brew. With the support of co-owners Lewis B, Andy C, Richard W, Jon H, Gethin J, and Richard C, Ashover Brew Co is poised to become a household name in the ever-evolving brewing scene. The final keys to the puzzle are Ashover stalwart Brian Exford and enthusiastic new-hire Assistant Brewer, Jack Burton who are both valuable assets to the brewery.
"Our vision is to create beers that are as unique and varied as the people who enjoy them," says Lewis Bassett. "We want to create beers that are approachable yet complex, with something for every palate. But at the same time, we want to stay true to our local roots - everything we do is inspired by the area’s rich brewing history and the stunning Peak District that surrounds us."
The brewery gained a loyal following for its core range of beers including standout offerings like ‘Zoo’ a vibrant and zesty Mosaic and Citra hopped pale, bursting with tropical fruit flavours, and ‘Coffin Lane’, a rich and full-bodied stout.
