About
Note that the Thornbridge Hall series (largely one off and specials circa 2010-15) deliberately carry the Thornbridge name in their title.

Innovation Passion and Knowledge in all we do - and to have some fun along the way. The Thornbridge story began back in 2005 when the founders Jim Harrison and Simon Webster recruited two young brewers to brew on a second hand 10-barrel kit in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall. Soon demand outstripped supply and the need for a new Brewery became clear. In 2009 a brand new state of the art brewery was built at Riverside, Bakewell to meet with demand and allow Thornbridge to develop their range of beers.

Brewing still takes place today on the original kit at Thornbridge Hall, which allows us to experiment with new brews, create bespoke Hall brews, collaborations and assist the main brewery in Bakewell.

Bottle from pre-ZBF store. Almost black, tan head that really lasts, solid, delicate lacing - who said that barrel aged ales couldn’t have a head or lacing?? Aroma of licorice, bitter cocoa, subtle whisky. Taste has dark bitter chocolate, oak, prunes. Whisky is apparent only in the finish. Lighter body than expected. Nice brew.
