Description
Welbeck is one of the great traditional landed estates bordering Sherwood Forest. It is home to an artisan village, producing specialist foods and crafts in a beautiful rural setting.

General Manager and brewer, Claire Monk, established our microbrewery in 2011. It’s housed in a beautiful listed barn at the heart of this community, and has steadily grown in size to meet the demand for good local beer. We also have some fabulous neighbours in adjacent barns, including a coffee roaster, chocolatier and bakery. All our products can be found at the Welbeck Farm shop in the Welbeck Courtyard.

The two guiding principles which underpin our brewery are to produce the best quality beer in the market, and provide our customers with exemplary service every time. Our head brewer, James, brews 15,000 pints a week which we supply into pubs, restaurants and specialist bottle beer shops within a 35 mile radius.

Bottle. Welbeck Farm Shop. Nearly black. Thin sticky beige foam. Nose has antiseptic. Bit of cardboard. Literally nothing suggests there’s a barrel aged stout in the glass. Taste is savoury and sweet. Some acidity. Some burnt bitterness. Oily and cloying. Nasty bitter finish. Shite.

Cask. Clowne Community Centre, after Liz’s funeral. Jesus. Wasn’t expecting this, someone I’ve known more than half my lifetime. Never failed to make you laugh. Completely crackers. Owned a skateboarding boxer dog. Anyway. Beer was quite nice. Floral and easy drinking. Good nick too. See you later Liz.
