Description
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 in early 2025.

However, 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...

Our vision is to create beers that are as unique and varied as the people who enjoy them. 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.

Cask at Petersgate Tap, Stockport. Served too cold so a re-rate may be required. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a generous beige head and good lacing. Plums and malts in the nose with just a hint of coffee. Texture is rather watery with low carbonation. In the mouth, dark fruits predominate, with traces of cocoa, malts and fag-ash (!). Rounded off with a fruity finish. A reasonable beer, but too much fruit and not enough porter !

500ml bottle deep ruby body, off white head. Strong nose of dark chocolate, bit of pithy orange. Taste is a dark chocolate Terry's with a robust and rounded mouthfeel. Pleasant and decent effort.
