Unlike most breweries we prefer to source our flavourings from local suppliers, home growers and farms as well as our own foraging efforts.
Ashover brewery was founded in 2007 by Roy Shorrock & Kim Beresford at the Old Poets Corner public house in Ashover Chesterfield Derbyshire to bring the local real ale enthusiast something exciting in their local pub. Very quickly after experimenting with flavours and brewing techniques the popularity of the beers grew and so did the range.
Ashover Brewery continued to grow and brew at the Old Poets Corner right up to 2015 when demand got so high that Kim & Roy had no choice than to expand in to an industrial unit in Clay Cross and run efforts at both sites for a short time.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby There are malts in the nose of this one, plus a faint hint of coffee. Pours almost black with a small beige head. Good lacing too. On the mouth there is cherries, blackcurrants and liquorice, and a surprising fizzyness. Finish is dominated by coffee. Drinkable.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby Pours a classic yellow with a small white head. Citrus in the nose, which breaks down in the mouth to lemon, grapefruit and pineapple with malty biscuits underlying this. Finish is hoppy, peppery and lemony. Pleasant enough but undistinguished.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby Nose is nutty and malty – walnuts maybe. Pours a rich reddish brown with a small white head. The nuttiness continues in the mouth where it is joined by fruity notes, strawberries and maple syrup. There are hops in there as well, but they don’t dominate. Finish has a malty sharpness, alongside raspberries. Quite nice overall.

A fairly basic stout in as much as it doesn't do anything you don't expect bar one thing, but just a really good example of a dry, bitter chocolate and coffee stout. The one thing is the addition of the fuggles mentioned in the description and the little hoppy kick at the end is a pleasant twist.

Cask at the Fuggle & Nugget, Burton. Light gold, clear, no head. Hay and light notes of lemon balm on the nose. Taste is quite sweet with a scratchy hop bitterness in the long finish. This is a hard beer to like. I normaly like Ashover but this beer doesn't excite me.
