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.

Third, cask, 5.0 % abv, at Brighton Bierhaus. Stable fawn-coloured head leaving clingy lacing down the glass. Coal black body. Promising smell of dark dough and chocolate malts. Earthy malts to the taste buds alongside moments of liquorice and chocolate. Slightly roasted, mid-sweet malty finish. Likable. (Brighton 17.10.2019).

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.
