BUXTON BREWERY
Buxton Brewery first began their journey in the family garage in 2009. The founders, Geoff and Rich, had a rocky few months before they nurtured their pale ale to how they imagined it, and it wasn’t too long after that they decided to make the decision to go commercial with their brew. In 2015, the team has grown to 10 people and the brewery is based in a custom designed, British built brewhouse in Buxton. The core values of innovation and high-quality beer has led to the brewery creating over 30 distinct brews, as well as special edition beers - all beers are nurtured by a small team of enthusiastic beer lovers.
