Aldwark Artisan Ales

Aldwark Artisan Ales Brewers of Artisan craft beer, made using water from our own bore hole, this makes our beer unique. Limestone filtered in the hills of the peak district.

Welcome to our quirky world of sheep, cows, brewing beer and generally trying to sustain a life with our kids on the farm
we invite you through the farm gates to experience a little of our random life and to taste our scrummy ales. In the southern hills of the peak district, on a working beef and sheep farm, Ian is converting the old milking parlour into his very own ale producing laboratory. Ian

is a pharmacist by trade, a self taught builder, plumber, electrician and farmer. Jen is 3rd generation farmer on Lydgate farm, meal producer, washer woman and a generally disorganized mess. Fran and Max are instigators of trouble, mess and mayhem. (children)
and Dips the dog is just hungry. Wish us luck and enjoy following our story.

Very proudly standing today with our British farmers.. didn’t make it to the march but have been thinking of you all and am there in spirit! A beautiful community that we are so so proud to be part of, that is far too often criticised rather than praised.. we’d all be pretty hungry without them!

We managed to skid our way out the village to go and set up the bar for their open day tomorrow, Wednesday! Loads of goodies on offer, but most importantly there’ll be a bar from us and some hot food from hollow farm! And they’ve pitched me right next to them so most likely if you pop down to say hi, I will be eating! We will have ale straight out the barrel, proper cider, some lagers, mulled wine and baileys hot chocs on the go, as well as our usual bottled beers and gift packs to grab any Xmas presents!
Lesters is always a place I love to be.. (best shop ever!) but it’s lovely they’ve asked us to do the bar.. happy days!
See you tomorrow.. 8am till 4pm!

We’ve got a lively batch folks!
It’s over carbonated.. we’ve now reduced the amount of yeast and glucose we use in the bottle conditioning process.. it’s come out a bit too flat so we’ve gone for the middle.. you’d have thought we’d have mastered this by now! 😂
So anyone with over fizzy bottles get in touch and I’ll sort out replacements! In the meantime keep them cool and open in the sink and give it 5 mins.. just in case.
Hope this hasn’t deprived anyone of a good night in!
