The Award-Winning Brampton Brewery !

Yes it’s true !!  You may have seen the good news in the latest Derbyshire Times, or will hopefully see further reports in forthcoming issues of InnSpire, that Brampton Brewery has picked up it’s first official awards at last weekend’s Chesterfield Beer Festival.  The “People’s Choice” award goes to the first beer to sell out at the festival, and this year it went to our very own GOLDEN BUD which sold out in about a session and a half.  So apologies to anyone who had a ticket for the Saturday night and therefore missed out on it completely.

Our second award went to our Festival Special.  We decided to re-launch BRAMPTON MILD, not the original recipe I hasten to add, but our own take on it.  Brampton Mild is now a rich 4.9% caramel mild, and it walked away with best beer in it’s class.  The second-placed beer in this category was Brampton’s Impy Dark, so all-in-all we had a successful weekend!

 

 

 

 

Designer Gear!

Our range of leisure-wear has recently been increased (OK, OK—it’s just started) with the introduction of the embroidered Brampton Brewery logo polo-shirt.  I’ll try and get more details on a separate page in the “Beer Range” section, but for now you’ll have to make do with this pic.  Oh, they’re 16 quid each if picked up from the brewery, P&P charged at cost, and are available in marl grey and navy, sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL (depending on your capacity for Brampton Ales).

Outlets.

Well our regulars are steadily increasing in numbers.  As I’ve said before I make no apologies for naming them all again - please try and support them because they support us.  In no particular order they are:

The Rutland, Town Centre                   The Royal Oak, Shambles                    The Fidlers Rest, Bolsover

The Shoulder, Clay Cross                    The Grouse, Brampton                         The Royal Oak, Brampton

The Barrel, Brampton                           The Hare & Hounds, Barlow

Brampton Weekender.

Friday 18th April sees the start of a Brampton Brewery “weekender” being staged by the wonderful people at the Arkwright Arms, Sutton-cum-Duckmanton.  John and Kathy stage these mini micro fest’s every couple of months, and if the success of our recent promotion night at the Blue Stoops is anything to go by then a great weekend should be in the offing.  In addition to the standard range of beers, John and Kathy will also be featuring the award-winning Brampton Mild alongside Jerusalem - our latest special brewed to help us all celebrate St George’s Day on 23rd April.

Catch-up with all the latest from the Arkwright on their web-site at www.arkwrightarms.co.uk

St George’s Day, and More Awards.

As I mentioned above Brampton Brewery are proud to present Jerusalem - our St George’s Day special.  Jerusalem is a 4.6% smooth amber ale, and was snapped up by most of our regular customers so quickly it was sold out before it had been racked off !!!

In particular I’d like to mention The Rutland in Chesterfield Town Centre who will be staging a St George’s Day special celebration on ‘the big day’.  In addition to Jerusalem Jane and Ken will also feature a host of traditional pub games, alongside a range of classically English fayre.

We’ve also just been informed of another award!  Impy Dark won Mild of the Festival at the recent Leicester Beer Festival, and Golden Bud a creditable 3rd place in the Golden Ales category.  We are currently talking with Leicester CAMRA about a brewery tour and presentation evening.

AND FINALLY - at last we are getting the Brampton Brewery Club up and running.  Click the “BBC” link above to find out more details.
