Peak Ales Revenue

About Peak Ales

Back in January 2003 Robert & Debra Evans had a carefully prepared plan - sell the house, uproot their family, leave secure jobs and set up a microbrewery in the Peak District! Simple? Rob knew he only had one chance to get this right, working hard to find premises suitable to fit with his dream. Chatsworth suggested he take a look at Cunnery Barn on the Chatsworth Estate, the barn buildings were in disrepair but the potential was obvious; the perfect location for a microbrewery had been discovered. Two years later and after many hurdles including planning, electricity, drainage, renovation, finance and resident Barn Owls, the first beer had been brewed and the owls had a purpose built nesting box - no other Barn Owls in Derbyshire have accommodation so grand! It had been an emotional journey. Mighty oaks from little acorns grow so they say and by 2012 it was becoming clear we'd reached capacity and keeping up with demand was a challenge. At the end of 2014 we upgraded our brewing equipment to a 20 barrel plant and the main brewery moved to a purpose built premise in the picturesque location of Ashford in the Water. We have a core range of National award winning cask and bottled beers, alongside specials throughout the seasons. We are proud supply consistent quality ales in and around the Peak District.
