Derbyshire's drinks scene is one of the most diverse in the country. Thornbridge Brewery in Bakewell has won over 200 international awards and its Jaipur IPA is regarded as one of the defining beers of the UK craft movement. Buxton Brewery has built a reputation for bold, innovative brewing from the Peak District spa town. And smaller producers like Whim Ales, brewing traditional cask ales on a farm since 1993, show the depth of the county's brewing culture.
The spirits scene is equally strong. White Peak Distillery in Ambergate was the first full-scale distillery in the county and produces whisky, gin, and rum. Shivering Mountain uses foraged botanicals from the hills above Hathersage. Dancing Anchor crafts its Twisted Mule gins in Dronfield. Renishaw Hall Vineyard brings English wine to the edge of the Peak District.
