Welbeck Abbey Brewery
Welbeck Abbey is a traditional, British, real ale brewery. Located on the Welbeck estate which nestles in the heart of ‘The Dukeries’ – a beautifully green area spanning the stunning Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire countryside. The small, traditional, wood-clad brewery is housed in a listed barn on the estate and was established in 2011 by head brewer Claire Monk. Claire heads a small team that is hand crafting almost 15,000 pints of beer a week, priding themselves on using only four of the finest quality ingredients; barley, hops, yeast and water.
The brewery has achieved several awards with Portland Black gaining silver at the CAMRA National Winter 2017 festival. In 2022, after the coronavirus pandemic, was an exciting time for the brewery with a new core range of 4 beers and the opening of the brewery's own bottling plant.
