## About

Derby Brewing Company is run by two generations of the Harris family. Following thirty years brewing experience, Trevor Harris founded DBC in 2004. The day-to-day running of the company is now done by his son Paul and daughter-in-law Leanne. The team has now expanded, with a full brewery team, office and sales staff, and employees at each of our venues.

Our family-run brewery is based in Derby, with five venues across the Midlands - The Tap and The Greyhound in Derby, The Hole In The Wall in Mickleover, The Pig in Lichfield, and The Middle Bell in Barton-under-Needwood. 

Our most popular beers are Business as Usual, Quintessential and Hop Till You Drop, but we're regularly brewing new beers.
