## About

Drone Valley Brewery is a local Craft Ale Brewery and a Brewery Tap open to the public, selling draught and bottled beers.  The brewery is owned and run by its members, a group of people with an interest in brewing beer and serving the local community in North East Derbyshire and South Yorkshire.

We are a Community Benefit Society. Our profits go to good causes in the local area, and we work to support local community initiatives, well-being, and cohesion. We have members locally, elsewhere in the UK and further abroad. It doesn’t matter where you live, you are welcome to join our society and become a part-owner of a brewery.

Our brewery and tap have been built, developed, and operated by volunteer members. Our recipes cover a wide range of real ales. These are full-flavoured craft beers made with traditional ingredients, un-rushed and cared for, to give high-quality brews. We have a core range of ten recipes with additional seasonal specials, one-off prototype brews, and good-causes specials.

Our beers are available at the brewery tap in Unstone, Derbyshire (S18 4AB); at our pop-up bars at various local community events; at independent bottle shops in the area; and local pubs, clubs and bars. Our bottled beers are also available mail-order through our online shop, with free delivery to local members and courier delivery at cost throughout the UK.
