Since 2005 the Thornbridge Brewery has been brewing award winning ales, the most successful being Jaipur, their India Pale Ale (IPA) which has won plenty of awards and rave reviews. The brewery started life in derelict buildings in the grounds of Thornbridge Hall, a stately home just outside Ashford-in-the-Water in Derbyshire. The brewery's success means that it is moving to larger premises in nearby Bakewell. Today, for the first time, the gardens of the Hall were open as part of the National Gardens Scheme.
