Anyone going?


Sounds great, booked my camping space weeks ago in the grounds of thornbridge hall.

Hope there are a few interesting one-offs as the line up I’ve seen so far is (relatively) easily obtainable SN and victory beers on keg which doesn’t interest me.

I did seriously consider this as my dad lives very close and I thought that he might want to go, however I have already got six music festivals lined up this summer and one of them is at Bakewell in August so I will get my Thornbridge fix then as they are doing the bar at that one.

Never knew this was on. If its on next year I will be making a big effort to pitch a tent.

Say whaaaaat? Thornbridge still brilliant. Halcyon, Jaipur, Kipling, Raven - all masterpieces and super reliable staples of my beer cupboard. On cask and keg around the pubs of Sheff.... Blinding.

yeah - of the last 5 or 6 new releases Ive had, valravn aside, they really haven’t done a lot for me. got to the point when i now see a new thornbridge beer and think ho-hum, what else is new for me, where as before it was a first choice pick.

agree on those beers Dan, but as you rightly point out - staples.
what new thornbridge beers have stood out in the last 6 months or so?

Fair point. They retain a strong portion of my heart though.

The Raspberry stout with St Eriks was pretty good and Otters tears, although there both about a year ago. The Valravn seems to be getting some good ratings.
