Aldwark Artisan Ales Brewers of Artisan craft beer, made using water from our own bore hole, this makes our beer unique. Limestone filtered in the hills of the peak district.

Welcome to our quirky world of sheep, cows, brewing beer and generally trying to sustain a life with our kids on the farm
we invite you through the farm gates to experience a little of our random life and to taste our scrummy ales. In the southern hills of the peak district, on a working beef and sheep farm, Ian is converting the old milking parlour into his very own ale producing laboratory. Ian is a pharmacist by trade, a self taught builder, plumber, electrician and farmer. Jen is 3rd generation farmer on Lydgate farm, meal producer, washer woman and a generally disorganized mess. Fran and Max are instigators of trouble, mess and mayhem. (children)
and Dips the dog is just hungry. Wish us luck and enjoy following our story.
