"A cool Nottingham pub and kitchen, Brewhouse is home to as many as 50 different types of beer, including its own homemade range. On top of an impressive selection of food and drinks, the Trent Bridge bar houses a sprawling outdoor garden overlooking the river."

"Delectable food and drink with a beautiful view of the River Trent. Trent Bridge, Nottingham, NG2 2GShttps://www.brewhouseandkitchen.com/book/Current seating availability: walk-ins are welcome but bookings advised"

"We're miles from a beach here in Nottingham, but the Trent is the next best thing. Watching the sun come down over the river with a gin and tonic in hand equals a pretty perfect evening in my book."

"Thornbridge is a famous brewery located near Bakewell- it’s so well known that we once found it in a bar in Iceland!. But if you wanted to try and wide range of Thornbridge beer closer to where it’s made there are some brilliant pubs in Sheffield that the brewery have taken over. These, such as the Bath Hotel, are great places to try their tipple."

"Brampton Brewery was once a tour de force of beer brewing on a massive scale, a status that lasted 130 years but was sadly forced to stop it’s production in the 1950s. Luckily back in 2007 the dream to bring Brampton Brewery back to it’s former glory (or at least create a tribute to it) was realised and a micro-brewery was created!. Today Brampton have a great selection of delicious (and award-winning) brews."

"Brampton Brewery serves rich ales with an even richer history. Reinvented and revitalised from what was once a powerhouse of beer making, Brampton Brewery once produced 30,000 gallons of beer a week but stopped producing in the 1950s. So, for almost half a century, the Brampton Brewery name slipped further and further into history, until 2007 when it was revivified!"

"If your stags are lovers of craft beer and ales, take them to BrewDog for a boozy taste experience like no other!. The homely yet vibrant atmosphere in BrewDog is warm and welcoming, the perfect place to gets the lads together to enjoy a casual drink and a bit of banter before the stag party celebrations get into full swing. On the menu, there’s a whole host of quality IPA beer, guaranteed to please every one of your palates."

"A cool craft beer bar in Nottingham, BrewDog is a fun and relaxed place for catching up with friends over pizza and cold pints. The Hockley spot is serving up much more than just their own brews, with taps and fridges packed with exciting new sips from around the world."

"If a brew bar in the city centre sounds interesting you can give BrewDog Nottingham a try. At this pub, situated in a 100 year old factory building, you can choose between hundreds of bottled beers and fourteen draft beers accompanied by live music."

"Established in 2007, Ashover Brewery was until recently, situated in an old stable block behind one of the area’s most quaint village pubs, The Old Poets’ Corner. With 8 core brews and a range of ‘special brews’, all ranging from dark stout to light, crisp Citra ales, Ashover Brewery has something for all tastes. You can find these beers in a few local pubs, but why not try them in the pub where it all starts, The Old Poets’ Corner in Ashover!"

"These guys have been brewing beers since 2007 in a great little brewery in the old stable block behind the Old Poets' Corner at Ashover. The Old Poet’s Corner is one of our favourite pubs in Derbyshire- they have an amazing beer festival, which is well worth going to!. Ashover Brewery beers range from glorious 5% ‘Coffin Lane Stout, right through to golden ales such as ‘the Fabrick’ to the light and fresh 3.7% ‘Light Rale’."

"Brewed in a converted barn on the Chatsworth Estate, Peak Ales has to be one of the best-loved Peak District breweries. They can be found and tasted in many countryside pubs in the area; brews like their IPA, Chatsworth Gold and Bakewell Best Bitter being perfect for anyone wanting a true taste of Derbyshire and the Peak District  - if you could bottle the countryside, it would taste like this!"

"Castle Rock Brewery is the largest independent brewery in Nottingham, and they offer forty-minute tours for beer-lovers to take part in. The tours are available Monday through Saturday (Saturdays depend on whether there is football on, though), and start at just £12 per person. This is a seriously reasonable price if you ask me!"

"The Boot, is a 17th century Coaching Inn, in the historic village of Repton, Derbyshire. Dating back to 1649, it is thought The Boot’s original owner was a cobbler who hung an old boot outside the premises to let everyone know what he did and where he was and, whilst mending footwear, would offer customers ale and hospitality. Hospitality soon developed into offering places to sleep, which, thanks to the popularity of Repton, was quickly extended to the passing coach trade on routes cross country through Mercia."

"Buxton Brewery’s beginnings can be traced back to 2009 where in a small, cold, garage, a micro-brew was created – nine years on, they’ve gone from strength to strength, and now make upwards of 30 distinct brews!. A few highlights from their core range include Buxton Spa, Extra Stout and Axe Edge."

"The park has a variety of trees around the edge of the park, a playing area, as well as a number of football pitches for Sunday league matches."

"Head underground to explore limestone caverns bursting with history, interesting rock formations, crystal stalagmites and stalactites, and knowledgeable and entertaining guides!. Above ground, Poole’s Cavern & Buxton Country Park is also home to woodlands, natural scenery, and Solomon’s Temple, which offers panoramic views overlooking the peak district. If you’re daring enough, you can brave the treetops for adventure and scenery with the Go Ape ropes course, partnered with Poole’s Cavern"
