Buxton Brewery was founded in 2009 by Geoff Quinn as a home-garage project and now produces 25,000 litres per week at its main production and canning site on Staden Lane in Buxton .

Geoff said: “The whole team here is incredibly proud to be recognised with these awards, for the bars we operate, the beers we make, and for the brewery as a whole.

“Following our 10-year anniversary in 2019, and with a large expansion project and new packaging line just commissioned, it’s great to have such wonderful positive feedback from the wider beer community, around the world.”

Joe Tucker, founder of Ratebeer, said: “RateBeer Top Brewer awards go out to fewer than third of one per cent of qualifying breweries and 2019 was our most competitive year to date.

“It’s a hard-earned honor and we couldn’t be prouder to recognise these breweries for their accomplishment.”
