We are pleased to confirm the first two festival partners for 2025.
We couldn’t be happier that our lead festival partner is a brewery who are joining our little event in celebrating its 20th year in 2025.
Thornbridge Brewery‘s journey began in early 2005 in the small Stonemasons Workshop at Thornbridge Hall in Derbyshire. Their flagship beer, the iconic Jaipur IPA, was featured at the second Chorlton Beer Festival and has been a favourite every time it’s been featured. Over the years, they’ve brewed hundreds of beers, from crisp lagers to complex barrel-aged sours, even being able to utilise their own Burton Union set at their state of the art Riverside Brewery in Bakewell. Of course you’ll be able to enjoy Jaipur and many other Thornbridge beers at #CBCF25.
We are also pleased to welcome on board an independent brewery with an even longer history as our website partner.
Abbeydale Brewery was founded in 1996 and has been employee owned since 2024. They blend creativity and innovation with heritage and tradition, with much loved beers such as Deception and Moonshine sitting alongside modern beers packed with flavour and creativity from the Brewers Emporium and some incredible mixed fermentation specials from The Funk Dungeon.
