Excellent service and super beer.
I ordered some bottles of Gurkha beer on a Tuesday and they were delivered on Thursday - an attempt was made to deliver the next day, but I was not in. This is brilliant service! The beer is also good... very good.

Sussex pale
Prompt delivery of their Sussex pale ale. A nice English pale ale and not too strong so you can have a few!

Always loved the Gurkhas
I recently enjoyed a very cold bottle of Gurkha lager in a Nepalese curry house in Derby and it was a creditable alternative to the always reliable Cobra. So I was delighted to find it brewed under licence by Hepworths and available at a very, very reasonable £3 a bottle in a case of 12. Ordering was simple and delivery as quick as can be. Trying the Ridgeway Brewery next: happy days.

Thank you, Nick, so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed Gurkha Lager - it’s a fantastic beer to pair with a good curry! It’s great to know you appreciated how easy it was to order and how quickly your delivery arrived, too.
We’re proud to be brewing Gurkha under licence here at Hepworth’s, and it’s always rewarding to hear positive feedback from customers who’ve discovered it that way. We hope you enjoy trying Ridgeway Brewery next - another excellent choice!
Thanks again for your support, and we look forward to serving you again soon.
Brewery Tour and shop
We attended the brewery tour and were really impressed with Martin and his enthusiasm. His experience shines through. The tour was interesting, and taste testing generous!
The shop is also well stocked with a range of interesting lagers and beers, including some excellent alcohol free choices. All the staff are able to offer great advice too. We cannot praise this enough!

Absolute 1st class service again. From ordering to the delivery of some Xmas beers for the family this service was faultless once again as used several times before. And never a problem. Thanks all for the rapid service. Will be ordering again in future. Thanks
