Seventh heaven for expanding craft brewery

Derby Brewing Company

A fast-growing craft brewery is set to expand by opening a seventh site.

Derby Brewing Company recently launched its sixth venue, The Clubhouse, on Friar Gate in Derby city centre, and will now open a further pub on Dale Road in Matlock.

The Pointing Dogs, located on the site of a former branch of NatWest, will be split across three levels, including a main bar, mezzanine, a restaurant with riverside views and a cellar bar.

The site was previously occupied by Herd Steakhouse after NatWest moved out.

Work on the pub is due to begin immediately with opening scheduled for August.

Founded in 2004 by Trevor Harris, Derby Brewing produces a wide range of ales and craft beers.

As well as The Clubhouse, the company operates the Derby Brewing Tap House and The Greyhound in Derby city centre, The Hole in the Wall in Mickleover, The Middle Bell in Barton under Needwood and The Pig at Lichfield.

Paul Harris, managing director of Derby Brewing, said: “Matlock has been a target location for us for some time and we are delighted to have secured such a fantastic venue.

“We can’t wait to bring our modern Derby Brewing offer to Matlock, combining an unrivalled drinks range with excellent food. We hope everyone will agree it will be a great addition to the town.”
