We were delighted to host a group of Steamin’ Billy managers, staff and friends last week, to say thank you for their continued support. The day started in Old Dalby where Owner/Master Brewer Colin Brown and GM/Head Brewer Derek Orford were chauffeur driven to the Parcel Yard in Leicester along with a few treats from...
MoreHead Brewer and GM Derek Orford explains a bit more about the old style beer that’s fighting back… It’s Mild in May and we have the weather to go with it! Brewers all over the country are busy brewing Mild beer. Mild, as a beer style, has been around for a few hundred years. These...
MoreUnbelievably we’re now well into Spring! The dark and dank days of January and February are a thing of the past and thoughts are turning to the summer ahead. Things are really starting to pick up at the brewery now after the usual post-Christmas ‘drinkers’ blues, and we’re looking forward to brewing even more beer for our loyal customers, along...
MoreOur new GM and Head Brewer Derek Orford shares more thoughts on life in and around the Vale… There are now more breweries in the UK (some 1,500 active) than at any time in the last hundred years or so. Go into many pubs or off-licences these days and you’ll find good British beer in...
MoreBelow is the second installment from our new Head Brewer and Beer Sommelier Derek Orford… It’s my third week at the brewery, but last weekend my focus was on moving into my new home at West Bridgford. It’s a lovely area, but there’s one thing wrong…none of our beers are currently available there on draft! Something...

MoreAs a reward for all of our hard work over the last few months Colin (Owner, MD, and Master Brewer) decided we all deserved a night out and a few (hopefully) decent pints, so he raided the petty cash and organised a whistle stop tour of some local pubs we deliver to. The Belvoir Brewery on Tour commenced next...
MoreIt’s been another busy and entertaining year at the brewery. We’ve continued to brew and supply our excellent beer for all to enjoy, and we’ve welcomed Andrea and Dan (full-time), and Thomas (part-time) to the team, while George has moved from a part-time role in the brewery to full-time. All have settled nicely into their new roles and are now important members of a happy team. ...
MoreWith only 8 days to go until Christmas why not pass the days by drinking a different hand crafted Belvoir Brewery beer every day. Today: Enjoy a crisp refreshing 3.6% Whipling to kick things off. Saturday 19th: Look into the night sky whilst savouring this 3.9% classic best bitter. Sunday 20th: Relax...
MoreThe festivities can finally commence as we’re happy to say both of our festive beers were racked this week and are now available. Thanks to some sterling work from Ed (seen here on the left) the new Fermenter is now looking like it belongs in the brewery, and it didn’t let us down with it’s debut...
