INTRODUCING THE BOILERMAKER

Thornbridge Brewery and White Peak Distillery have collaborated on the perfect gift for beer and whisky lovers alike. The Derbyshire based businesses have been working together to create an iconic Boilermaker Giftpack.

The teams at White Peak and Thornbridge put their heads together earlier this year and came up with a plan to create a Boilermaker pack which showed off the best of both brands. Featuring Jaipur IPA, Thornbridge’s flagship beer and White Peak single malt spirit alongside a special edition stainless steel pint cup and a shot glass.

Thornbridge Brewery have been brewing the finest quality beer with a passion since 2005, recognising that not only quality but consistency and innovation are key to creating amazing and beautifully balanced beer. White Peak Distillery is the regions first whisky distillery, established in 2016 with a new approach to whisky-making; innovation in flavour built upon our local heritage.

Both Thornbridge and White Peak count themselves lucky to be able to work in the beautiful setting of Derbyshire and wanted to give a little something back. £1 from each pack sold will be donated to Derby Mountain Rescue Team to support the lifesaving service they provide.*

A team spokesperson for DMRT says:

“We’d like to thank the team at White Peak Distillery and Thornbridge Brewery for supporting us with this new venture, It’s been a difficult year for everyone, and our normal fundraising routes have diminished. A big thank you to both of these local businesses, their support is a much needed boost to the team and our fundraising efforts.” 

Max Vaughan, Founder of White Peak Distillery says:

“Thornbridge Brewery has long been at the heart of the region’s food & drink scene and has been a champion of innovation and quality. We share the same values and we’ve loved working together on the Boilermaker, it really showcases the benefits of collaboration amongst local businesses.”        

Simon Webster, Co-Founder and Owner of Thornbridge Brewery says: 

“We’re delighted to be working with White Peak Distillery, they truly are a fantastic Derbyshire business and I’m thrilled with the kit. It’s wonderful to be able to work together to produce new products, even in these unprecedented times, and this will be the first of many collaborations to come” 

The Boilermaker kit will be available to purchase from both thornbridgebrewery.co.uk and whitepeakdistillery.co.uk.
