Blue Monkey was born on the border of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire in 2008. In 2010 we built a lovely shiny new brewery in Giltbrook, where we can produce 40,000 pints of beer a week. This might sound like a lot, but compared with the big breweries we are a small fish.

We brew more than a dozen different types of beer including: Pale Ales, Stouts, Dark Ruby Ales and Black IPAs. We have a wonderful range of luscious fruit gins, all based on our classic London Dry and also have a range of rums distilled from sugar cane sourced from the Caribbean.

We like to think we’re big enough though to guarantee quality and consistency,  whilst still small enough to remain a tight knit team of beer enthusiasts, who are fortunate enough to be able to brew the beers we love.
