An award-winning microbrewery based in Glossop, Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District National Park. We are located a short 15 minutes walk from Glossop Railway station. Founded in 2005, Howard Town Brewery produces award-winning cask ales which can be regularly found in pubs throughout Derbyshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Cheshire and Greater Manchester. Our six regular beers and seasonal specials can also be found further afield thanks to a network of wholesalers. 2023 sees the brewery entering its 19th year of brewing great beers with the company going from strength to strength.
Recently the brewery has been taken over by local Danny James, rebranding to Distant Hills (previously the experimental range) which has seen the revamped tap room and outdoor beer garden boom.
