Distant Hills Brewing — Restaurant in High Peak

Absolutely love this place. I get my beer here for my man cave at home but still love coming to the open days in the tap. Have been on the brewery tour and I have to say, although I was not really bothered about the tour, as had been on several before, found it both informative and entertaining. Stu, Emma and the gang are fabulous. Always been made to feel very welcome both as a new customer and a now a member. Times have changed massively at this place, its no longer a brewery but it still has its bespoke beers brewed elsewhere, there has been a change of management, chef, refurbishment. It was a quaint little tap room, now it is a premier venue for weekend family parties, works dos, you name it. You can still sit at the bar with a reasonably priced quality pint of ale and shoot the breeze with the very friendly bar staff. Food is excellent too so give it a try if you haven't already. Change is...

This brewery outlet and restaurant has a pleasant green setting in Old Glossop with outdoor and indoor seating, helpful staff and imaginative options on the menu, including vegan and veggie ones - a lot of the options are light bites rather than full meals, and of course there are the various house beers.

It's worth going to try some dishes that are a bit different, even if you're not big on beer. On that topic, I haven't the heart to deduct a star for it, but it is a shame that no alcohol-free beer is on offer, and secondly, I once ordered a home-brewed 'Hefeweizen' which is a German-style wheat beer cloudy with yeast in it, and it was served lukewarm. Being firstly German and secondly a refreshing summer drink this type of beer absolutely needs to be consumed...

The perfect tonic after a long day's hike. Distant Hills is nondescript on the outside bar a few picnic tables out the front in the beer garden. We chose to sit inside which was a cushy, warm atmosphere. Being with teetotalling pescatarian, breweries can sometimes be a bit of a dangerous proposition, but along with the ample selection of beer, there were plenty of non-alcoholic options while the food venue was about half/half meat and no meat. Plenty of vegan options as well. The food was exceptional and perfectly portioned - cozy and familiar but with a gourmet touch. The beers were pretty decent with a good mix of styles - both cask and draught. The bartender was friendly without being overbearing and the whole joint ran very efficiently. All that and the prices were reasonable as well! Absolutely worth the walk from the...
