04Our story

Canal roots.
Music names.

The new chapter has an old one behind it. Don Valley Brewery started in a small microbrewery in Mexborough, next to the Don navigation, then moved to a purpose-built brewhouse at Sandtoft.

The beers are named after songs. Gongoozler, the stout, is the one named for the canal.
