FATHER'S DAY

Hi all. We have had quite a few calls and enquiries about REVELRY DAY.
Just for clarity and for those of you who have our Father's Day event in your rolling diary... (thank you for that!!)

WE ARE NOT HOSTING REVELRY DAY THIS YEAR (2024).

We are taking a break this year but there will be a REVELRY DAY next year on Sunday 15th June.

We will be offering in-store discounts for on-site shop purchases next week (Sat 8th-Sat 15th June) so if the 'DAD' in your life kicks off about not being taken to Revelry Day you can still appease him with a beery gift from Bishop Nick! 😉

Love a brand photo shoot! Thanks Ollie  for making our beers look as fantastic as they taste!

It's a big weekend in Thaxted, it's the Thaxted Morris Men's annual weekend of dance.
Lots of teams will be joining in the fun and dancing at local pubs on Saturday.
There's great beer to be enjoyed in Thaxted (ours, of course!) at The Maypole, the Swan Hotel and courtesy of the Morris Men.
Many of the pubs on the tour are also serving Bishop Nick beer, so why not enjoy a cheeky pint while they entertain you.
In the evening, there will be a procession to Town Street, massed dancing, followed by the ancient, ritual Abbots Bromley Horn Dance at 22.15
Cheers 🍻

Our Story

Essex-based craft brewery. Six generations of Ridley brewing. Way back in Tudor times Bishop Nicholas Ridley burned his name into history by being martyred for sticking to his beliefs. Three centuries on in 1842 the Ridleys made history again, only this time firing-up the kettles to create the finest brews in Essex. And so here we are with six generations of brewing in our blood and fire in our bellies peddling ales and tales of Bishop Nick.
