We are the only independent registered community benefit society brewery in the UK. All our profits go to good causes, and we have 400+ members, each of whom own a share in the brewery.
All our brewing, racking out and bottling is performed by member volunteers under the supervision of experienced and qualified brewers.
Drone Valley Brewery is a Community Benefit Society. It is made up of a group of people with an interest in brewing beer and serving the local community in Dronfield and S18. We have members further afield too – in Scotland, and even in Connecticut and New Zealand! It doesn’t matter where you live, you are welcome in our society.
Our aim is to put a portion of our profits into good causes in the S18 catchment and support local people through work experience, volunteer opportunities and training and development.
We have an elected Management Committee, all of whom are volunteers.
Our home is a refurbished unit, paid for using investment from our members. Anyone is welcome to invest.
Membership costs £10 per year. This includes a £1 member share (and a vote). To become a member, click the ‘Sign Up’ button further down this page.
Investment shares can be bought in multiples of £250. You can also buy a share with friends or family members.
We are making progress but there is still lots to do… Are you interested in brewing and enjoying beer and helping your local community? Or perhaps you’d like to invest? We would love you to be involved!
