The Iconic Arch of Great Corby The Old Forge of Great Corby has foundations dating back to 1833. Craft has always been at the heart of our site. From blacksmiths to brewers – masters of trade have always graced our plot to produce an end product of the finest quality.Handcrafted Beer Every beer tells a story. We like to think ours will engage you in a complex tale of tradition & heritage with tangible, contemporary notes thrown in for flavour. An anecdote from the dented pewter tankards of old to the sleek modern pint glass of today. Cheers!Our Clientele Our beers are far reaching and indiscriminate, but we’ll never forget our roots. The flat-capped farmers, weary hikers, and general grafters of Cumbria – they make up the lifeblood of our humble brewery.
