Steeped in history and representative of Burton’s famous brewing heritage, it is no wonder that that the National Brewing Museum is around to celebrate a 40 year.
Throughout the years its future has faced uncertainty but the strength of the town’s brewing and its passion has prevailed, meaning the vital venue, continues to sit in the heart of the town.
Though many things have changed during the four decades, both around the world and around the museum, two things have remained the same: volunteers continue to give their all to see it thrive and visitors continue to flock in their thousands to learn about the brewing of yesteryear.
Of course, we have many things to boast about in Burton and South Derbyshire, including being home to marmite, neighbours to St George’s Park and part of the National Forest, but the revenue, recognition and atmosphere that the museum and the National Brewery Centre bring to the town, is iconic and appeals to millions of people, young and old, of many generations.
Although history forms a massive part of the success of the Horninglow Street venue, it is great to see that the staff and volunteers are keen to keep it moving forward and have great plans for the future, which will no doubt see it go from strength to strength.
With its vintage events, live music, beer festivals, tours and stunning shire horses, there really is something for everyone at the National Brewery Centre and Museum, which is why I am hopeful that we will be writing about the continued success of the site in another forty years.
