Leatherbritches Brewery
at the Bentley Brook Inn
Fenny Bentley, Derbyshire www.bentleybrookinn.co.uk/

Wakefield CAMRA were met and shown around by the proprietor of the Bentley Brook Inn, David Allingham who gave us his own unique slant on the business.
Most members of the family are involved in some aspect of the licensed trade if not the inn and the brewery itself, where third son Bill runs the brewery with David Corby as Head Brewer. Full history on their own web-site, including an explanation of their name.
