John Hair and Son
John Hair and Son was an English brewer based in Melbourne, Derbyshire. It was founded in 1851, and acquired by Offiler's of Derby in 1954.[1][2]
The original brewery buildings still exist in Church Street. It had one tied house and a small clubs trade in Derby.[3] In 2016, the owners of the Chip and Pin micropub hoped they would be able to source the original Hair recipe and bring the beer back into production but were unable to.[4]
