About
Keltek, meaning ‘Celtic’ in the Cornish language was chosen as the brewery’s name by founder and head brewer Stuart Heath. Established in 1997, our award-winning ales are brewed by hand with care and craftsmanship, using whole hop flowers and British malts. After winning gold for his very first brew, demand for his beers grew tremendously and expansion was needed. The first move was to a larger unit in Lostwithiel where the brewery’s capacity increased five-fold. In 2007 Keltek expanded again, moving to its current home in Redruth. We now have the capacity to brew over 250 brewer’s barrels a week. In addition, we have our own fully automated bottling line which filters, carbonates, fills, labels and caps the beer. Everything’s done in-house.

Keltek remains a family owned brewery that adheres to the age old traditions of brewing by hand with care and craftsmanship using the finest whole hop flowers, British malts and hand-pitched yeast.

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Slightly hazy gold beer. Smells a little sulphurous. Light crisp palate. Some sulphur but it’s overwhelmed by sherbetty lemon and pineapple fruits. Finishes crisp and dry. Good - could have been great without the bad eggs!

Wheal Treleigh Lager from Keltek Cornish Brewery

Brown 500ml bottle, best before the end of Feb 2010, drank end of Jan 2010. Bottle conditioned, so some sediment in the bottom of the bottle, poured carfully into my huge ’Judas’ tulip glass. A cloudy, old golden body with a pure white foaming head sat on top. I am always intreagued when a British Ale brewery has a go at a lager/pilsner, this one looks good. The head fell away to a collar and wispy covering with a little lacing left as the beer sank down the glass. Yeast aromas, grain and a hint of nutmeg all add together to produce a very interesting smell. Half lager, half ale flavours, sharp, refreshing and complexed. A bitterness in the aftertaste adds to the pleasure of drinking this brew. Good feel to this beer, different and well made.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before Nov 11, poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard Mar 11. As the name suggests, this is a golden coloured pale ale and looked fine with it’s initial full foaming white head. sadly the head fell away before I’d finished my first gulp of the beer. Citrus hop aroma, almost fruity too. The citrus in the small carries on nicely into the taste, this is a refreshing ale more than ale for strenght of flavours or depth of body parts. Taken in my back garden on a rare hot April afternoon, it hit the spot just right. I’ve had beers from these boys before, all fine so far.
