Description

The brewery was established in 2003 by dynamic husband and wife team, Jack and Pippa Lightbown. Using the knowledge gained from their contact with other independent brewers and enlisting the services of master brewer Dan Thomasson, Jack and Pippa began brewing their first beer, Fossil Fuel, on land adjacent to the pub. The brewery now produces five core beers which encompass a wide range of delicious styles and tastes as well as several seasonal ales, a cider and a wide range of real ale produce.

The brewery shares its plot with the Bankes Arms where you can sample the full range of our ales.

Purbeck IPA from Isle of Purbeck

5 years ago

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

Bottle at Salt Pig Too in Swanage. Grainy aroma with fruity hints. Amber. Frothy off-white head soon disappears apart from a few straggler bubbles. Medium bitter. Grains. Tangy sour berry sour streak. Spice and caramel develop. Light-medium bodied. Relatively thin but slick. Very lively fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Nice enough but ends up a but thin seeming. More of an ESB... perhaps an IPA - English.

Full Steam Ahead from Isle of Purbeck

6.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7.5

Bottle at McKenzie's Café & Bistro, Swanage. Aroma is malty, sweet and fruity. A haze to the amber body. Creamy white head just clings to the rim. Light-medium sweet with a sour edge. As per the aroma it's malt driven. Caramel and tinned fruit. Develops a bitter spicy streak. Medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish with some dryness. Pale Ale/Golden Ale - in this case an example of why on Ratebeer the former was always added as the latter. OK if not particularly inspiring. 3.2

Thermal Cheer from Isle of Purbeck

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7

Cask at Southampton Arms. Dark brown with almost no head. Aroma is dark fruit, and a bit of sweet maltiness. Bit grainy too. Taste is much the same, sweet and fruity. Bit of sugarry tea, and lots of oat. Maybe some liquorice. Texture a bit oily. Not bad.
