About
Cotleigh Brewery began life in Devon in 1979, in the old stable block of Cotleigh Farmhouse at Washfield near Tiverton. Immediate success meant that in 1980 the brewery moved to the historic brewing town of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. Its original owner Ted Bishop was succeeded in the early 80's by John and Jenny Aries, who built upon the brewery's success. The brewery moved in 1985 to the current location in order to fulfil ever-increasing demand. Currently is Stephen Heptinstall the sole owner of the Brewery.

Cask at Mogul, Dover Another excellent beer from this brewery. Dark red beer with roasted malt flavours and some fruit leading to a dryish finish with more choc/coffee flavours and rich fruit. One of my favourite porters.

Gravity at Red Lion, Snargate. Amber coloured and is a bit nutty. Bit thin in mouth, but a very nice hop finish. nothing exceptional, which is a shame cos I do like Cotleigh beers

Sampled cask conditioned. Dark brown, slightly hazy. Light bodied. Slighly acidic, but refreshingly so, somewhat roasty. Not much bitterness, so instead there is this unusual acidity and a hint of fruitiness in the finish.
