Description
Lyme Regis Brewery was founded in 2010 as The Town Mill Brewery. The group of gents who established the brewery here at The Town Mill wanted to create award-winning cask ales right here in Lyme Regis, and to demonstrate the craft of brewing to visitors of the Town Mill.
Over the past decade, the brewery crafted a selection of fine ales which were available in cask and bottle throughout the region. The small brewery in the Malthouse at the Town Mill was moved to a larger production facility just outside of Lyme Regis to enable greater production.
In late 2014 the brewery was rebranded as Lyme Regis Brewery in an effort to grow the business and make the brand more synonymous with the Jurassic Coast.
Despite the hard work of the team who established the brewery, a decision was taken to pass on the ownership in the Autumn of 2018 due to poor sales. When four local mates heard of the opportunity, they decided to step in and take the helm.
Wes, Adam, Elliott and Dan took over running of the brewery on 1st December 2018, saving it from closure with a new vision and direction for what the brewery could be.

Cask-conditioned on gravity at the Exeter Winter Ales Festival 14/1/2017. Ruby red in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Sweetish winter ale, with some bready malts, fruit cake notes, leafy hops and a touch of chocolate, before a warming, slightly bitter, finish. Good.

On tap at Cellar 59, Lyme Regis, July 2016. Clear gold, with a decent white head and plenty of fizz. Pleasant lager, with a soft mouth feel, sweetish cereal malts, leafy hops, a touch of lemon fruit and lingering, bitter, finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle that my wife got me from the brewery-thanks! Dark brown with a large beige head and a middling fizz. Chocolate and roasted malt up front, then a brief tang of lemon and lots of blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaves. Something savoury there too- salt and maybe twiglets. Long-lasting roasty finish. Tasty and interesting.

Bottle from Ammonite Fine Foods, the sole outlet. Clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth with modest carbonation. Smooth clean pale malts, trace of cream. Floral bitterness gathers momentum. Whisper of citrus and exotic fruits. Light finish. Medium bitter linger. Clean and drinkable if unremarkable.

Bottle from Ammonite Fine Foods which is the sole outlet. Hazy gold beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a fine minerally crispness. . Thin malts, mild sweetness. A little floral bitterness. Little yeast. Mild pithy orange on the dry finish. Standard stuff.

Bottle from the brewery that Dad shared- cheers! A hazy amber beer with a tight cream head. Sweet at first, and the alcohol is evident. Lots of wheat chaff, a little citrus and berry with some toast and coffee notes in the dry finish. Ok beer.
