About
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.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Now under the ’Lyme Regis’ label. Almost clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has mild fine carbonation. Usual bitter profile - tangy dried fruits, bitter floralness, and mild citric peel. Not so typical is a touch of violets. Minerally dry finish. Okay.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Now under the ’Lyme Regis’ label. Lightly hazy amber beer, a few pale cream colour bubbles. Palate is light, semi dry and has fine carbonation. Thin dry malts, some unsweet caramel. Floral bitterness. Whisper of dried fruits. Dry finish. Bitter linger. Passable bitter.

Tap at the brewery. Golden colour, fluffy white head. Citrusy fruity nose. Medium-bodied, malty sweetness with nice citrusy hints and a bitter touch. Not very lager-like, but quite nice!

Gravity dispense at EBF XX, EUSC, 02/04/15. Hazed golden with little in the way of a covering. Nose is toffee, spice, light malt bill, fruit rinds. Taste comprises straw, earthy notes, fruit peel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. Pretty mediocre ... yawn.

Bottle( thanks to the teacher!): Light amber coloured, a bit unclear, lively carbonation, loose and slowly collapsing off-white head; delicate nutty and chocolatey(!) traces in the bitter and caramelly nose; dryish, still not too dry, bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied and a bit fizzy; lingering dry bitter finish, hoppy aftertaste. Good…

Bottle picked up at Sidmouth Wines consumed at home Sunday 22nd November 2014. Mid amber in colour a wispy film for a head otherwise flat as a witches tit. Fairly wishy-washy beer, hoppiness is very quiet, soft and a little malty but lacks bite, crispness and comes across as a little watery. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.9
