Unit 7 Enterprise Park Piddlehinton, Dorchester, DT2 7UA, England
Description
NOTE:-
The brewery originally traded as 'Dorset Piddle' then dropped the 'Dorset' in 2014.
Beers produced since 2017 do not carry 'Dorset' in the name, with one exception, the Rogue but this follows Piddle instead of preceding it.
As such beers in the Brewver database carry the name 'Dorset Piddle - ' on the beers that went out of production after the 2014 rebranding.
This wasn't the cleanest or quickest transition and there were still beers being produced in 2015/16 with Dorset on the label.
With a name like Piddle, you’d think we don’t take anything seriously. Dictionary definitions of piddle vary. Some list it only as a verb; a synonym for wasting time, as in ‘piddling about’. British dictionaries also list it as a noun, as in “I need a piddle”. It’s lucky that we don’t take anything too seriously.
But, we do – just one thing – and that’s the beer that we make and love. Our passion is blending hops, barley and malts in to create ales that bring serious pleasure, from delicate thirst-quenchers to thick, velvety stouts. A mix made in heaven – or in as in our case Piddlehinton in deepest Dorset.

500ml bottle, gift from a friend: BB January 2025. Drank at home on 15th November 2024. Clean golden body, white crown that stayed around. Nice, easy going blonde; Barley, Wheat and Rye apparently, didn't pick up any Rye flavours though. Liked it.

500ml bottle from a friend, drank at home on 10th October 2024. Poured into a glass pint tankard. Huge beige head on a clean and clear mahogany body. Malty front with a decent hop bitterness coming through, really enjoyed it's earthy simplicity.
