Description
In 1794, Dorset rope and net makers, the Gundry family, built the Old Brewery on the banks of the River Brit in Bridport. Since then, there’s been non-stop brewing on this site. In the late 19th century, two Palmers brothers – John Cleeves and Robert Henry – bought the brewery and gave it their names: JC & RH Palmer. Today, their great grandsons, John and Cleeves Palmer, work in the company. As Palmers Brewery, it remains among the best of small independent brewers.

Rocky off white head on a dark reddish brown body. Malt, Coca-Cola, sarsaparilla & berry aroma. Medium to full bodied, smooth & creamy with a sticky back. Malt, demerara, chocolate, plum & raisin tastes with a big fruity finish. That's a fine tasty brew.
