Description
Since changing our name from Topsham & Exminster Brewery in 2008, we have expanded ever more rapidly. We now have a fantastic site in Cowley Bridge Road where we have a retail shop and Tap-Room Bar. The Tap-Room is open every Thursday evening from 5pm to 11pm. Curry nights. Every last-Friday of the month the Tap room opens as normal, but we offer a curry, prepared and served by ARC Events. You don’t have to eat, just enjoy a drink, but the curries are great – takeaways available too.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Alice BS. Pours a hazy nutty brown with a small, rough off-white head. Subtle roasty aroma with a little licorice. Medium body, low carbonation, sweet roast and some ddried dark fruits. Somewhat minerally. Distinct bitterness in the finish. Closer to a Mild than to a Bitter I’d say. 051011

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of Alice BS. Hazy golden with a small, rough white head that dissipates completely. A dry, fresh fruitiness in the nose with a whiff of citrus. Light in body, completely flat, citrus notes and a dry lightly hopped finish. But fairly fresh and drinkable. 051011

Bottle from the Real Food Store, Exeter. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head and a touch of carbonation. Chocolate powder, caramel and plum fruit aroma. Bready malt flavours, with more chocolate, toffee and dried fruits, leading to a decent bitter finish. Good.
