Description
Brewing started behind the Royal Clarence Hotel, and in those days trading as the Royal Clarence Hotel Brewery, in Burnhan-on-Sea in August 1982. A 5 barrel brew plant was used primarily to supply the hotel only. The brewery was taken over in May 1984 and the beers became more available in the free trade. Due to problems with the water supply, the brewery was using that much that hotel guests could not wash, the brewery moved in January 1993 to an old cider mill in West Hewish, Weston-super-Mare. Capacity was tripled during the move and in 2000 work started on upgrading the plant to a 30 barrel brew length. The brewery closed in early 2017 but relaunched shortly afterwards as Pitchfolk Brewery.

Craft. Clear dark red-brown beer. Tidy pale tan head. Juicy tangy dark malts, light. Very light touch of smoke. Very well integrated coffee and dark chocolate. Subtle wheat beer like bubblegum and red berry fruits. Smooth finish with more dark chocolate. Windbad of a name but a nice smoked beer!
