Unit 15 Pomphlett Farm Industrial Estate, Broxton Drive, Plymstock, Plymouth, PL9 7BG, England
Description
We produce a range of cask and bottle conditioned “real ales” from ingredients sourced as locally as possible. All of our recipes use whole leaf English hops mainly from Herefordshire and Worcestershire. The fermentation yeast is “wet” reducing the amount of waste yeast from each brew and allowing the strain to develop its own distinctive characteristics. Our spent grains, the remains of the malted barley after mashing, are collected by a local farmer and fed to his cattle. Our beers can be found in pubs, shops and restaurants in Plymouth, West Devon, the South Hams, Torbay and Cornwall who are passionate about local produce. The brewery was founded in 1983 by Adam Summerskill and has been here in Plymstock since 1985.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours “bitter brown” with ample white head and good lacing. Malts and sugar in the nose. Sweet malts again in the mouth, with traces of caramel and nuts. Some bitterness comes thorugh at the finish. A decent traditional bitter – but a bit one dimensional.
