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.

Fra håndpumpe på The Mossy Well, Muswell Hill (London): klar kobber med ok skum. Lett syrlig aroma og smak i en slank maltkropp. Bær, karamell og tøekede frukter. En fruktig avslutning gjør den lettdrikkelig.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 8/2/2017. Deep gold in colour, with a moderately-sized, off-white, head. Sweet and fruity strong bitter, with bready and slightly toasty cereals, a touch of berry and citrus fruits and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
