Description
Dorset Brewing Company was founded in 1996, when Giles Smeath restored an 800-year-old brewing tradition to the Dorset port of Weymouth in the heart of the World Heritage Coastline (the Jurassic Coast).
Set in the beautiful, historic county of Dorset, this well-loved and respected family brewery has grown in size and stature. From its humble beginnings at the historic Devenish & Groves site in Weymouth, Dorset Brewing Company (aka DBC) relocated in 2011 to Crossways and upgraded to a state-of-the-art spring water-fed brewhouse (The Jurassic Brewhouse), capable of crafting 1.5 million pints a year.
DBC strives to produce an individual product representing the very best of Dorset, leading the way with our popular Jurassic Coast brands. The involvement and support of the family ensures the emphasis is always on quality ales and excellent personal customer care.

Cask at the Three Guineas, Reading. Slightly hazy reddish gold with a lasting cream head; sweet malty aroma; soft malt flavour with a touch of autumn fruit; lightly bitter finish. A bog standard bitter - drinkable but unexciting.

Spoons - Goodmans Fields, London. Hazy amber beer. Little white head. Dry palate, a little soft. Bitterish hops but reasonably well balanced by slightly sweet malt. Trace of banana. Finishes dry. Okay.

Raven, Bath. Golden-amber. Sweetish with light caramel. Nice chocolate, more caramel on the palate - good balance but really nothing special.

Cask at NWAF 2009. A pale brown beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and fruit - among them light citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and fruit, leading to a dry bitter finish.
