Wickwar Wessex (prev Wickwar Wessex Brewing) owns 1 brewery:

Description

Founded by Brian Rides and Ray Penny in 1990 in a former cooperage of the former Arnold, Perrett & Co. Ltd premises. In 2004, they moved into a new 50-barrel brewery in the old Arnold, Perrett brewhouse itself. In 2017, they acquired Mole's Brewery (and its pub estate). In 2021 the brewery closed and the brewing equipment was sold off. The pub estate became the Wickwar Wessex Pub Company, a Bristol based pub and brands business dating back to the dawn of the millennium. The beer range is contract-brewed at Butcombe Brewery.

Sampled cask conditioned. Black, but not altogether intransparent. Roasty aroma. Medium bodied, smooth, dry and salty with licorice flavour. Bitter finish. Well balanced.
