Salcombe Brewery Co.
Microbrewery
in Kingsbridge,
Devon,
England 🏴
Associated Venue: Salcombe Brewery
Established in 2007
In September 2016 the business was purchased by a consortium led by city insurance specialist John Tiner and his wife Geraldine. They changed its name to the current one. In 2017 the brewery moved to the current location.
Salcombe Brewery Co. has stunning views towards the Salcombe Ria. The innovative new brewery is a unique concept situated above a decommissioned water reservoir, utilising the natural ambient temperature of the underground facility, making the brewery as energy efficient as possible. Together with the surrounding nature and views towards Salcombe, it’s a great place for local and visiting customers to enjoy.

Bottle from the Food shop in Dartington. Appearance - deep copper with a generous fluffy head. Nose - caramel, wet dishcloth and some brown bread. Taste - caramel, biscuit and malt bag. Palate - light to medium bodied. Roasty through middle and finish. Very dry but falls short of being astringent, thankfully. Overall - could be a bit more exciting.

500ml bottle; BBE Jan 2020. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio on 27th June 2019. Clear golden/amber body, white crown. Aroma and taste were both caramel forward in nature and the whole brew is sweet with very little bitterness. My sweet tooth liked it though.
