Description
The brewery was founded in May 2007 under the name Quercus Devon Ales in Churchstow, Devon. In 2011 new owners took over the brewery till 2016.
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 thanks to sisinlaw Sarah, cheers! Much the same really, malts smoother and not grainy. Mild marmalade hops, soft pine. Airy finish. It's quite drinkable but not really brewed for the likes of me.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Cloin. Pours clear yellow-gold with a slim, foamy white head. The nose holds pale bread, hay, vague citrus, faint butter. Light sweet flavour with some bitter hay, husky grains, citrus peel, grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more husky grains, faint butter, more straw. So so.
