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 from Tuckers Maltings. Copper, no head and moderate carbonation. Malty aroma, with a hint of chocolate. Sweetish flavour, some fruit, chocolate and an earthy edge, leading to a short, bitter finish. OK.

Bottle from Humpers, Bristol. Dark brown in colour with reddish undertones and next to no head. Aroma of milk chocolate and dark fruit, with some roasted notes and a slightly lactic edge. Flavour was sweet, with plenty more chocolate and fruit and a bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

Cask at the Live and Let Live, Cambridge. Reddish copper with a ring of white head; the aroma is musty and mushroomy, but rather pleasant; sweet fruity malt flavours and a sour fruity finish. Different.
