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.

Cask at the Cornfield Exchange, Eastbourne. Poured a mostly clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is sweet malt. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, yeasty, herbal, light sweet toffee, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Ok, but way too sweet for a session.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A hazy amber pour with a tight cream head; biscuity malt aroma; creamy in the mouth with a berry fruit taste and a bready body; then a dry finish with more tart berries. Unattractive but tasty.
