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 @ Fortescue Inn, Salcombe. Copper-amber with a small bubbly-frothy head. It’s a bitter in style with a low to mid bitterness, but this allows a hint of sweetness through.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; weak grassy aroma; grassy taste with a sharp lemon zest bitterness; and a bready finish. A rather average summer ale.
